Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Mutated Water Bear
Hua Tong was almost cut, a cold sweat broke out on his back, and his big eyes looked at the direction of the space tunnel in a dull manner, although he was now out of sight.
Mo Yan pulled Hua Tong into the office, took out the red copy, and dialed the phone number of the Li people.
"Li Clan, what's the matter with your space tunnel? I almost killed Hua Tong just now. Mo Yan's tone was obviously with a fiery temperament and asked the Li clan.
The voice on the other end of the Li family phone also seemed very aggrieved, and complained to Mo Yan: "Brother Yan, I also just received information from all over the world, showing that my space tunnel is not usable, if I hadn't forgotten to take something and go back just now, I would probably be killed by my own space tunnel now."
"What's going on?" Mo Yan asked the Li clan again.
"I observed the pillar that opened my space tunnel, the original glowing things on both sides are now not lit, it is very likely that there is no energy, I don't know how to charge it, I just asked an electrician to use electricity to put it on the pillar of the space tunnel, only to see that the empty opening has tripped, and the entire building is broken, and there is no effect."
Hearing the words of the Li clan, it was obvious that the space tunnel would not be able to be used to reach Binhe City in a short period of time, and Mo Yan dialed the phone of Major General Yuan Hua.
"Hey, general, I'm Mo Yan, the space tunnel of the Li clan has no energy, we have to take the maglev train to Binhe City, you see if you can apply for a special train from your superiors, and we will rush over immediately."
"Good, good! Don't worry, I'll apply for it and wait for my news later."
After Yuan Hua on the other end of the phone hung up the phone, he immediately told the guards to pack the food he ate and bring it back, and hurriedly drove to the headquarters of the military region in a special car.
Hua Tong hadn't recovered from what had just happened, and was still staying there motionless, Mo Yan stepped forward and covered her head with her hand and slowly put it on her shoulder, constantly comforting her, "It's okay, it's okay, you don't have to be afraid, there is me."
Hua Tong was gradually relaxed by Mo Yan's constant comfort, and the tense nerves just now whispered in his ear: "Do they want to kill me?" If we don't go, why should we care about their lives or deaths? ”。
Listening to Hua Tong's words, Mo Yan clearly realized that the estrangement between Hua Tong and them in her heart was obviously irreparable, and what she could do now was to avoid her head-on conflict with those people as much as possible.
"Chief Hua, what's wrong?" Li Lili asked Mo Yan.
Mo Yan looked back at Li Lili and chuckled, "If you had entered the space tunnel first just now, how would you feel now?" ”。
Mo Yan's phone began to ding-dong again, and he picked up his mobile phone and glanced at the message sent by General Yuan Hua, which showed that a special train had been arranged to send them to Binhe City
Mo Yan slowly lifted Hua Tong on his shoulder, and looked at her with his eyes, "The Li clan also said, it's his space tunnel that has no energy, and it's not good to work in various places, it's not that they want to harm you, with me, I will definitely do my best to protect you, and we have General Yuan Hua behind us to support us, then we will get in the car now and go to Binhe City, do you think it's okay."
Hua Tong, who calmed down for a while, nodded slightly.
The driverless car, which had already been booked, had already stopped under the office building, and Mo Yan asked the two of them to check whether their clothes fit tightly, and when they saw that they were ready, they stepped into the car.
The uncle at the door saw the driverless car quickly rise and disappear in front of him, and he was very envious and muttered in the direction of the distant figure car, "If my physical condition allows, I also want to reflect it on the car, it's better to be young."
Mo Yan watched the real-time broadcast on the special train, the infection has appeared in 97 countries and regions, and even the Arctic region has received infection cases, the first report began to spread in country F, and then spread with the 30 ° north latitude line, and finally extended from north to south, the first time in China appeared in Binhe City, where Su Cheng is located, and now it has spread to the north to Hongxing City, and the transmission speed of more than 2,000 kilometers made Mo Yan ask Hua Tong in surprise, "What kind of virus can spread so fast in half an hour?" ”。
"It's not that it spreads fast, but it erupts in different locations at the same time." Hua Tong flipped through the professional books he brought and explained to Mo Yan.
The maglev train was moving at a rapid pace, and soon after five hours, it arrived at the Binhe City station.
There were very few people coming and going, even if they watched the two people walking head-on, they were quickly estranged from each other as if they were hiding from the plague god, they were wearing masks, and their eyes were full of fear when they saw each other.
The reserved special car that had been waiting at the station for a long time had already stopped at the exit of the station, Mo Yan entered his fingerprints and sat in the back of the car with Hua Tong, and Li Lili sat in front of the car. Mo Yan told Li Lili to slow down the car so that he could carefully observe the situation of other people on the road.
The three of them looked through the car window, there were very few people on the street, ambulances were constantly passing underneath, many doors of the mall were closed, and the streets were full of robots spraying chemicals, and they would spray some of the people and vehicles they saw passing by.
There are also people lying motionless on the street, and if you look closely, it is the same as the photos sent by Su Cheng, some of them have corroded more than half of their bodies, and there is not a complete corpse. Seeing this scene, Li Lili quickly turned his head out of the car window, turned around and closed his eyes, trying to control the symptoms of retching as much as possible.
"There is progress, I won't vomit again after seeing it for so long" Mo Yan gently patted Li Lili in the front seat and encouraged him.
Li Lili was also constantly swallowing saliva and pressing back in the process of nausea, and the disgusting tears in his eyes swirled in his eyes.
Soon the car arrived at the place where Su Cheng was watching Bai Xiaodu.
When the two got out of the car, the guards stopped them, stretched out their hands and motioned for their papers.
When the soldiers at the door saw Mo Yan's documents, they immediately stood up and saluted, and then let them pass.
"Hello? Su Cheng? Where are you? We've arrived," Mo Yan dialed Su Cheng's mobile phone.
Su Cheng's phone call was not his own voice, but a woman's "Hey, Chief Mo, Su Cheng asked me to convey to you to come to the infirmary not far away, he is a little inconvenient to move now."
Mo Yan, who put down the phone, hurriedly pulled Hua Tong and beckoned Li Lili to follow suit, and they ran to the medical staff who were waving not far away.
"What about Su Cheng? What happened to him? Why didn't he answer the phone, what happened? Mo Yan's several hurried inquiries made the medical staff at the door not know what to answer.
"I'm here, I'm fine, it's just that I also seem to have a little infection, we can't go out, just quarantine in the next place, I'm afraid you don't have protective measures so I made sure to let you in inside, you guys are the latest anti-virus clothing?".
Hearing that Su Cheng was still safe for the time being, Mo Yan's nervous heart finally let go and looked at Su Cheng's face a little haggard.
Su Cheng looked at the newcomer beside Mo Yan, coughed a few times, and asked Mo Yan, "Who is this?" ”。
"Let's go in first", Mo Yan finished helping the haggard Su Cheng and entered his exclusive infirmary.
Looking at the infirmary full of important personnel, and seeing Lieutenant General Wei Long hanging with his eyes closed and dying, Mo Yan still knew the power of this spread.
"I'll take you to the research desk in the infirmary first, where there are a lot of dead people, the medical staff are using professional equipment transferred from nearby to identify, wait for me, I'll put on protective clothing first." Su Cheng walked to the door of the research platform and stretched out his hand, but he couldn't reach the protective clothing hanging on it, Li Lili quickly stepped forward and helped him take off the clothing, looking at the diligent young man in front of him, Su Cheng looked at Mo Yan and asked, "What's his name?" ”。
"His name is Li Lili, and he is my newly recruited team." Su Cheng listened to Mo Yan's words, looked at Li Lili with his eyes, and said to him, "Mo Yan and I are good buddies, you can come to me at any time in the future."
"Yes! Sir! ”。
"Hey, Su Cheng, look at what you're like now? People who are still thinking about digging us" Hua Tong looked at Su Cheng's haggard face, looking a little reluctant.
Su Cheng only smiled slightly, looked at Hua Tong and said, "Can I survive today, it's hard to say?" Did you see General Weilong? He is designated to not survive today, the unknown virus has corroded his vital organs, even if the corrosion is stopped, it will not be saved, let's go inside."
Mo Yan glared at Hua Tong and then helped Su Cheng to enter the research platform.
Li Lili saw that the corpse in front of him was obviously much more accustomed than before, and looking at such a rotting corpse up close, this was the first time in his life, and his heart was still full of some fear.
Su Cheng picked up the information and explained to Mo Yan, "Our Binhe City has the fastest transmission capacity, and the epidemic in other countries has been showing signs as early as a week ago, and it is obvious that our place has undergone some special treatment."
"It's Bai Xiaodu who is doing the trick." Mo Yan interrupted Su Cheng's words and replied to him in a very positive tone.
"Then it explains why Bai Xiaodu didn't make any resistance, it may be that he broke the reagent and released the virus after entering the detention room."
Hua Tong looked at a broken reagent bottle on the table and asked, "Is it it?" ”。
"Well, it's it".
"Did you detect what's inside?"
"No, it's empty, it's strange, even the bacteria don't see it."
The infirmary's inspectors looked at the corroded tissues of the deceased who had been isolated, and one of them noticed an astonishing phenomenon and shouted at the others, "It's fluorosilicic acid!" ”。
"What? Fluorosilicic acid! ”。
"How can fluorosilicic acid appear?". While everyone was puzzled, Sumina ran into the laboratory and heard the word fluorosilicic acid.
"It's a silicon-based lifeform, find out if there is a silicon-based lifeform in the deceased's body?" Su Mina's words woke up Su Cheng, who was still worried about her sister's comfort, whether she was afraid that she would also be infected, obviously this worry was superfluous in Su Mina, and immediately called Shang Huatong and Mo Yan to go to the research platform to find out what kind of silicon-based life has such great destructive power.
Su Mina saw that her brother's face was not very good, she grabbed his sleeve and asked him if he was also infected, seeing that her brother ignored her, and looked at the people around her, Li Lili looked at Su Mina and nodded in his direction.
Without saying a word, Su Mina tore open her brother's protective suit, took out a bottle of reagent in her pocket, opened it, and aimed it at Su Cheng's nose.
Coughed a few times, looked up at Sumina and shouted, "What did you suck for me, it's so pungent, look at my brother, if you can't do it, hello, let me die early and divide the family property, right?" You conscienceless."
The reaction of everyone in the room to Su Mina was also shocked, and they looked at Su Cheng's brothers and sisters.
Seeing that her brother misunderstood her like this, Su Mina pulled Su Cheng's ear, and then stretched out her fingernailless finger and shouted at her brother, "Look! I lost a nail to test this thing."
Hua Tong stepped down from the research platform, looked at Sumina's hand, and asked what was going on.
"Sister Hua, do you remember what Wutong Mountain told us with a bottle of reagents? She said that this thing can make me die very painfully, so I took this bottle of reagent with me when I went down the mountain, and on the way back I thought of what Toe Tao said, and wanted to try how good it was, but as soon as I opened the mouth of the reagent, a little gas was revealed, and one of my fingernails was gone."
Su Cheng looked at his sister and asked, "According to what you mean, it is the ether decomposition element brought by the toe gluttony?" ”。
Su Mina increased her strength, continued to screw Su Cheng's ear, and shouted at him angrily, "What do you think? He also said that I have no conscience, and if I have no conscience, I will not save you."
Su Cheng was twisted by Su Mina's ears and his expression was so distorted that he begged for mercy, and Hua Tong persuaded Su Cheng, "You bear with it, your sister is also good for you, the shock and pain can make your breathing and blood circulation faster, which is better beneficial for you to absorb this ether decomposition element."
Su Cheng has no choice, so he only has a ninja.
Mo Yan, Hua Tong, and the rest of the staff used the existing equipment to find any silicon-based lifeforms in Su Mina's mouth.
Hua Tong glanced at Mo Yan and asked, "Did you find it?" ”。
Mo Yan kept shaking his head.
Hua Tong asked the others again: "Is there any more cutting-edge equipment?" We can't find that kind of silicon-based life."
Li Lili stood up at this time, took out a brain-computer device from his military backpack, and then made a report to Chief Mo Yan.
"Report! Sir! I want to give it a try."
Seeing Li Lili volunteering so much, Mo Yan gave up the research platform and gave up his seat to sit down.
Everyone else also recommended themselves in order to come over to see what kind of ability this little-known guy has to be so confident.
I saw Li Lili bring the brain machine, then closed his eyes and closed his eyes for a while, opened his eyes and looked at the specimen taken from the corpse, with the help of existing instruments and dyes and through the careful observation of the brain machine, he kept saying to others that what he saw "There are no bacteria in the corpse, but".
"But what?" Su Cheng kept rubbing his ears and asked Li Lili.
Li Lili glanced at Su Mina and understood, "The tardigrade is a tardigrade with wings, he and Chief Su's sister have the same ability to emit light, when I used the smallest needle to separate it from the human tissue, it quickly spread its wings and emitted a crystal-like fine light, it is obvious that he is a modified tardigrade."
"Then I know what to do, take them out and let them multiply in large numbers to extract ether decomposition elements, as long as the ether elements stick to the silicon matrix from the outside, they can be broken down very quickly." After Su Cheng finished speaking, he shouted, and the guards outside the door went to inform other institutions to develop this gas immediately, and it should be developed in large quantities and distributed to the world.
Su Cheng remembered one thing at this time, an important opportunity.
Immediately picked up the remaining half of the gas in his sister's hand, walked out of the research room, and came to General Weilong's side.
"General, we have found a solution, you have to hold on".
Looking at Su Cheng in front of him, he grabbed his hand tightly, and his eyes were slightly filled with tears.
"Su Cheng, don't get so close to me, otherwise you will also be infected, don't you see that they all avoid me? Why are you still looking for death? When General Wei Long said this, he excitedly pushed Su Cheng's hand out, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes.
Su Cheng held General Wei Long's hand and kept pushing him away and said, "General, I am your soldier, no matter what happens to you, I will save you, this is the only little antidote that my sister brought, you inhale it first, your illness will definitely get better."
General Wei Long couldn't cry at this time, and kept knocking on the blood and sucking the bottle of reagent.
"Su Cheng, bring me my phone." Wei Long's trembling voice called out to Su Cheng.
Wei Long motioned to Su Cheng to turn on the phone, perform face recognition, and then dialed the phone number of his superiors, "I am Lieutenant General Wei Long of a military region in the south, I have been dying for a long time, and now I use the video as evidence to recommend Su Cheng, he has performed well this time, and has found out the special medicine to fight this flu, I hope the organization can approve it, this salute, send!" Su Chengyan saw a message email sent to the headquarters of the military region, and slowly put down his mobile phone.
General Weilong asked Su Cheng to tell him something close to his ear, and Su Cheng squatted down and slowly leaned his ear over.
I only heard Wei Long say, "I thought about killing you, but at this time I can't do anything, I have observed that you are also a person who is extremely interested in power, and your vanity is also very strong." When the above receives my documents and sees my *** case, I think you will definitely surpass Mo Yan's military rank, he is now a major, and he is promoted faster than you, but you have to think clearly, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, he will be a threat to your power sooner or later, either you will press him in the future, or he will press you in the future, if his military rank is higher than you, you are familiar with Hua Tong next to him, you have to think clearly."
After Wei Long finished speaking, he coughed loudly and spit out a large mouthful of blood, the green tendons on his face leaked, and it looked like he was in pain, and after struggling for a while, he collapsed on the hospital bed.
When the armed warrior next to him saw it, he opened the gauze that was oozing blood from Wei Long's neck, and there was also a passage from his throat to the bed cloth.
"If you want to make trouble with Brother Mo Yan in the future, don't blame my sister for turning her face and not recognizing people." Su Mina, who followed closely, heard Wei Long's conversation with his brother not far away, and looked at Su Cheng with round eyes.
"Mo Yan is my good buddy, how can I be bad with him? When do you think I've been bad with him? Su Cheng smiled and dealt with Su Mina in his mouth.
However, a seed of estrangement is planted, and there is no change in the soil on weekdays, but as time goes by, this seed slowly germinates, and one day it will grow to the surface.
