We didn't release the trigger until the flamethrower ran out of fuel, the floor was still burning, and Floret used an iron plate to push the small ball into the fire, and a bottle of disinfectant that had been prepared was spilled on the ground and equipment.

Looking at the flames that were gradually extinguishing, I was in a trance, I had seen so many monsters, this was the best one to deal with. From the amazing start to the simple end, let us go in three times and three out, and then take the equipment and discuss it and finally kill it so lightly, but I don't know if Xiang Ci has collected a sample.

I looked at Xiang Ci, pointed to the stainless steel cylinder in his hand, and nodded. I finally looked at the fire and said, "Let's go, find someone to put out the fire." ”

No matter how weird this monster is, the charcoal that remains of the burn is not very different from the usual ashes. I rummaged through the coke that still had a lot of warmth to make sure there was no more threat before packing up and leaving.

Xiang Ci hurried to the laboratory with the samples taken, and I dialed Jiang Quan's phone.

"How's it going?"

"The situation is unknown, the vanguard of the epidemic people has not entered our range, analyzing their movements, it may be reconnaissance!" Jiang Quan said.

Reconnoiter? Scouting what? As long as they enter the city, Gejia will naturally take the initiative to avoid it, and there is no possibility of a conflict, so why reconnoitre? Could it be that something has changed, and the plague man is preparing to fight Gega? What happened? Has Gega adapted to the plague or has the plague mutated again?

No way! Thinking about the fact that the plague people had managed to isolate Gega outside the city for months, I knew that my thinking had gone wrong. I asked again, "What is the situation in the epidemic department?" ”

While I was thinking, Jiang Quan kept waiting, and immediately replied when he heard my question: "The epidemic people have completed the encirclement again, but the number of people in different directions has been changing, and the purpose is unknown!" ”

"The General Staff stepped up its time study and came to a conclusion as soon as possible." I commanded and hung up the phone.

The situation is very strange now, according to the plan I have learned, all the plague people have to do now is to open the gap and enter the city to drive away Gega, and now they have completed the siege, what does this mean? Did they mean that they were going to force Gega to die in the city?

Liu Shidong kept paying attention to me, saw that I hung up the phone, and asked, "What's changed?" ”

I briefly told Jiang Quan what he had told me, Liu Shishi listened very carefully, and sighed, "Brother An, we have a big trouble this time!" ”

I was stunned for a moment, what did you say? What is the big problem?

Liu Dongxi didn't understand me, so he pulled me to sit down, "Brother An, as I said before, this plague person has no other strengths, they only have two weapons, one is their own infectiousness, and the other is Gega. Of the two, only Gega is deadly. ”

I nodded and didn't speak, pondering Liu Shi's words attentively.

"Their use of Gega was very successful in the past, consuming most of our army and forcing everyone into this rat hole. The next thing to do is to pour water into the rat hole. Judging from what you said, they don't want to do it themselves, they still want to use Gega! ”

My heart moved, and I understood what he meant. The plague people knew that it would be difficult to break through the defenses of the underground fortifications on their own, so they had to drive Gega to do this. Although Gega is now intimidated by the power of laser defense, once the plague people surround them and press forward step by step, they will definitely rush to the entrance of the underground fortifications desperately! This seal is really vicious!

Liu Dongxi observed the words and knew that I had figured it out, "The dog jumped over the wall when he was in a hurry, let alone Gejia." Brother An, in your opinion, if this Gega is going to start attacking, what are our chances of winning? ”

What are the odds? Not at all! I didn't answer him, and hurriedly called Jiang Quan.

"Chief, the General Staff has just concluded that the plague people may be trying to force Gega to storm the underground fortifications!" Jiang Quan didn't wait for me to speak before he came to a conclusion.

"I also just thought, what countermeasures does the staff have?" I asked.

"At present, the General Staff has proposed two plans!" Jiang Quan may also be a little nervous, and said quickly, "One plan is to abandon all the above-ground parts, blow up the closed entrance, and take engineering means to strengthen and narrow all the ventilation pipe openings." The other plan is to hammer out a gap in the encirclement of the plague people at all costs and help Gega get out! ”

I noticed that Jiang Quan used the word "help" in the second plan, and a very strange feeling welled up in my heart. Are the once-undying humans and Gega going to help each other?

"Has the feasibility study of the plan been studied?" I asked.

"Now the number of heavy weapons is seriously insufficient, due to the special deterrent power of the epidemic people against Gega, the second plan is not very feasible, once it fails, we will lose all resistance capabilities, and we will fall into an absolute disadvantage in the follow-up battle against the epidemic people." Jiang Quan took a breath, "The effect of the first plan is not easy to evaluate, but it is relatively safe, and we are all inclined to the first plan!" ”

I thought about it quickly, although the two plans have their own advantages and disadvantages, they are both ways for a strong man to break his wrist, both seem to be unfeasible, but both are feasible, I don't know if they can be combined.

"Jiang Quan, everything is speculation now, and I can't make a conclusion yet. I suggest that, on the one hand, after the plague man enters the firing range, choose the weak point of the plague man and use the laser to attack at the commanding height, and strive to make a gap. On the other hand, the renovation of the ventilation pipe mouth was immediately started, and the entrance was ready to be blown up at any time. ”

Jiang Quan hesitated for a moment and agreed.

"How's the connection with the plague people?" I asked.

"Still refuse to contact!"

"Organize negotiators, come up with a plan, and call out when the epidemic people are approaching. The problem is not unsolvable, we must show full sincerity! ”

"Yes!" Jiang Quan agreed and hung up the phone.

I put down the phone, looked at Liu Dongshi and smiled bitterly: "I really made you right, why is there a big trouble now!" ”

Liu Shixi smiled and said: "It's so troublesome, yesterday that Willows found me and said that he had arranged the plane, which was in Erli's place, and if we needed to, we could evacuate at any time!" ”

I was stunned for a moment, but I didn't expect that Zhang really had this plan, shook his head and said: "The matter has reached this point, I can't leave if it can't be solved, if I really want to die, I'll die here." ”

Liu was obviously surprised by my reaction, "Are you crazy?" Want to die with them? Don't think I can't understand these things, it's completely their own fault to get to this point, it's none of your business, why are you doing this? Even if you don't think about yourself, think about Xiao Kan! ”

I nodded, "Of course I thought about it, and I knew it wasn't my business. But being a man always has to talk about some responsibility, all of them put their hopes on me, let me leave them and go on my own, I can't do it! ”

"Neurotic! Who has put their hope in you? Chang Cheng died, Li Er ran away, Wei Lushi ran away immediately, and Xiang Ci was a fool. Who cares about you but us? Liu jumped up and pointed to my nose and said.

"Maybe I care!" I sighed, depressed to the extreme, gently brushed his hand away, walked to the door and turned back and said, "You are all packed up and ready to go at any time, I will go to Xiangci to have a look." ”

"Clean up the! If you don't leave, no one is fucking allowed to leave......"

I closed the door, not hearing what he was saying, my eyes were a little damp, and I felt like I was blinded by something in this windless underground.

The road was full of victims, piled together, some people were distributing supplies to them, talking about something, and many of the epidemic people were mixed with them shirtless. I stopped halfway through, saying things like uniting to get through the difficulties, and many people also said that they would obey the unified command and put aside their prejudices to win.

This is the mission I took with me when I first entered the city, and although it only affected a small number of people, it was finally completed. It's just that the biggest contradiction at the beginning has intensified to the point of life and death. The key to whether this unity is short-lived or can be maintained is still on us.

Xiang Ci's laboratory was busy, and when he saw me coming, Xiang Ci happily pointed to a screen and said to me: "Si'an, you see, the analysis results of the sample show that the bottleneck we are facing is about to be opened, as I expected, in another three hours, the first core will be manufactured, and we will succeed soon!" ”

"It takes three hours? I'm afraid there's not enough time! ”

"How?" Xiang Ci noticed my heaviness.

"Now the situation is critical, the epidemic people want to use Gega to attack our fortification entrance, and the defense of the troops is inadequate, I'm afraid it won't last for three hours!"

When Xiang Ci heard me say this, the joy on his face instantly erased.

It is clear from the fact that negotiations are ultimately based on reciprocity of power and the exchange of interests. The weapon we have against the Gega has neither a deterrent nor a use value against the plague people, and when this weapon is developed, our strength may have been exhausted by the Gega, and we have lost the power equivalence needed to negotiate with the plague people, and the negotiation will be impossible.

The best time to negotiate is now, but we seem doomed to lose it.

"Si'an, I've worked hard for you this time." Xiang Ci looked at the complex three-dimensional images and numbers on the screen, and said expressionlessly.

"Huh?" I don't know what she means.

"If the situation is doomed to be irretrievable, you can go. I know that Virus Zhang has the plane ready, and when you leave, we will blow up all the exits. Xiang Ci said.

I didn't expect her to even know this, and I didn't know what to say for a while.

"But I have one last thing." She turned around suddenly and grabbed my hand, "This weapon has poured the efforts of countless people, in the previous research, countless people and plague people were willing to dedicate themselves to doing ** research in order to achieve the goal of mankind, and countless people paid their lives to capture Gega for experiments, it is the hope of everyone." I hope you will stay a little longer, wait for it to be born, and don't let it be buried in this ruin. ”

Xiang Ci's hands were trembling, and the noisy voices around me and the sound of instruments running were intertwined in my ears into a magnificent epic, witnessing the moment of human transformation. I felt my eyes start to blur again, and I had mixed feelings that I couldn't put into words.
