12. Countdown

Oftum-482 is often referred to Sector C7 with 236 instances of various districts and experiment-related applications. The response from the C7 area has also been swift. However, there has been an accident recently.

All test schedules scheduled for June 22 to the end of the month were inexplicably cancelled. A few days later, news spread from C7.

Someone is stuck in 482.

……

July 16th

Outside the 13th containment room, Zhang Qing observed Wang Yao lying on 482 through the camera in front of the console.

The empty containment chamber had a lot of extra equipment, connected to all parts of Wang Yao's body. It was a device used to observe his physical condition and maintain his physical functions.

Wang Yao kept his breathing steady, like a sleeping person. In fact, he was asleep, but for a long time. Compared with him, Zhang Qing, who was here day and night, looked much haggard. She felt guilty that it was his responsibility that Wang Yao would do this.

Since Wang Yao was trapped in 482 on June 22 for more than 20 days, all of Zhang Qing's work has become waiting outside the 13th Containment Chamber, which is the duty of a facilitator.

Today is the twenty-fifth day of Wang Yao's sleep, a very bad day. Because today we are going to enter 236.

16:32

Enter the countdown: 33 minutes.

"Zhang Qing." He Ying, who was wearing a white coat, walked into the control room, today she did not wear makeup and wore black-rimmed glasses. The hair is neatly tied in the back of the head and the ponytail. This makes her a little less charming and a little more elegant and capable.

"Deputy Team Leader He." Zhang Qing stood up and said with a somewhat shaky and far-fetched smile.

He Yingxiu frowned slightly, but she was helpless. Zhang Qing is this stubborn character, and no one will listen to persuasion.

"Hasn't he woken up yet?"

"Nope." Zhang Qing shook her head. "It's less than half an hour before we get into 482, what are we going to do?"

"The exclusive group of researchers and doctors from 482 and 236 are having a video conference." He Ying said: "The bottom line is 15 minutes. If he doesn't wake up again, he will have to be forcibly separated from 482. ”

"It's all my fault......," Zhang Qing blamed herself. Being a helper for someone with special abilities for the first time made her a little excited, and she didn't think about the stakes.

"I can't blame you, I can only say that this kid's life is not good." He Ying looked at the scene on the monitor. "Just let him catch up with Aunt 482. The 03 committee group has responded by temporarily halting any trials related to SCP-482 indefinitely.

"Deputy Team Leader." On the side, the observation staff suddenly pointed to the screen and exclaimed.

"He seems to be awake!"

……

The pupils that had lost focus gradually condensed, and everything in the line of sight blurred and became clear.

He couldn't tell the difference between reality and dreams. But he knew that here was the reality, and he was back.

Wang Yao wanted to raise his arm, but his wrist was restrained by the infusion needle.

Sideways pulling off the infusion needle on his wrist, Wang Yao, who lost his balance, fell to the ground with a thud. I don't know if it was an auditory hallucinations or what, but in a trance, Wang Yao heard a chuckle.

I wanted to get up, but my bones seemed to be rusty, and I made an overwhelming crunching sound, and there was no place on my body that was not sore and numb. It's extremely difficult to even turn your head.

Is 482 a side effect? Or did I lie down too long. Wang Yao, whose face was on the cold ground, muttered in his heart. Unlike his bad body, his consciousness is sober, and he can't be more awake when he is awake. He knew that the amount of time he spent asleep was not a small amount. Then rushed in and helped him up, He Ying, Zhang Qing and the staff told him the specific number.

Twenty-five days.

Wang Yao was excited, struggling to stand up: "So I'm going to enter the movie today?!" ”

"13 minutes to go." He Ying glanced at the time. "It takes 5 or 6 minutes to get to the safe house from here. Enough is enough. Other times on the road. Then, without waiting for Wang Yao's reaction, he carried Wang Yao on his back.

Zhang Qing wanted to keep up, but He Ying refused.

"You go to Conference Room 5 to inform them. Then go to the back office team to get the equipment and meet in the safe house. ”

Wang Yao's ears on He Ying's back stood up.

Room 5?

"The fifth conference room...... What is it? ”

"You have a lot of questions." He Ying said impatiently, but still explained to him: "The place where important meetings and discussions are held in C7 area. It is divided into 1 to 5 meeting rooms according to their importance. The level is from high to low. ”

"So...... Do we have a place called Rayy State? ”

"Deputy Head of the Disaster Management Office."

Wang Yao, who felt that things were becoming more and more confusing, asked if there was any news about the explosion of the fuel tanker truck recently. To his relief, there was no news about it.

What exactly is 482 based on to create dreams? Lei Yizhou and the conference room were obviously real products, and he didn't know it, but they all appeared in a dream......

In the aisle, the staff who passed by paid attention to the salute. A woman carrying a man on her back is extremely strange no matter how you look at it. And the woman is also the deputy head of the external office.

"I'll do it myself......" The soreness subsided, and Wang Yao, who had eased up, jumped down. Staggered and stood. Although it feels good, it is somewhat awkward to lie on a woman's back.

Following He Ying with staggering steps, Wang Yao thanked him: "Thank you." ”

Wang Yao wanted to go by himself, and He Ying naturally wouldn't force it: "Don't be busy saying thanks, I did this for a purpose." ”

"What purpose."

"Pull you into our external office." He Ying said, walking into a dead end where no one is. Wang Yao was stunned for a moment and followed.

"Remember the order." At the end, He Ying said. The soft and boneless jade fingers tapped a few times all over the metal wall,

Amazingly, the wall in front of me suddenly moved to one side, revealing an elevator.

Entering the elevator, He Ying pressed the No. 1 button, and the wall slowly closed. There was a sense of weightlessness, and the elevator began to move downward.

"The stakes of both departments. The Disaster Management Office, which specializes in dealing with all kinds of special disaster accidents, has the highest fatality rate, and there are casualties in almost every operation. With your ability here, your strength will increase extremely quickly, and when you enter 236, you may be able to survive with ease. The problem is, you may not live to the day you enter 236.

"The External Office, is ofTum's intelligence and investigation department. Generally, it is to collect external intelligence, find suspected ofTum instances to investigate, set a hazard level and send it to the 03 committee dispatch department to be contained. It's dangerous, but it's much smaller than the Disaster Office, and it's slower to improve than the Disaster Office, but it's safe. ”

"Do you want to choose now?"

"Of course not, it will be troublesome if you die after you choose the department."

He Ying's words are hard to hear, but they are the truth. There is too much uncertainty. If you're lucky, you might end up in a low-risk or pure zombie movie. With the advantage that his T-virus infected body can be immune to the virus, the zombie is nothing more than a stupid person with a little more strength and no brains.

I was a little unlucky, and I threw it directly into a movie like Starship Troopers alien Transformers Sadako. Even if Spider-Man comes, he can't hold on.

Ding――

The elevator stops, there is a corridor in front of it, and another cul-de-sac at the end.

"This is a special safe house. One of the safest places in the C7 area, there is none. He Ying walked in front, grabbed Wang Yao's hand and pressed the wall at the end for a few seconds, and the heavy metal wall opened to one side.

"Each site comes standard with five special safe houses. Special security is higher than that of ordinary safe houses. For those of your calibre. ”

"Located 280 metres underground, it is surrounded by 1 metre thick concrete and 100mm steel-knotted cemented carbide. It can resist the attack of a nuclear bomb with a yield of 2000 tons ** on the ground. Safe houses are built on non-seismic zones, but even geological changes such as earthquakes are difficult to cause damage. Everyday supplies are stored here for daily supplies in the event of a loss of connection to the outside world. And it has its own circulatory system, which is enough for one person to last for two months. ”

"The safe house is equipped with a location device as standard, and the search for the missing safe house is a top priority for each base. If one day it happens, you will be trapped in a safe house for months without rescue. ”

"Then it must be the end of the world."

"This is your safe house, and as long as you're alive, it's always yours."

This is a room of more than ten square meters, with a single bed in the corner and piles of materials on the other side. There is a camera in the corner. There is no entertainment in the room, and the color is pure white. It looks very monotonous and boring. It's hell for people with a phobia of autism.

"It's 17 o'clock and there's five minutes left. Between 16 and 18 o'clock on the diameter of your entry time, a total of five other oftum236 instances entered. That is, you will meet some, or all of them, in this world. ”

"They're all ordinary people. The specific information is a personal ** issue, and we do not have the right to view it. ”

Zhang Qing rushed over, handed a backpack to Wang Yao, and transferred a copy of the data to Wang Yao's watch.

Behind the spirit of strong pretending is a tired and tired face, He Ying said for Zhang Qing: "There are 10,000 dollars and a pound of gold in the backpack, a small invasion terminal. The money could be used for any period of time after 1926. As for the use of gold, you don't understand. The hacking terminal records the historical vulnerabilities of various banks, which can be exploited to obtain large amounts of money. ”

"On top of that, the intrusion terminal sends a string of codes to the intelligence services of each country. Find out if there will be a "non-disposable world", and you'll know when the time comes.

"When you get into 236, the first thing you have to do is determine which movie you're in. The watch stores all the films that have been shown since 1930. Even if you don't know what movie world this is, you can find it out by typing in some keywords. ”

"In addition, when you use your watch to determine where you are, it will tell you some scientific and technological information about the current world. To a greater or lesser extent, these scientific and technological materials will bring new developments to human civilization. For example, various technologies in the future world. However, since SCP-236 does not have this trait with all objects, all you can use is your own memory. ”

"When these memories are brought back, there will be a panel of experts to determine the value of the technology and assign you contribution points."

"However, these technology-related materials are difficult to obtain, so we have to do what we can. You are a carrier of the T virus, and even if you don't do anything, you will have a steady stream of contribution points in your account. You're a treasure trove for the scientists in the lab. ”

"Most importantly, beware of everyone, including companions. Because of our intervention, there is less fighting between individuals. But when faced with huge benefits, it can be nothing. Just like the serum in Resident Evil, the spider that bites Parker in Spider-Man. No one can resist this superpower. ”

"Also, after the day and night research of those people in the laboratory, your genetic aspects have been deciphered, and when you come out this time, the relevant modification plan will also be activated. In addition to the grinding between life and death will allow you to improve your strength, the Licker's trait allows you to have an evolutionary effect when you ingest the DNA of other creatures. The evolutionary and unknown genes that have been sorted out are now included in your watch. ”

"You have to follow the watch very closely, because if you ingest an unknown sex gene, it will lead to terrible consequences that no one will know. Maybe evolve into non-human organisms, or simply collapse because the mitochondrial genes of the cell are unable to withstand evolution. ”

"I have a question." Staring at the countdown of the lost minutes, Wang Yao hurriedly said: "Take Resident Evil 1 as an example, if I chose not to enter the hive at the beginning, or stop Alice and them from going down. Will I be judged to have cleared the game if I am out of the plot? ”

"Absolutely." He Ying gave an answer that he didn't expect. "But you have to know, what is the butterfly effect. Your presence has changed the original plot of this world. Even if you don't do anything, but having more of you will definitely produce unimaginable changes. So in this way, following the plot is the safest path. Because as an outsider, you can constantly revise the plot to prevent it from going astray. ”

"You're walking down the street, and someone looks at you curiously and almost trips. One of the callers chuckled when he saw the man nearly tripping. Someone else saw that the person almost tripped and subconsciously stopped. The person chuckling on the phone is heard on the other side of the phone and asked why he is laughing. And the man who almost tripped heard someone chuckling, perhaps in an angry quarrel, perhaps in a hurry. The person who stopped because he suddenly stopped, and the person behind him couldn't help but bypass him, but accidentally bumped into an oncoming passerby. ”

"Small changes can lead to long-term, huge responses across the system. This is the butterfly effect. ”

Time was getting tighter and shorter, and when He Ying finished explaining these things and blinked her eyes to say something, Wang Yao had already disappeared from front of her.

Silence for a few seconds.

"Deputy team leader, do you think he can come back?"

"Who knows." He Ying pushed her glasses, called up the virtual projection, and reported the results to Lin Zhan.

"I will notify the medical team to be on standby, and you and Zhang Qing should withdraw first. Great work. ”

The slowly closing security door blocked the two from leaving, and the room was as quiet and deserted as ever.
