Mentor C0N009 also died in a car accident.

He had been living in isolation in that secret base for five years, and was suddenly approached by the director to talk to him and give him a chance to visit his family.

He didn't belong to the military in the first place, he was a university professor, and he had his beloved wife and a pair of children outside the secret base, after getting the news, he immediately agreed, Xing Chongchong packed a few things, explained some work precautions to Masao Yamamoto, and got into a military vehicle and left the base.

Five days later, the director of the secret base called Masao Yamamoto again.

With a sad face, the director patted Masao Yamamoto on the shoulder and solemnly shoved a newspaper into his hand.

When Yamamoto unfolded his look, he was surprised to see a surprising line of headlines - the professor who had been missing for five years finally appeared, but it was at the scene of a car accident where everyone died.

Masao Yamamoto gritted his teeth and tried to suppress the shock and grief in his heart.

These days, this mentor is like a brother and a father to him, although he treats people lightly, he is full of kindness and sincerity, and it is an extremely rare human warmth for Masao Yamamoto, who has grown up in loneliness and depression for more than ten years.

Masao Yamamoto was red-eyed, and listened to the director's insincere words in despair, he first sighed at the misfortune of C0N009, and after a few words, he began to compliment Masao Yamamoto's talent and knowledge, just a few minutes, he changed his face, and congratulated him with a smile, successfully succeeded to the position of mentor, and tried his best to win over and buy.

However, in the eyes of Masao Yamamoto, all this made him feel very disgusting. Because before the mentor left, in addition to telling him to work, he also said with sadness: "I hope they can really give me this opportunity to see my wife and children, even if it is a glance." ”

"What? Isn't this the time the teacher was allowed to go home to visit his family? Puzzled, Yamamoto asked.

The mentor shook his head helplessly: "Do you remember the person in charge I mentioned to you, the compassionate Buddha, the one who fought against paranoia?"

"The one who got into the car accident?" Yamamoto was surprised, he didn't understand why the mentor mentioned him at this time, the man who died more than ten years ago.

"Yes, hehe," the tutor smiled wryly, his eyes full of sorrow, "that's my teacher." ”

C0N009 didn't say anything more, and turned around and walked out of the lab.

As smart as Masao Yamamoto had already guessed the meaning of his mentor's words, he was murdered by them.

Masao Yamamoto once again closed his heart, but after he actually became the person in charge of the project, Masao Yamamoto found that the research of this project had entered a bottleneck period that was difficult to break.

The military department suspected that the mentor C0N009 was deliberately slowing down the progress, and the mentor was unwilling to argue with the martial artists, so he attracted the murderous opportunity.

Series 3, research by Masao Yamamoto

At this time, Masao Yamamoto had not yet shown obvious political leanings, and for a beginner, he preferred to make achievements in his professional field, and in this place where biology, virology, and genetics were gathered, and his eyes were full of top-notch research equipment and vast research materials, Masao Yamamoto was immediately attracted to it, and soon withdrew from the incident of his mentor being murdered by the military department, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to research.

Masao Yamamoto found that in the past few years, researchers who had initially been exposed to virus samples have been infected and died, and the real virus samples have been sealed, and for about a year or so, Yamamoto has only seen that sample once, led by C0N009.

It was kept in a special room in a storage room more than 100 meters underground, and only that one sample of the virus was kept in that room. The whole room has six thick doors made of different materials such as stainless steel, glass, ceramic, lead and tin alloy.

The heavy access control is not so much to prevent virus samples from being stolen – but to prevent those viruses from escaping.

The vector and path of transmission of this virus have not been thoroughly studied, so it is impossible to determine which material can completely isolate the spread of this virus.

Not only are the virus samples stored confidential, but even researchers can only wear thick isolation gowns and keep a distance of more than five meters to observe with telescopes.

In fact, after a large number of researchers died of the virus, the military top brass agreed to stop studying the virus samples.

Experiments on the virus in the secret base mainly start from the corpses of infected people, and the existence of the virus cannot be found in those corpses, so it is natural that substantial progress cannot be made in such a research model.

Masao Yamamoto spent more than half a year getting acquainted with the research results of his predecessors and formed some of his own opinions and conjectures, so he asked the military superintendent that direct research on virus samples must be restarted, otherwise substantial progress will never be made, and no amount of manpower and financial resources will be wasted.

Naturally, the military department will not ignore Masao Yamamoto's request - this is an obvious truth, even a soldier who has no insight into biology and virology can understand it, and if he does not directly study those viruses, of course, there will be no correct results.

The only obstacle is how to start studying virus samples?

It's not a question of whether the researcher has the courage and courage, whether the decision-maker wants to or not, but also money, manpower, and so on.

The problem is that before that, people have invested a lot of human and financial resources in studying the infection path and vector of this virus, and what materials can effectively isolate its transmission. None of the results were ideal.

There was once a researcher who wore a special plastic suit made of rubber and other materials, tightly wrapped from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, leaving only his nostrils connected to a gas mask, and finally isolated a milligram of virus sample from that sample.

It was a great encouragement, but three months later, the researcher, along with his two assistants, was infected and died.

It is speculated that this is a highly active virus, and they can even attach to airborne dust to spread, and even they can isolate tiny individuals themselves, float in the air, and enter the human air system - even those anti-virus areas cannot fully feel them.

Masao Yamamoto also made a special study of the plastic isolation gown and a special laboratory left by the senior, and found that his approach was indeed meritorious, and the problem was likely to lie in the process of taking and cultivating virus samples, and with the equipment at the time, it was still impossible to completely isolate the virus from the outside world.

Masao Yamamoto checked the data and found that they extracted and cultivated viruses in the laboratory, and then put them back in the underground storage room after completing the relevant actions, and when they were not experimenting on virus samples, they relaxed their vigilance in the laboratory, and no longer wore those bulky isolation equipment - after all, those equipment were put on their bodies, it was really uncomfortable - and this really killed them, the viruses that floated in the air in the laboratory, killed them.

Masao Yamamoto put forward his own suggestions to the director, first of all, he affirmed the practice of his predecessors, since there is a three-month safety period, it shows that his approach has a certain effect, but it needs to be strengthened.

And he, Masao Yamamoto hopes to get a chance to study, at present, the personnel and equipment in the base are already the top in Japan, and there is no hope for Japan to find a solution to the problem, so he can only go to Europe and the United States to study and look for some possibilities there.

This request directly contributed to Masao Yamamoto's life journey as a spy.
