Chapter VII: Viruses
To the naked eye, there are no entrances or exits to the exclusion zone, only that material. It looks extremely tough, translucent, with a faint blue fluorescence, which doesn't seem to be real, and has a sense of stereoscopic animation. Zhang Zhiyu couldn't take his eyes off it, staring straight at the wall of the forbidden area, his eyes couldn't focus, the entire forbidden area began to blur incomparably in the clear everything, the blue ghost light began to move inside, and the silk light chain churned and twisted, becoming more and more intense.
The world began to scream, and the universe descended into chaos.
Waterseeds.
Octopus.
"Stand up."
Layers of color and nothingness dissipate at this moment, dispersing from the center to all directions. What happened? The flawless blue in front of me was still swirling.
"Stand up."
His gaze basically stabilized, and thoughts rushed into his mind, and Zhang Zhiyu realized that he was lying on his back on the ground. He staggered to his feet, trembling and picking up the backpack stuffed with weapons, as if it had lost all its weight. Everything was still writhing slightly, and Zhang Zhiyu blinked his dry eyes desperately.
The forbidden area has not changed in the past. The world is blurry again. Zhang Zhiyu hurriedly avoided his gaze.
"Straight in." Wang Jianyu stood straight ahead, his voice standing out in the looming world.
Zhang Zhiyu came to his senses completely.
Wang Jianyu has disappeared, and the translucent building in front of him is still the same as in the past.
Walk straight in.
Zhang Zhiyu closed his eyes and walked towards the forbidden area step by step.
"Open your eyes." Wang Jianyu's voice was tinged with pity.
Zhang Zhiyu opened his eyes. He entered the massive, transparent building, inside which there was not so much blood, but it was empty. The interior is basically the same as the outside, made of this strange material, but there are some differences that Zhang Zhiyu can't notice. Is he unaffected? Zhang Zhiyu was furious, he pressed his eyelids hard, this feeling reminded him of his dream, but the dream brought not vertigo, but pain, and the corridor in front of the elevator was not made of this material. Zhang Zhiyu desperately wanted to escape in his dream, and his thoughts were roughly the same at this time, and the light here was like the light and shadow in the dream, those hallucinations. They form lethal illusions of madness.
Zhang Zhiyu ordered the picture glasses to simulate a map of the inside of the forbidden area dozens of meters away from his neighborhood, while Wang Jianyu waited patiently for him.
Zhang Zhiyu opened his eyes the moment the map was completed, and then closed them tightly. There is no hall in the restricted area, but the tunnel leading directly to the rest of the restricted area proves that this space, which is only nine cubic meters, is the hall of the restricted area.
"Follow me, grab the handrail." Wang Jianyu gently grabbed Zhang Zhiyu's hand and led him slowly towards a tunnel.
After groping up more than a dozen steps, Zhang Zhiyu stepped on the air.
"Holy!" He exclaimed, opened his eyes, and tried to grasp the handrail, but because the blue fluorescence inside the armrest kept changing, he mentally suspected that he had not caught it and slipped and was grabbed by Wang Jianyu, and he happened to see Wang Jianyu's wide and resolute eyes, almost falling. Although the distance from Zhang Zhiyu's mouth to any wall was far below the distance that could make an echo, the exclamatory words immediately began to echo through the building. The speed of change within these substances seems to accelerate with each contact of the sound waves, causing the entire building to become more densely changing, and everything rises and falls like ocean waves. Zhang Zhiyu grabbed Wang Jianyu's hand and closed his eyes, so that he didn't fall down again.
"Don't talk, communicate with glasses." Wang Jianyu's words came through the magnetic connection between the viewing glasses and the auditory nerve, "Turn on that fucking speech system." “
Zhang Zhiyu opened his eyes and found that the waves were slowly subsiding. He slowly stood up and turned on the communication system in the system.
"Why the aren't you dizzy?" Zhang Zhiyu asked in the voice system.
"so much!" Wang Jianyu also shot back in the voice system, ", don't ask if you don't understand!" Labor and management have already wasted three minutes by you. “
"What an attitude!" Zhang Zhiyu expressed dissatisfaction.
"The jogging platform is coming, open your eyes and take a look, the province will step on the air and fall, and I will have to struggle." Wang Jianyu stopped and said with pity. Pity and sympathy are completely two sides, and the synonym for pity is mockery.
Zhang Zhiyu struggled to suppress the burning anger, he finally came to the jogging platform, Wang Jianyu let go of his hand, Zhang Zhiyu briefly opened his eyes to check the map, and then he leaned against the wall next to him and rested with relief.
"How can you not be affected by this damn material in the slightest!" Zhang Zhiyu opened his eyes temporarily, staring at Wang Jianyu to prevent the forbidden area from having too much impact on him, he began to sweat, he could feel the blood vessels in his head beating violently, Zhang Zhiyu asked as if he was out of breath.
Wang Jianyu shrugged noncommittally, and he took down his rifle. "I have a friend." Wang Jianyu didn't even look at Zhang Zhiyu, he turned his back to him and opened the door that didn't exist for Zhang Zhiyu.
"Don't talk nonsense." Zhang Zhiyu thought.
"I hear you!" Wang Jianyu's voice came from his glasses, with a snickering tone.
Did you say that yourself? Did Wang Jianyu really say that? How did he hear that? Did you hear it?
"Hey," a voice came from somewhere upstairs, "there are about three to six mutants behind the door, don't go in, I hope you haven't opened it." The sound did not elicit any strange reaction from the material. Wang Jianyu quickly turned around and drew his weapon, perfectly aiming at the true source of the sound.
Watching Wang Jianyu quickly make a series of movements, the details of each action caused more chaos in his brain to splash more waves, and each ripple affected each other, although Zhang Zhiyu opened his eyes wide, he couldn't understand the overly distorted chaotic picture he saw in front of him. Everything spins like a whirlpool. Unable to move his body, the fingers that had drawn his weapon gradually loosened, and the weapon fell to the ground. Jang Zhiyu fell to his knees uncontrollably.
"Gross!" He vomited a large pool of half-mushy vomit.
"Bring this with you, or you'll all die sooner or later." Wang Kunzhi watched as one of the men in front of him was vomiting everything in his stomach pouch until the vomit showed a distinct bright red color. He flashed the two imaging glasses in his hand.
Wang Jianyu helped Zhang Zhiyu connect the new glasses to the original imaging eye, and the two glasses were spliced together, and the system was connected to each other. Wang Jianyu returned the other one to another person.
"Oh," the man smiled back, "and how come I never saw you?" He asked.
"This is an invisible vision lens made of my friend's cornea." Wang Jianyu replied, and he patted the person on the shoulder, meaning to take them away quickly.
"Ahh The man didn't seem to know how to reply, just said an interjection, which seemed particularly embarrassing. After a few seconds, he remembered how to break this situation, "Call me No. 4, phew, call me Wang Kunzhi." The man said his code name as a researcher, and then he realized that the two people in front of him were not researchers who were going to rot here, but living people from the outside world.
"Okay, Wang Kunzhi, do you have a weapon?" While going upstairs, Wang Jianyu asked Wang Kunzhi.
"Wait, how did you get rid of this horrible fainting?" Zhang Zhiyu had already opened his eyes, but he was still far behind, panting. Again, he felt his internal organs churn like knives.
"Ah, that's right," Wang Kunzhi didn't stop, and continued to walk up, "You have to think for yourself, you can do whatever you want." ”
"Really!" Zhang Zhiyu smiled bitterly and said, "It's amazing." He closed his eyes, trying to imagine that it wasn't made of these damn materials, but of ordinary metal. He snapped open his eyes and found that the materials were gone, replaced by the steampunk style that Jang had in his head.
"Interesting." He muttered to himself, once again imagining that everything in front of him was ordinary metal and concrete.
Zhang Zhiyu quickly caught up with the two people in front of him, and at the same time, a laser cutter for scientific research that could be used as a weapon emitted a point laser that was inserted straight into Zhang Zhiyu's previous position. When the shot was missed, Zhang Zhiyu heard an angry roar. Then, the zombie slammed the heavy metal door shut. As for the part of the matter that the laser hits, there is no change.
"Bag." Wang Kunzhi on the top laughed, sounding a little cute. Wang Jianyu also laughed, laughing exaggeratedly and loudly. Although Zhang Zhiyu didn't know where the laughter was, out of politeness, he also smiled, but he just moved his lips and didn't laugh out of a sound.
A few minutes later, the two entered the room where Wang Kunzhi lived. There was a seaside summer villa under that eerie glasses. Measuring more than 200 square meters and made up of elegant real wood, the sofa is a leather sofa and a 3-meter-wide fish tank that sits on an old-fashioned shoe cabinet. Outside the simulated 5-meter-wide floor-to-ceiling windows, there is the sea and the blue sky. It is basically impossible to see the real sea and sky with such pure blue. The villa district can be considered an aristocratic district, and the remaining countries of the Third World War have similar establishments. The blue sky that exists in the "aristocratic district" is forcibly fabricated and not real at all. It's like a cocktail, with blue skies at the bottom. A little further up, the air pollution is getting darker and darker. The sea, because of excessive pollution, in 2041, has a deadly substance and is no longer suitable for humans, both recreational and economic, and people are beginning to stay away from the sea. The invention of large flying machines, the development of industrial civilization is getting better and better, and the three wars have pushed the last handful of the end of the ocean, and the sea water is completely deadly to human beings. Humans began to move away from the sea. Glaciers melt and deadly waters burst through dams and gush towards the city. The government officially announced the abandonment of the coastal cities, and in order to force some of the people to leave the sea completely, the government officially activated the army.
Slaughter.
"God knows, maybe the pure sea is still somewhere, but if you want the sky, and now there is one out there, the devil knows what the principle is." Zhang Zhiyu lay on the sofa with a big grin, lazily buttoning the blood left in his nails.
"Really?" Wang Kunzhi seemed confused, "It seems that the power of the virus is much stronger than we imagined. ”
"What," Wang Jianyu pulled out his pistol on the side and aimed it at Wang Kunzhi's head, "to be clear." Otherwise, the clown will use his little pistol to smash the little chrysanthemum of the little bastard Wang Kunzhi. His voice was still lighthearted, but full of murderous intent, indicating that it was no joke.
"Wait," Wang Kunzhi was startled, he raised his hands to himself, "Okay, I'll explain." He slowly turned to face Wang Jianyu and set his wine glass aside.
Zhang Zhiyu finally noticed the muzzle of the black hole.
Two metal robots emerge from the walls that were supposed to be integrated with them, fully armed, looking a lot like the t_450 models from the classic old film "Terminator" series from more than 200 years ago, with layers of metal wrapped under metal skeletons.
Zhang Zhiyu remained silent and finally touched his weapon. He grabbed it sharply, aimed it at the machine soldier, and slowly retreated to Wang Jianyu's side, ready to engage at any moment.
Wang Jianyu grabbed Wang Kunzhi in an instant, choked his neck, and pointed the pistol at the weakest bone in Wang Kunzhi's temple.
Wang Kunzhi struggled under Wang Jianyu's arm and said in an angry tone: "Believe me, if I wanted to, you two would have died a long time ago." I'm sure you're not as fast as these two robots, let go! His features twisted together, hoarse to the latter, his muscles trembling violently.
Zhang Zhiyu instinctively took a few steps back, and the muzzle of the gun was still aimed at Wang Kunzhi's chest.
Wang Jianyu rolled his eyes and let go of his arm. But he still aimed his gun at Wang Kunzhi's head. Zhang Zhiyu also did not heed Wang Kunzhi's threats. Wang Kunzhi stumbled and collapsed on the sofa, the robot did not return to its position, but it did not shoot either, quietly like two statues.
"You know what? Labor and management may have lived in this diamond cage since childhood, and they can't communicate with you, right? There is a generation gap! ! I kind of admire the Terminator, which is the same for all models, and has a kind of steampunk feel. Also, they're definitely not as useless as they are in the movies! So, lay down your arms, or I'll kill you both!" Wang Kunzhi's face was flushed, and he danced to describe what he wanted to express.
Wang Jianyu took a step closer, and the weapon in his hand tightened, always staying in a straight line where the bullet could just pierce Wang Kunzhi's skull.
Zhang Zhiyu skimmed Wang Jianyu, and the muzzle of the gun trembled slightly unconsciously.
"Immediately!" Wang Kunzhi yelled, "Right away! His limbs twitched unconsciously and motioned back and forth in the air.
A suffocating few seconds.
Wang Jianyu raised his hands, but his thumb was still on the trigger. He slowly crouched down, his lips pursed. Zhang Zhiyu let go of his hands, and the rifle fell to the ground with a clatter.
Wang Jianyu's left hand quietly touched his lower back, and his right hand barely touched part of the gun to the ground.
"Hey, are you being a fool for me, you're all * on your belt!" Wang Kunzhi pointed at Wang Jianyu, "Put them down slowly." Slow down, slow down ......". Wang Jianyu untied the belt with the voice and put it down gently.
The two robots returned to their positions as agreed, and disappeared into the wall.
"You can come here." Wang Kunzhi finally regained his composure, and his thin chest fell together.
In the next 10 minutes or so, Wang Kunzhi roughly described the principle and purpose of the "virus" in an abnormal word order, and he half-squinted his eyes, intoxicated and reluctantly told all this.
"Virus" is more precisely an electromagnetic wave, which is simply described as "light". It stimulates cells to mutate radically in a matter of minutes.
The government entered the exclusion zone more than a decade ago, and officials made a simple, swift but heart-wrenching speech that "viruses" could save humanity.
"Virus" is not a virus, it is just a concept.
In the form of holograms, all personnel heard the government's orders.
In the forbidden area, nearly 10,000 scientific researchers have been working hard to create the "virus" since then. The basic method of creating it was in the system long before the Restricted Zone personnel became conscious.
They just need to be perfected.
Over the years, they discovered that "viruses" can not only transform "perfect" lifeforms, but also change the composition of most atoms, causing the elements to be swapped at will, creating absurd facts.
"Viruses" can turn dirt into gold.
This was the supreme wish of the navigators of BC.
"Viruses" can transform ruined cities.
This was the highest wish of the refugees after World War II in 1200.
"Viruses" can immortalize people.
This is the supreme aspiration of humanity after 2024.
About 4 weeks ago, it worked.
The day after the success, all records were deleted and all scientific findings were lost. There were no more new instructions, and the exclusion zone worked as usual, but no one left, no one continued the experiment. Everything was reduced to ashes, but everything was the same.
Three days ago, the weapons of the army were aimed at themselves, and all * launchers simultaneously launched * carrying the "virus" at 24 o'clock sharp.
After Wang Kunzhi finished saying all this, he took a big sip of the beer he had just taken out. The only thing he didn't tell those two men was that he was the main creator of the virus. The self-number is the ranking of one's contribution in this study. As for the first few, Wang Kunzhi has never seen them in his life, let alone scientific research. He began to have a faint worry that he had never felt before.
Wang Kunzhi swallowed a large sip of beer again.
