Gaiden: Judgment Day (4)
Able stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching Maxwell's motorcade leave the safe zone, the door slowly closing behind them.
Abraham Tang is only thirty-two years old this year, and Maxwell is forty-six years old, the latter is a full round older than the former, a scientist and a professional soldier, two people who are completely different in terms of life experience and living habits, it is hard to imagine any intersection between them.
It stands to reason that a genius technician like Abraham should look down on the rude warrior, who is a top student at MIT, a top expert in artificial intelligence, and can't play with a reckless man who only solves problems with violence, in fact...... Abel did look down on these warriors, and the reason why Maxwell was able to become friends with Abraham was because he saved the life of the latter.
Three years ago, that is, the year when the apocalyptic virus had just broken out, Abel was at the center of the entire epidemic, the Beijing headquarters of the Gene Plasmid Group, at that time, he was just starting out, and he was conducting preliminary demonstration of the feasibility of the Omega plan, everything was in order, Beijing was still a world-class international metropolis, Gene Plasmid was still the world's largest multinational group, and even just completed the acquisition of Johnson & Johnson in the United States.
Then the apocalyptic virus crisis broke out without warning, the headquarters of Gene Plasmid was the starting point and center of the epidemic, and the employees of the company were the first to be infected, because the people were defenseless, the virus spread wildly, the number of infected people increased sharply, and Abraham Tang was involved in an unprecedented disaster.
It took three days from the first infected person to the government's response and warning, during which the infected person was admitted to the hospital, medical experts were still trying to figure out what caused the zombie symptoms, and the existing medicine could not explain what could cause a person to become bitten on sight, and just when doctors met to discuss the pathogenesis of the apocalyptic virus, the epidemic began to bloom everywhere and soon became completely out of control.
The government and health departments quickly cordoned off the infected areas, and the 18th Army, which was originally stationed in the Central Theater, was urgently transferred to the capital, a mechanized force equipped with heavy weapons, the army built a defensive line with tanks and machine guns, and the government departments withdrew overnight, and declared a state of emergency throughout the country.
At the same time, a special forces unit was sent into the blockade area to investigate the situation and search for survivors, and the leader of this force was Major Maxwell Hugh Sean.
Maxwell led the team was proposed by the top management of Gene Plasmid, and the company persuaded the government that the government must send someone who is familiar with the company's internal affairs in order to successfully find and bring out the original strain of the virus, and only by finding the original strain of the virus can it be possible to develop antiviral drugs.
Maxwell's squad wore protective suits and drove infantry fighting vehicles into the epidemic area, no one knew what the situation was like in the epidemic area, they were a death squad, and they were not ready to come back alive after entering. The special forces went deep into the center of the epidemic area overnight and infiltrated the headquarters building of the gene plasmid company, which was a biochemical laboratory on the fifteenth basement floor of the headquarters building, from which the earliest doomsday viruses were transmitted.
The task of the special forces is to target the original strain of the virus, which is the earliest apocalyptic virus, and Maxwell leads the team down to the underground of the building, where he accidentally discovers the only survivor in the company building.
Abel was only one step away from death when he was found by Maxwell, he was in the laboratory under the building when the doomsday virus broke out, even Maxwell was surprised by the tenacity of this young man, Abel was just a technician, but he relied on an M9 pistol and two packs of compressed biscuits, and held out alone in the laboratory for three days. Abraham locked all the doors and windows of the lab and communicated with the outside world through an old-fashioned longwave radio.
After the outbreak of the virus, the underground laboratory completely lost contact with the ground, and the power was cut off, Abraham smashed open the display case and moved out of the radio, repaired this old artifact from the World War II period, and relied on a hand-cranked generator to provide power and send out a distress signal.
When Maxwell found Abraham, the young man was dying, exhausted and severely dehydrated.
The first thing Abel said when he met Maxwell was...... "The information, the information!" โ
Maxwell was taken aback, and he remembered this weak but tenacious technician, Abraham stored all the information and data of the Omega Project on his hard drive, and he fought until the end, not to save himself, but to keep the information.

Three years have passed since the Judgment Day crisis, human civilization is close to collapse, governments are barely functioning, but no longer have any real power, Gene Plasmid Group Inc. has become the hope of all mankind, and the safe zones they have set up around the world have become the last safe haven for survivors.
The Shanghai headquarters of the Biochemical and Chemical Drug Research Center of the Global Epidemic Prevention Program is one of the largest safety zones in the world.
As the epidemic in Beijing grows worse and Genomics Plasmid decides to evacuate its important technical team, Abraham moved to Shanghai two years ago, along with his entire Omega team, where they will complete the Omega Project and raise the fragile girl.
Abel stood in the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out, there were about 1,200 people living in the security zone, if you add more than 200 people of the defense force, then the total number would be more than 1,500, Abel vaguely remembered that this was a military academy before, the Shanghai Naval Military Academy...... Is it called that?
Abraham shook his head, he couldn't remember exactly, he didn't really care about these inconsequential things.
The institute is home to the institute, inhabited by technicians from the Gene Plasmid Company, a highly confidential and high-risk institution, and in order to prevent interference from irrelevant people, the institute was set up in the Shanghai Naval Military Academy, an enclave out of the security zone, where more ordinary people actually live in the Pudong New Area security zone on the other side of the Huangpu River.
The convoy in the distance has disappeared into the rows of buildings, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, Abel is not very worried about Maxwell, he knows the power of this man, Major Maxwell Hugh Sean is the most proficient special operations expert in the gene plasmid company, in the past few years, Maxwell's troops have cleared almost all the caves near downtown Shanghai, and the rabble in the caves is not his opponent at all.
I heard that this is the last cave, and it should be a very simple task.
In the first two years, the cave was very rampant, I didn't know how many catties and taels I had, and even dared to take the initiative to attack the security zone, but then I was pressed by Maxwell in the Huangpu River and taught a hard lesson, and now they took a detour when they heard Maxwell's name.
"Director." Someone behind him called him, "Something is wrong with the system, can you come and take a look?" โ
Abraham turned his head, "What's wrong?" What went wrong? โ
"Omega's state is a bit unstable." The other party replied, "We suspect that we have encountered some obstacle to learning, director, can you come and have a look?" โ
Abraham nodded.
"Okay, I'll go over here."
