Chapter 2: Blood and Dust
I can't feel my body at all, but I can think,
"Am I alive?"
When I opened my eyes, it was a strange, piercing ceiling, and there were people walking around and not feeling the body, and I thought that general anesthesia had been performed.
Try to turn your head, you can move, there is a thick stack of papers on the cabinet next to the bed, and the one stacked on top of it can clearly see that it is a report with the word "deceased" printed on it with a red border.
Who's dead, old orange?
I looked at the name column, and my heart suddenly cooled, and I actually saw my own name.
"Name: Haven Gender: Male Date of Birth: June 13, 2024 Cause of Death: Severely damaged brain......"
"I'm dead? No, I'm still thinking, what's going on!? β
I screamed in my heart, feeling incredulous, and began to think crankily, my brain was damaged, could it be that I was in a vegetative state, because I had no family to take care of me, and I was sentenced to death!?
Don't do that! It's better to be fucking dead, but I don't think it's right, the vegetative person should be unable to move his whole body, so he immediately comforted himself and quickly turned his head.
"Doc! Nine-two-one-zero! A high-pitched female voice sounded next to me, and 9210 was my number.
Wow, a foreigner ran over, opened my eyelids with his open hand, and kept scanning his pupils back and forth with a flashlight.
βcheckοΌ Elsewhere. β
What's going on with this Nima?
As soon as I wanted to speak, the nurse immediately held a thick needle and stabbed it hard in my arm without hesitation, and before I could feel the pain, I fainted again.
I don't know how long it took, for quite some time, the brain was in a state of extreme chaos, and it was a kind of torment.
It's like being on an extended bus route, sitting at the terminal, but the terminal is the starting point.
The depressing melody was constantly circulating on the car, and there was a bright and hazy light outside the window, and in a trance, I saw a flash of red light, and in an instant, blood poured into the car like waves......
At this moment, it was as if the soul had returned to the body, and a noisy voice slowly sounded in my head.
"It's not my fault! It's not my fault. β
Listening to the sound feels like a little girl is coquettish.
"It's not your fault, if you had solved that thing in the sea, you wouldn't have to pick up such a troublesome thing and come back. Trouble, there are a lot of things out there, and now you have to look at people, it's really troublesome! β
The woman's voice was very spicy.
"Humph! It's so easy to say, why don't you go, it's troublesome, hum, you should have gone in the first place! β
"You dare to talk back to your sister, you..."
"Alright, stop arguing."
The third person spoke.,Very magnetic male voice.,The words are very precise.,The tone is a little awkward.,Probably a foreigner.,
"It's a very valuable sample."
"Oh, I'm almost awake." The fourth voice was a little soft, but it was definitely a man, "Oh, I'm awake." β
At the same time, when I opened my eyes, it felt like a dream, and the white ceiling was still in front of me.
Where is this......
"Ah, this guy is really awake."
A small head suddenly popped up next to the bed, and the immature voice brought me back to my senses,
"Get up and take a walk."
Can you go? Trying to move his body, he sat up suddenly, looked at the people on the side, and was stunned.
The room was very bright, there was nothing but a bed, and there were six people in the room, three men and three women, all wearing special uniforms with silver, white and red edges.
One man and one woman are particularly eye-catching.
It's really tall like a mountain, this sentence is so apt to describe this man, I am close to 1.8 meters, I don't know if I just woke up, and because I am sitting on the bed, this guy is at least twice as tall.
Strong as a yak physique, his shirt is tied around his waist, revealing copper-yellow muscles full of explosive power, and short hair is stuck upside down on his head like a needle, but in great contrast to his body shape, he looks quite simple.
The man stands out because he's big, but the woman stands out.
She didn't wear a coat, the matching undershirt revealed her tender skin, white as jade, graceful figure, plus delicate cheeks, a Ji style black hair, but the tips of the hair behind the waist were more than snow, if it wasn't for the end of the world, this must be the national color and fragrance, and it would definitely make countless heroes bend their waists.
I looked at her in a daze, and after a long time, I felt a chill down my spine, what is this feeling, I can't help but know, the word murderous appeared in my mind, so sharp!
Her apricot eyes and phoenix eyes are different, dazed but with an angry and murderous aura, so cold!
Hurry up and look away, otherwise you will definitely be killed in the next second.
When I turned around, I noticed a few other people, all of whom were handsome men and pretty women, and the other two men were very young and handsome.
One of them, with his long hair tied back into a braid, only two bunches hanging down his temples, and a half-race face, laughed a little bewitchingly, and when he saw me, he greeted me with a smile and said "Hi~", and his voice was soft.
The other man, with a resolute face and firm eyes, was wearing a long black and red knife at his waist, a pair of topless glasses on his nose, and white hair on his shoulders.
The girl is also very beautiful.
What a tall beauty, with charming eyes and moth eyebrows, deep but sensitive and agile ink pupils, smooth black hair dragged straight to the knee socket, seeing me look at her, she twisted her head to the side indifferently.
"Huh! Obviously I brought you back, why did you look at me the last one. β
The voice of dissatisfaction came, and I looked down to see that it was really a child, somewhat similar to a tall beauty, with a cunning and obedient light in her big eyes, very cute.
With long wavy dark blue hair, watching her pouting angrily, I had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
The moment I remembered it, I almost jumped out of bed, crawled and hid on the other side of the bed, and looked at her across the bed.
"You're not that night's monster!"
That's right, the mysterious humanoid creature I saw in front of the Humvee that day, before I fainted, the silhouette was exactly the same as the little girl in front of me.
Hearing me call her a monster, the little girl immediately closed her mouth, her face was flushed, and she was about to lose her temper, but the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and a teenager pushed a wheelchair in, and the person in the wheelchair was also a teenager, and the two teenagers were extremely similar.
As the two of them walked into the room, everyone looked at each other, and their expressions became much more serious.
"Hello, young man." The wheelchair boy said to me.
Oh, I'll go, this greeting, suddenly vomited ten thousand grooves in my heart, young man? How old are you!
But I didn't say anything, judging from the reactions of other people just now, although this person looks like a teenager, he is definitely not ordinary, this atmosphere can still be understood, and he nodded slightly and returned a salute, but his face must not be very good-looking.
The wheelchair boy didn't care about my reaction, just waved his hand, "Follow me, I'll explain to you your current situation." β
After saying that, he pushed the door open without waiting for my answer.
Glancing at the other six people in the room, he immediately followed, and now he really wants to know what happened to him, isn't he dead, thinking of the death report, things are really out of line.
Wearing a large hospital gown, he walked out of the room quickly, and the other six people followed, and after going out, they realized how huge this place was!
After walking through the corridor outside the door, there is an elevator at the end, and everyone rushes in, and the elevator begins to fall down rapidly.
The keys by the door are all negative,
"This is underground?"
I couldn't help but ask, but no one answered, well, I'm not bored.
After a while, the elevator came to an end, minus forty floors, God! I exclaimed in my heart, this is a huge underground structure!
Everyone stepped out of the elevator one after another, and at this time, the wheelchair boy finally spoke.
"Red dust, we officially call it blood dust, what blood dust is, where it comes from, even if we have studied it for more than twenty years, no one can really tell you.
Biologists believe that it is a parasitic virus, from ancient times, which mutates due to the environment; Physical astronomers believe that it comes from a meteorite that fell on Earth and is an extraterrestrial species; What's more, some religious scholars believe that it comes from hell and is demonic!
The latest research, after comparison, found that blood dust is different from any virus species on the earth, and its composition is also outside the element list, which is an unknown element that has never been understood, and does not belong to any species, so we are more inclined to extraterrestrial species theory. β
I was silent behind me, waiting for his next steps.
"Blood dust parasitizes living organisms, arousing the most negative emotions of the host, despair, violence, cruelty, and humans begin to kill each other, most of which you should know."
I nodded, these have been compiled into history textbooks, and the explosion of blood and dust has brought about a huge disaster, not only directly to human beings themselves, but also to the entire ecology.
"In 2023, the Calamity Calendar was promulgated, and we also established Blood Dust Research Centers, which are distributed all over the world, 'TBRC-AE3, TheBlood-dust ResearchCenter-Afro-Eurasia3', the Blood Dust Research Center, the third sub-institution of Eurasia and Africa."
Listening to the words of the wheelchair boy, I looked back at the costumes of the six people behind me, and sure enough, the uniforms all had the logo of "TBRC-AE3" on their left arms.
"The top technology and armed forces of the entire Eurasian and African continents are distributed in organizations like ours, so don't be surprised that there are kendo masters from Japan in the team."
As he spoke, a lot of staff wearing special isolation suits began to appear on both sides of the road, and they didn't seem to care about our presence.
Looking at those people wrapping themselves so tightly, and looking at these people around them, I was suspicious in my heart, aren't these people worried about being infected, this is a research institute, so I can put my mind at ease?
As if knowing my doubts at the moment, the wheelchair boy explained without looking back,
"Although blood dust is being studied here, and samples of infected people are collected from all over the place, we will not be infected here, and you will be the same in the future."
Eh, the same? Why, what does this mean?
I was amazed, and before I could ask any questions, I listened to the wheelchair boy continue,
"The blood dust is terrible.
In the first stage, PhaseOne, the parasitic organism will have an extremely strong desire for violence and killing, and if it is stained with blood and dust, or if it is wounded by other infected people, the host will quickly enter the first stage. β
Speaking of which, the wheelchair boy rarely looked back at me.
"After this stage, the host's body and brain will be strengthened, and those powerful and abnormal monsters are the products of the second stage.
We call them P2 infecteds, they have some control, they have biological intelligence, and it is difficult to put them to death with a single conventional weapon, but fortunately, most of the P1 infecteds have been almost completely wiped out in a few crackdowns.
P2 infections begin to emerge after the darkest three years, destroying human society and making it extremely difficult to clean up and rebuild. β
With that, the group came to the end of the corridor.
The door at the end was opened, and behind the door was a glass corridor two or three meters wide against the wall, and on the other side of the corridor was an open space suspended dozens of meters high.
On both sides of the open space against the wall, there are many huge iron boxes, on which the word "P2" is painted in bright red paint, and through the window on the top of the iron box, you can see that many giant creatures are imprisoned inside.
The giant creatures seemed to sense our presence, and they all let out angry roars.
