Chapter 12: Speculation

James poked his head out to watch the content in the video, "Wow, his situation is bad enough", Jaime did not understand Chinese, watching Jiang Ke's expression become more and more solemn, his brows became tighter and tighter, he couldn't help but ask, "What is he talking about?" ”

"It's just a diary, a record of their journey from Fairbanks," Jiang Ke said, "I'm more concerned about the asylum seekers he is talking about, and the video mentions that this military base accepted a group of civilians on July 2 and placed them in Building 3. ”

Jaime frowned as well, "Evacuee? Where did it come from? ”

"He didn't say anything more, do you know something?"

Jaime tilted his head and thought for a moment, then spread his hands helplessly, "Although Alaska is a big place, it is not a densely populated area, and there are no big cities around here except for Fairbanks. Not to mention civilians, even if they are lucky enough to survive the first round of pollutants, you know what is going on outside. I don't think there will be such a group of civilians who will make it to this military base unharmed. ”

There are many clues, and there are many strange places, Jiang Ke took a deep breath and asked, "You see in the video, is my friend's condition caused by the first pollution?" ”

"Pristine contaminants? No, it doesn't make sense in terms of time. Those who survived the first round of primordial contamination should have "evolved" under the influence of nuclear radiation," Jaime frowned, "but surrounded by such a large amount of original contaminants, I can't guarantee anything. If you think about his face at the end of the video just now, many places are burned out of holes, this is not the effect of the original pollutant on the living organism, I can only guess that it is the original pollutant that triggered the "evolutionary" immune mechanism when it robbed the host. But this is just my speculation, after all, I have not seen the collision of two pollutants with my own eyes, this conclusion is not professional. ”

Jiang Ke looked at Jaime and pulled open his collar, revealing burned skin, several of which were very serious, a bit like the captain's face just now.

“??!” Jaime glanced at the wound, looked up with wide eyes, and asked, "Is this what you just did in that room?" ”

Every time Jaime healed himself, it wouldn't take long for him to get another wound, Jiang Ke nodded a little embarrassedly, "It's too much, I can't hide it." ”

Jaime was dumbfounded, "You! Right now! Immediately! Just lie down on that hospital bed! Something is wrong with this wound, and I'm going to debride it, maybe I can explain what happened to your friend. Besides, I don't want you to faint for a few more days! I'm a biologist, a future mechanical engineer, not your medic! ”

"Mechanical Engineer?" Ruby said disdainfully.

"Yes, Ruby," Jaime said to her as he pulled out his medical supplies, "and there's your genetic match on the table, let me tell you in advance, I've won." ”

Two days later......

"Ke, come and see," Jaime said suddenly. Jiang Ke is usually the busiest when he is out in a hurry, but now it has become Jaime's home field when he changes indoors. The three of them stayed in the medical room, and Jaime was busy treating Jiang Ke's wound bandage and changing dressings, and also taking samples of wounds for study.

Jiang Ke hurriedly got up and walked to Jaime's research table.

"What do you think these look like?" Jaime adjusted the screen to the air, and enlarged the screen on it to show Jiang Ke.

"Wounds." Ruby said on the side, "Isn't this Jiang Ke's wound?" ”

"Go, go, go prepare for my lesson!" Jaime angrily chased Ruby away.

In fact, Jiang Ke also wanted to answer that it was a wound, who knew that he was preempted by Ruby.

"It looks like a bite mark, but most of your wounds are still burned. It's weird, the equipment is so rudimentary, and I can't get some important data. I'll give you a detailed report when it's time to do so," Jaime turned his head and began to put the information together, apparently there was no one here to give him useful advice.

"What's going on outside," Jiang Ke asked.

"As usual, and more and more", Ruby leaned against the window, observing the situation outside, and Andrew was lying at her feet, glancing up from time to time.

"I'm not surprised." Jaime sorted through his things, picked out an image from the file and began to compare it with the wound he had just had

The three of them have been in the infirmary for two days, originally wanting to wait for the giant eagle outside to fly away before coming out, but who would have thought that there are more and more of each other, and there is a momentum of waiting for the rabbit.

"Will we be like those soldiers?" Ruby asked in a whisper, "Are they stuck in here, or are they escaping?" ”

"We are luckier than them, at least we only have external troubles, no internal worries." Jaime said, "I advise you to be cheerful and look at me." Why don't you start teaching me mechanics now, come on, Mr. Ruby's first lesson. ”

"I'm not in the mood," Ruby replied.

"Don't keep your mood on your lips, your mood is the way your own brain hormones make you feel. You're a primate, you need to use your brain to control your body, you know? Jaime babbled, "Look at me, as a biologist, I can already ......"

"Are you really a university professor like this?" Ruby couldn't stand Jaime's fragmented thoughts, and couldn't help but interrupt him, "I think the University of Alaska hired you to be a biology professor, it's just a mistake", Ruby shook his head helplessly.

"Wow-oh-27-year-old college professor, you haven't seen it, I don't blame you." Jaime fought back, "Our family is the backbone of genetic research, my sister ......" Jaime shook his head and stopped talking abruptly.

"Your sister?" Ruby asked curiously, "What about her?" ”

Jaime kept his head down, making it hard to distinguish his expression, "We've got to pick up the pace, we can't stay here forever." ”

"Pack your things and get ready to go." As if agreeing with James's statement, Jiang Ke said suddenly. In addition to resting and sleeping for the past two days, he has been watching the video on M-SEEN repeatedly, as if expecting the damaged part to miraculously repair itself.

"I don't want to feed the birds." Ruby pointed to the bald eagle outside the window.

"Jaime and I enter the monitoring room at the back through the connecting passage behind this door, and gather the corpses at the door", Jiang Ke did not hesitate, he drew a sketch of the building here, and explained the route to the two. "After that you go back to the infirmary and join Ruby, I use the corpses to lure them to the back, and you go out through the front door to start the car while they are distracted."

"And then? This car can drive up to 60 kilometers more. They'll be able to catch up with us in a moment when they're full," Jaime shook his head, "they're not wolves, it's too hard. ”

Jiang Ke stood up straight and clicked on a location on the sketch map with his hand, "No, drive to the hangar, and then we'll fly away." ”

"Are you sure there's a plane in there?" Jaime seemed to be frightened by Jiang Ke's crazy thoughts.

"I've seen the briefing on the table in the command room, and there should be a Hercules and a Wuzhi in it."

"OK, even if there is still a plane, then who will fly it?" Jaime looked at Jiang Ke, and slowly turned his gaze to Ruby.

Ruby hurriedly shook his head, "I'm not old enough to learn to drive, let alone fly!" ”

"I will," Jiang Ke said.

"Will you?" Jaime took a deep breath, "You don't want to tell me you're still a helicopter pilot, do you?" Mr. Stuntman! ”

Jiang Ke glanced at Jaime and said lightly, "I didn't say I would only fly a helicopter. ”

Jaime was dumbfounded, then glanced down, "Okay, well, I won't be shocked if I find out that you can drive a tank one day." ”

Jiang Ke turned around and raised his eyebrows proudly at him.

"What? Do you really do? Jaime was inexplicably excited about such a movie-like dialogue.

"What stuntman? What to fly? Ruby looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression.

Jaime pointed to Jiang Ke on the side, "He's a stuntman by profession, at least that's what he told me." ”

"What?" Ruby obviously didn't believe it, Jiang Ke was too strong in her heart, both mentally and in action. Without him, it would be almost fatal for him and Jaime to operate outside, "What standards are your stuntmen trained for?" ”

"I guess it's the Avengers standard", Jaime began to sort things out with Ruby, "Awesome, I feel like my luggage packing skills have improved by leaps and bounds these days, next time I don't have to worry about buying too many things and not being able to fit my suitcase when I'm traveling." ”

On the other side, Jiang Ke cautiously opened the back door of the infirmary, went to the monitoring room through the passage, and after making sure that everything was okay, he returned to the infirmary and motioned for Jaime to follow.

"It still stinks", Jaime covered his nose and grumbled as he walked into the monitoring room.

Jiang Ke silently began to carry the body from inside.

In order not to breathe in the stench, Jaime rarely did not speak the whole time, and after building up the corpse, he quickly ran back to the infirmary and carried out the rest of the plan with Ruby.

"Hello ......", Jaime froze at the door of the monitoring room, waving at the bald eagles, almost all of the giant eagles were attracted to the roof of the infirmary and the monitoring room, and there were several on the ground. Hearing the sound, they tilted their heads and looked at Jaime silently, their golden eyes fierce. "Ke, I can't hold on any longer, I feel like my goosebumps are going to mutate", Jaime's voice was visibly shaking.

"Run!" Jiang Ke kicked the pile of corpses forward, and with an order, the giant eagles flapped their wings and floated in the air, giving Jaime a chance, and James ran back to the infirmary with a roll, pulling Ruby and running towards the birds of prey. Behind the two of them there was a sound of wings spreading, black oppressive wings flapping into the air, raising a small burst of wind and snow, and the giant eagles flew towards the pile of corpses.

Giant eagles are not as aggressive as they think, and they prefer corpses that are no longer able to struggle on the ground to the living people in front of them.

However, Jiang Ke felt that something was not right, according to what they had inferred before, the people in the military base did not dare to go out because they were afraid of the attack of the giant eagles, but the situation of these giant eagles was obviously not as wild as the Yukon wolf, and it was not impossible to escape. From the appearance of the captain, the video left behind, the weird room, what exactly happened to this air base that the army can't control, and who is the attacker? Where did the civilians come from? Who locked up the captain? Jiang Ke felt that he was missing a few important pieces of the puzzle, as long as this information was found, what happened in this military base could be truly restored.

"What are you doing? Run! Seeing that Jiang Ke was delayed, for fear that he would have another accident, James ran back to take a look after settling Ruby. He saw that Jiang Ke seemed to be confronting a human-tall bald eagle, so without saying a word, he took out a few chairs from the infirmary and threw them at the giant eagle group.

Jiang Ke did not hesitate at all, and immediately followed Jaime to the raptor, and several giant eagles that were enraged by the chair quickly followed. Jaime started the car, and the birds of prey roared, "Bow down!" Jaime yelled, "We need to rush!" Immediately, he slammed on the accelerator, and the car whizzed out, slamming open the door in the direction of the hangar.

The hood was cocked in the impact, and it flew out after a while, just in time for it hit a swooping eagle, which was rolled several times by the metal impact, and finally stabilized its body and struggled to stand up again, it flapped its wings and screamed angrily at the birds of prey.

"My car", Jaime's distressed tears were about to flow out, but to save his life first, he didn't slow down at all.

However, before he could recover from the loss of the hood, the engine then went up with black smoke, the throttle stopped obeying, and the car could only slow down slowly.

The eagles behind the birds of prey began to dive, one by one aiming at this side and starting to run, while several of them rushed directly into the sky, intending to attack them from above.

"An An! Get out! ”

"Andrew! Get out! ”

Jiang Ke and Ruby gave the order almost at the same time, and a four-legged mechanical dog and an evolved Alaskan dog jumped out of the car at the same time. Jaime reluctantly touched the Raptor steering wheel one last time, and the three of them began to run desperately towards the hangar. At the moment, they are only 500m from the hangar.
