Dr. Ander tested the monster in front of him who called himself Dorothy, even if this monster was really Dorothy's become, there was such a convincing precedent as the color center, but it was precisely because of his understanding of the color center that Dr. Ander could not be sure whether the monster in front of him still had a human mind. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 It is not wrong that it has intelligence, but if there is a big gap between the way of thinking and the attitude of consciousness and that of human beings, then the actions that it does now that seem to be beneficial to itself and others will gradually change its nature in the future.

The driving force behind "Dorothy" is the Lurker, and it seems impossible to avoid Dorothy's interference to cooperate with the Lurker. Cooperation with lurkers is already a necessary tone, but how much influence Dorothy has among lurkers, how deep she wants to contact each other, and how much cooperation she wants to cooperate with needs to be carefully studied. The bad thing is that this meeting is only the first meeting, but the decision has to be made, and neither Dr. Ender nor the other survivors have much time to study it carefully.

The anomaly that happened to him before had already made Dr. Ander feel a more serious sense of crisis, and compared to other survivors, his state had clearly come to the edge of a cliff. Although I don't want to admit it, the probability of an abnormal condition in my body, no matter which angle you consider it, is doomsday syndrome. In the field of researching special drugs, Dr. Ruan Li and her mentor are undoubtedly the best in the hospital, even so, they have not been able to prolong their lives after they are infected, and they can only helplessly treat themselves as experimental subjects.

With a ninety percent chance of contracting doomsday syndrome, Dr. Ender felt a horror more terrifying than death, the torment he faced before death, and the hopelessness that seemed to have a glimmer of hope. People who have been studying the "virus" for a long time feel more despair and fear after being infected than ordinary patients, precisely because they know more about it. Knowing more is never simply a happy thing, as has been proven many times in Dr. Ender's past research career, not only when he was studying "viruses", but also in earlier research subjects, but it was mostly due to the dangers posed by the dark side of human beings and social activities.

If it is a terror or danger caused and led by humans, it will always make people feel that "it should be solved", but if it is triggered by a "virus" that cannot be understood at all and cannot be clearly observed, the hope of solving it will plummet.

Dr. Ender knew that if he wanted to survive, all he could do was continue his research. And to continue the research on the "virus", it is impossible to do it without the assistance and support of the lurkers. Not to mention the situation on the side of the lurkers, the research force on the surface of the hospital has been irresistibly affected by the expansion of the "virus" infection, almost a devastating blow, there are only thirty survivors, not all of whom are researchers, this number of people can not even be fully operational, the efficiency of work is so low that it is an outrageous degree, except to pray for luck, otherwise Dr. Ender really does not know what else he can do.

Working with the lurkers is already the most hopeful way. Solving his own infection, avoiding the possible soon-to-be-approached clean-up of the hospital, and seeking a glimmer of life in the deteriorating external and internal environment - these goals are enough to make one feel almost hopeless when compared to one's current situation, and Dr. Ender is surprised at the extent of this struggle to judge rationally the manner, timing, and extent of cooperation that he can still judge rationally while he is still awake, and to rationally confront these lurkers who seem to be friends and foes.

"You've been infected. The specific medicine injected for you was developed according to the direction of Dr. Nguyen Li's last research before her death, and she pointed out your importance in her last words, Dr. Ander. This is the reason why you can use this precious special medicine, you should be very aware that each special medicine can only be used once, and after the suppressed condition has flareed up, the same drug will not only not alleviate the condition, but sometimes even accelerate the deterioration of the condition. Dorothy's voice echoed in Dr. Ander's ears, and Dr. Nguyen Li's name appeared here, which made Dr. Ander both stunned and suddenly realized, which was not a strange thing, Dr. Nguyen Le has always been very capable, and it was only in the office struggle that the means were not as good as Dr. Ander's, so he was suppressed. Rather, Dr. Ander himself was the main driver of her suppression, but the reason was not because of Dr. Nguyen's ability, but because Dr. Nguyen's mentor, Dr. Hawke, had always been his biggest competitor.

Dr. Ruan Li has not been reused in the hospital, and has been delegated to seemingly important, but in fact there is not much room for development, and the clinical psychological diagnosis and treatment of the special experimental subject "Gao Chuan" is undoubtedly only implicated by her supervisor's failure in the research competition.

Dr. Ander has no ill feelings towards Dr. Nguyen Lê himself, after all, he is also a smart and beautiful woman, and she is also a pleasing member of the hospital team. So, after the death of her mentor, Dr. Ender reactivated her to carry on her mentor's research. After all, competitors need to be suppressed, but their research areas and research capabilities will definitely contribute to the research project.

Dr. Ander felt that his strategy was correct, but he didn't expect that Dr. Nguyen Li would actually take refuge in the lurkers, who were definitely a handful, if not a handful, of their abilities.

"When did she join you?" Dr. Ender asked.

"After you appointed her to continue Dr. Hawke's research." Dorothy's answer made Dr. Ander smile with mixed meanings, and it was clear that Dr. Nguyen Li's choice was not subjective hatred, but the urgency of time and the helplessness of the hospital's research in a dead end. Dr. Ander had sensed that it was likely that Dr. Nguyen Le had already suffered from doomsday syndrome when he was reactivated. Although she has been reused and supported by her full promise, there is still intrigue in the hospital team, and there are no restrictions on research, and her own gender is also an important factor in hindering. Breaking the rules and being convincing is definitely not something that can be done in a short period of time with the support of Dr. Ender, and Dr. Nguyen Le has realized that he doesn't have that much time.

Therefore, although the lurkers are also a suspicious group of people for Dr. Nguyen Le himself, the support of the other party is greater, and Dr. Nguyen Le finally made his own choice. But even so, she failed to prolong her life and failed to achieve the most critical results. The research direction she left for the lurkers, and the results of their research from this new direction, have become a lifesaver for Dr. Ander at this moment—even if only temporarily, and Dr. Ander must be extremely grateful to Dr. Nguyen Li.

Both in terms of favor and need, Dr. Ender felt that he was at a disadvantage. There are only two bargaining chips left for me now: my own research, the color center and Dr. Ruan Li's attention.

However, Dr. Ender did not waver in his expression because of this, after all, he did not have many bargaining chips, and without knowing the actual situation of the lurkers, he fully intended to rely on the advantages of words and political struggle experience to win a relatively good result for the survivors.

There were many other people who decided to make contact with the Sleepers, and there were many others who acted with Dr. Ander that night, but he was the only one on the scene, which forced him to consider the fact that he was the only person who could contact the important person "Dorothy". He knows very well that the reason why he can stand here is not accidental, his identity, ability, and connections all determine that he has an advantage over others.

It is precisely because "Dorothy" said about Dr. Nguyen Li that in Dr. Ender's judgment, her influence and importance among the lurkers have once again increased significantly. The effect of the use of the special drug is as it says, it is by no means reusable, a new special drug, means a chance to prolong life, in the current expansion of the "virus" infection, I believe that the infiltrator group is absolutely unsafe, this special drug will definitely not be easily allowed to be used. Because of this, since the decision to "use Dr. Ender" has been made, whether it is a group meeting or an arbitrary act, it can prove the weight of the proposer, and "Dorothy" undoubtedly occupies a considerable initiative in this proposal.

"You should be aware of the situation in the hospital, and I won't mention what you are pushing behind for the time being, but since you have not been able to research the serum, and the direction left by Dr. Ruan Li must be limited, it is impossible to support you to make more special drugs in a short period of time, so I don't need to say much about the fate you are facing. The present of the hospital is your future. Dr. Ender's tone hardened.

"It's true, we have done some things in the process of the expansion of the infection, but it is not the main cause of the expansion of the infection, but in the absence of any way, we are trying to speed up the research through these methods, and we want to try to see if the "virus" infects everyone faster, or we come up with a way faster...... But in the face of the "virus", this struggle also makes people feel powerless. Doroku said unabashedly, "We need to concentrate all the forces we can, and that's why you're here, isn't it?" Dr. Ender. It's just that you're more proactive and move faster, but our side is also ready for cooperation. ”

"So, can you contact the outside world? I don't think that's a good sign for the fact that the level of support that hospitals have been receiving lately has been significantly decreasing. Dr. Ender didn't intend to dwell on the priorities of the dominant position, which were important, but they weren't immediately solvable, and it would be a good idea to put them aside, so he thought and changed the conversation and went straight to the current situation.

"Unfortunately, our side has completely lost the ability to communicate with each other. However, I think we need to be more concerned about the not-so-good signs than connecting with people from the outside world. Dorothy said this, and in front of Dr. Ender, a translucent virtual screen quickly unfolded, which was the scene around the island where the hospital was located, and Dr. Ender could recognize at a glance the topography and vegetation there, as well as the most commonly used ship docks.

The camera moves quickly and goes straight into the sea. The seawater filtered through the layers of light, looking through the underwater lens, actually gives people a sense of disobedience. Dr. Ender blinked, his attention concentrating, and he was still wondering what was causing this sense of dissonance, when he saw some solid silhouettes float past the sides of the camera, seemingly propelled by the current, but at too fast speed. It's not because the contours are swimming, it's more like the water itself is too impulsive. It was only after a flicker of shadows that Dr. Ander could see what it was.

It was one sea creature corpse after another, however, their shape had become unbearable. Like fish, like anything else, there are traces of starfish, squid, shrimp turtles, and even coral, but it is difficult to determine what kind of creatures they are by their silhouette alone - it is like a huge mutation, these creatures maintain painful struggles before they die, and their bodies are rigid after death, but the mutation continues.

These strangely shaped corpses will make people feel the most uncomfortable associations, make people sick, send chills to the bottom of their hearts, and strongly realize that this change is by no means normal, and it is definitely not an ordinary deformity, but an abnormal change in the nature of a creature.

"This is what has changed in the surrounding waters in recent days." Dorothy's voice continued to ring, and Dr. Ander heard it, but couldn't draw his attention back from the mutated horror, "It's happening in this joint eye, and we have to assume that they have something to do with the spread of the viral infection. Unfortunately, we, and humanity as a whole, may be in the most disadvantageous situation imaginable. ”

Dr. Ender has been studying the "virus" for a long time and has never seen what is happening in front of him. The impact of the "virus" is no longer limited to humans, and the corpses of multiple species seem to indicate something. However, Dorothy had worse news: "According to calculations, a considerable number of these corpses were not creatures of the sea, but were brought from outside by the currents, which have their own problems. ”

The world outside the hospital may be more infected with the virus than we think. (To be continued.) )
