Chapter 10: The Worst Possible!

The words of the two Icarus crew members made it seem as if the travelers had found their hearts.

Humans, or most living beings, are easily discouraged when they are in extreme fear of the unknown, and feel that they are safer only by following the crowd, but in this way, they can only go with the flow in chaos.

And once encountering unexpected changes, especially when the insect infection is almost a natural disaster, the crowd itself is often the most dangerous source.

According to previous calculations, the time from Liu Yichuan's infection to the outbreak of mutation was three seconds shorter than expected, which can only indicate one problem, the crew member who bit Liu Yichuan was definitely not the source of infection, but only a second-level source of alienation or even lower.

In the echelon of the Void Worm, the more low-level units have no evolutionary potential, and therefore have no relative use value, and this cheap unit is often used as low-level cannon fodder.

The shorter the outbreak time, the higher the efficiency of the transformation of the person after being infected, in this case, mixed with a large wave of people, as long as one person is infected, under the effect of dominoes, the consequences will become extremely terrifying.

In a crowded and mutually pushing environment, the space to move is compressed, and personal combat power will be greatly weakened, not to mention Davy at that time, even if he throws a Kryptonian Superman into the pile, it is very likely to win the lottery infection.

David doesn't take chances, thinking that he will not be infected if he is a traverser.

He even unconsciously compared this situation with the scenes in those zombie movies in his previous life, and came to the conclusion that this thing is similar to zombies, but it is definitely more dangerous than zombies.

First, most of the zombies in movies and television are walking corpses, and they will only act according to instinct, and ordinary people can cause effective damage to them as long as they have the courage to fight hard.

But the alienated crew member he met before, his physical strength was obviously strengthened by germs, and he had no obvious weakness except for his brain, and was besieged by Wang Yan, the five elites from Yinchuan University, even if there were hostages in his hands and his blood was corrosive and made people jealous, but he could not hold on to them, if there was no David intervening halfway, there might even be new sacrifices.

And although he has been almost enslaved by his eating instincts, he clearly retains the most basic sanity, in other words, they can think!

Compared to everything else, that's the most terrifying.

After a preliminary analysis, David vetoed the idea of going to the shelter with the Icarus crew, and took advantage of the crowd to silently pull Luo Yanchuan, who looked a little dazed, towards the opposite place, and he was ready to go to the warehouse first to arm himself.

Registered professionals, although they have the right to carry conventional weapons, are also temporarily transferred to custody in spaceships and conventional rule of law zones, and in such situations where they are vulnerable to infection, the most important thing is weapons and protection, and the latter is even more important.

Before this almost irresistible natural and man-made disaster, all David could do was to let himself and Luo Yanchuan survive first, and then say, only by living can he be qualified to talk about the future.

As soon as David and the others made a move, they found that they were followed by some small tails, it was Wang Yan and them, and a few people who were at the first scene before, and another person who surprised David, the person who spoke in the ring in the fourth living area, the bald man, Gilverson.

Sensing David's gaze, Wang Yan explained a little weakly: "I think the current situation is too high with the crowd going to the shelter, if you have any plans, can you let a few of us follow you temporarily?" ”

It's not that David has any domineering spirit that makes people immediately surrender and follow, but in this situation, the situation that David can analyze, as long as someone who is a little calmer, can come to a similar conclusion.

Wang Yan, the elites from Yinkai University, and Givenson, who has rich experience in life, are also in this list, as for the other five men and women, they may simply see David's previous performance in dealing with the destruction of the infected body, and intuitively follow Davy They are safer, and they are pure gamblers.

Instead of responding immediately, David looked at Gilversson, who was half of the Icarus.

Givenson knew that the time had come to show his self-worth, and he didn't hide his selfishness, and the reason was even clearer, and he even gave some more valuable information about the Icarus, who had been on the Icarus for many years: "Mr. David, something is wrong, the situation has happened so far, the bridge has not been able to be contacted, and the reserve force responsible for suppressing the situation on the ship has also been dispatched too slowly, and the number is not right, so I guess there are three possibilities." ”

He paused, looked at everyone and continued: "The first possibility is that the source of the alien insect infection is likely to be not just one of our Sector 4, but multiple sources of infection will erupt at the same time, but with the internal defense of the Icarus, it should not be so weak to resist, and even weak enough to need to abandon Sector 4. ”

"So there's a second possibility, Icarus has a chance that something more intractable than the alien infection will be, so that the alien infection is a secondary situation. While it's intellectually hard to imagine anything worse than a full-blown infestation infestation on board, it's more likely based on current analysis. ”

"As for the last oneβ€”" Givenson did not say it immediately, as if hesitating whether this slightest possibility should be said or not, but might have shaken the morale of the army.

But it was David, who had a solemn face, who took over the conversation, "The first two situations may have erupted at the same time. ”

The needles fell at the scene, and Wang Yan and the others were even more pale, they never thought that the situation would be so serious, and what worried him even more was that he was seriously injured, and David would give up on them.

At this moment, David's eyes fell on him, and said: "I believe you have all seen it, the situation is serious, if you deduce according to the third possibility, at this moment, the command center in the bridge is probably overwhelmed, and we can only create opportunities to save our lives, and in this case, the more people, the bigger the target, we can't have burdens." ”

Hearing this, Wang Yan's body shook, and just as he wanted to say something to comfort his companions not to get upset because of this, he heard David continue: "Although Lao Wang's injuries look quite serious, since they have already given you a good bone, we just need to go to the No. 13 infirmary to get some medicines, and inject you with a bottle of nanomechanical medical agents, which should be able to initially restore mobility." ”

"But isn't that the source of the outbreak?" A somewhat embarrassed woman spoke weakly, obviously not wanting to go to that kind of place for Wang Yan to die.

Others also looked at him with puzzled eyes, even Wang Yan himself, because judging from David's style of acting, it didn't look like the existence of that kind of woman's kindness.

"I'm not so kind-hearted for no reason." David recounted the experience of the strange man he met when he came from Infirmary 13:

"It's very likely that the person is the carrier of the infection, so there may be some clues in the 13th infirmary that will help us determine what to do next. And to get to the warehouse area, you have to go through the central spiral passage, so Infirmary 13 is just a drop-by. And, the most dangerous places can often be relatively safe places.

According to the analysis of the actions of these infected individuals, their eating instincts will drive them to hunt constantly to maintain the consumption of germs in their bodies, and as the source of the outbreak, the 'food' inside will be depleted at the first time, and they can only choose to go out to forage, so if we are lucky, we may not encounter any resistance in the 13th infirmary. ”

"Then let's do it." The crowd approved of David's plan of action.

"Thank you." Wang Yan thanked him in a deep voice. Although he was the result of David, and David gave an extremely rational and utilitarian answer, he still has to express his gratitude for the result.

"Everyone, immediately find some 'weapons' at hand, try to use longer ones, the blood of the infected body is corrosive, there is no information on whether it will be infected if it touches the skin, but to be on the safe side, it is best to wrap the whole body, we will leave in three minutes!"

David waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to, and then began to direct everyone to return to the already empty living quarters and roughly arm themselves.

He didn't have to look for any more weapons, the semi-paralyzed autonomic cleaning robot at hand was surprisingly easy to use, and it was extremely effective.

It took a lot of effort to find the clothes that could wrap around the skin, and it was obviously too late to return to the dormant warehouse in three minutes to get spare clothes, and finally found a few yarn clothes left by the dancers on the dance floor and wrapped them on their hands, which was better than nothing.

It was Luo Yanchuan, who was almost tied into a dumpling by David who ignored the protests, leaving only a pair of big moist eyes, staring at him full of grievances, but Daviser gave him a compound bow in the shooting area.

Three minutes later, more than a dozen temporary members of the African refugees who had wrapped themselves in came to David, and the various 'weapons' in their hands made the corners of David's mouth twitch.

Gilvinson's is quite normal, a steel pipe broken from the strip floor, Wang Yan is carried by a companion named Xiaocang, holding a baseball bat found out of nowhere, and Liu Baiming, who is in a trance because of the loss of his younger brother, is carrying a fire axe.

As for the rest of the people who came in temporarily... Folding stools, beer bottles, billiard cues, what made David collapse the most was the SM leather whip in the hands of the female white-collar worker... This thing has a hanging effect on infected!

But time is precious, and David doesn't have the time to correct it, life and death are fate, and he is not the kind of savior who can protect everyone.

Nervously, everyone followed David all the way to the omnidirectional elevator and pressed the button leading to the medical area.

At this moment, the central hall behind him, except for David and the others, was empty, and as the number of representatives of the floor gradually ended, everyone's breathing became obviously rapid because of nervousness.

But the numbers came to an abrupt halt on the D-17 floor.

David's pupils shrank suddenly.

Gilverson beside him also expressed doubts, "Why is there anyone running to the living area now?" ”

"Is it the crew?"

In the midst of everyone's confusion, the number lingered on the D-17 floor for a moment before moving back towards the D-4 floor where David and the others were.

Seeing that the numbers were about to arrive, the uneasiness in David's heart gradually increased, and he suddenly raised his hand, "Retreat twenty meters, all on alert!" ”

Although the crowd was a little puzzled by David's order, they did it anyway.

Bite!

With a crisp sound.

The elevator doors opened, revealing a group of ragged, blood-stained 'travelers'!

The moment they saw David's people, they let out a low roar and rushed like a tide!
