Chapter 15 Contact
In front of the space gate of the transfer station "8", Liu Tao was wearing power armor, standing in front of the seagull-converted armed transport aircraft, looking at the neatly arranged power armor phalanx in front of him, "You are all elites selected by the republic!" Everyone is very experienced in performing tasks, however, I would like to emphasize that at no time should you open your helmet! All of them, get on board and stand by! ”
Liu Tao gave a military salute to Lu Min and Xu Ze, and silently stepped through the space door.
Lu Min returned the salute solemnly, watched Liu Tao step through the space door, and smacked his lips enviously, "I really want to try what it's like to wear it, listen to the sound of walking, it's really exciting." ”
"Pull it down, Lao Lu, you don't know the rules that officers above the division level are not allowed to go to the front line." Xu Ze rolled his eyes and ruthlessly dispelled Lu Min's daydream.
"It's too much! My commissar, it's not okay to think about it! Lu Min snorted twice and stopped talking.
In another parallel timeline, in 2012, humanity invented a new virus, KV.
It is used to destroy cancer in a targeted manner, but I did not expect that the KV virus has produced a terrible mutation after combining with a rare cancer cell.
This artificially created virus, with its unparalleled adaptability and transmissibility, infects the entire city in a very short period of time after the first case of the original virus appears, and infected humans become an irreversible mutation.
A terrifying creature was born, inhabiting the darkness and shadows of the city's underneath, hiding from the sun and hunting all edible creatures.
The powerful military power of mankind is useless against this small virus.
In the face of the widespread infection of urban residents, the authorities ordered the lockdown of the city in order to control the situation, a move that caused panic among the citizens, but in order to control the situation, the authorities ordered the lockdown of the city.
Unfortunately, it turned out later that all this was useless, and the last effort failed, and humanity was crushed by the virus.
Robert drove an expensive sports car through the grassy streets, and in the dense grass, the alarmed little animals ran deeper into the grass.
Looking at the dense grass on the side of the road and the vines crawling on the buildings on both sides of the road, Robert sighed faintly, "It's been five years......
Robert stopped the car and looked at the decaying signs on the side of the road, five years ago, he was here to watch powerlessly as one familiar person after another, killed by the virus, and the occasional survivor was either a member of the Daredevil or killed by the Daredevil in the ensuing outbreak of large-scale mutations.
Robert was lucky to survive the weakness caused by the invasion of the virus, and his body produced antibodies to the virus, but this luck came too late, and at a time when human society was completely collapsing, it was tantamount to a fantasy for one person to want to develop an artificial vaccine.
A slight sound woke up Robert, who was immersed in memories.
Robert happily gestured to Sam sitting in the passenger seat, quietly set up a single-barreled shotgun, and aimed at the American deer in the distance who was bowing his head and drinking water.
On the ground floor of the building on both sides, in the depths of darkness, some night demons who were alarmed looked greedily at the corpse of the American deer, and a night demon tentatively stretched out his hand, and the ultraviolet rays contained in the sunlight made the night demon grit his teeth and retreated unwillingly.
Robert, carefully guarding the carcass of the American deer, drove away from the area, heading straight for the military port near the city.
In one breath, he drove the car directly onto the aircraft carrier docked in the harbor, and in the face of bright eyes, Robert moved the barbecue grill from the car, disposed of the deer carcass, cut off the hind legs, and began to prepare lunch, Sam squatted on the side with drooling eyes staring at the deer legs on the barbecue.
Robert smiled and shook his head to ignore it, then took the radio out of the trunk, looked after the deer's legs, and said into the radio, "I'm Robert Neville, I'm in New York Harbor, I've got food, medicine and guns here, I welcome all survivors, if anyone hears this message, please rush to New York Harbor at noon, I'll be here for four hours every day at noon......"
It's been Robert's routine, and every day for five years, he'd come to the harbor at noon, sending the same message, expecting someone to respond, or one day, someone would burst out of the corner, laugh and give him a hug, and pat him on the shoulder and say, "Hey, buddy, I've found you." ”
It's a pity that Robert looks at the gentle sea in the sun, but it's a pity that he has been alone for five years.
Robert put down the radio in his hand and sprinkled black pepper on the deer's leg as he cut a piece in advance and put it on Sam's plate.
Sam was about to open his mouth when his ears moved, and he turned his head and barked at Robert's back.
Robert grabbed the shotgun beside him, turned around quickly, and saw an iron warrior walking towards him.
Liu Tao looked at the sloppy black man who was looking at him vigilantly in front of him, and saluted seriously, "Hello, I am Liu Tao, a subordinate of the Multi-Civilization Republic, Major of the Dragon Shadow War Department. ”
The system automatically translated English with an electronic accent, Robert looked at the hideous shape of the XDZ-1 power armor, subconsciously licked his somewhat dry lips, and asked cautiously, "Are you, human?" ”
"Yes, I am human." Liu Tao replied in an affirmative tone.
Robert was ecstatic with a hint of hesitation, "So, can you show me your face?" ”
"I'm sorry, the system has detected a special virus in the air, and I can't open the helmet." Liu Tao politely rejected Robert's request.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I was presumptuous." Robert remembered the KV virus in the air, patted his forehead vigorously, and stretched out his hand with an apologetic smile while stopping Sam's barking, "Hello, I'm Robert Neville, a colonel under the Department of Defense of the United States of America, an expert in pathogens, of course that was before, and now I'm just a lone survivor." ”
In the midst of a long lonely wait, just when Robert thought that he was the only human being left in the whole world, a fellow human suddenly appeared, which made Robert very excited.
Pulling Liu Tao, he loudly talked about his experience over the years, about a person's persistence, about the aircraft carrier under his feet, about Sam who was quietly eating venison, and about every night of worry.
Liu Tao sat quietly in the front of the car, listening to Robert's story, silently recording every word, first-hand information and information, often hidden in these seemingly complaining and cathartic words.
