Chapter 239: Dr. Essex
There are more and more crows in the sky, and the shrill calls have formed a unique rhythm. Like a school of fish, the crows continue to hover around a center, forming an inverted cone, which obscures the sky and the sun is creepy.
"Carlos!"
"I'm calling!" Carlos roared back, then turned around and began fiddling with the communicator in his hand.
"Maggie! Speed up! ”
"Doing it!" A fat black man replied quickly, and continued to knock on the board along with the school bus and SUV, urging them to speed up.
At this time, behind the huge sand dunes against which the motel rests, a tired figure wearing big black sunglasses and a headscarf appeared. From the huge dogleg knife on her legs and the shotgun on her back, she knew that the other party was no longer a simple person.
She looked up at the swollen flock of crows in the sky, her brow furrowed. Remembering the radio signal heard earlier. He groaned slightly, turned and hurried in that direction.
At this time, the situation of Claire's team has become more and more critical, and from time to time someone is hit by crazy crows, and then is pecked to death. Then someone finally couldn't take it anymore, gritted his teeth and rolled over the roof of the tanker, filled with all the remaining gasoline, and frantically pulled the trigger of the flamethrower.
"Carlos!" Claire screamed again.
"It's coming!"
Before Carlos could finish speaking, a large sea of fire had already erupted from a distance, and Claire turned her head to look. I saw nearly a hundred soldiers wearing fiery red battle mechs running out of the castle walls, each holding a thick flame gun in their hands, constantly advancing forward. Countless charred crows crackled and fell down, but many more descended into a final madness.
By this time, the person controlling the flamethrower above the tanker had been torn to pieces by the crows of madness, and the out-of-control flames had begun to kill and indiscriminate. It's constantly spinning in the reaction force.
A child panicked and ran out of the school bus screaming. The crows of madness took him as a target almost instantly, and formed a small group of arrows and rushed straight down from the sky.
Carlos was so shocked that he rushed forward without thinking about it. Jumping to the ground, he was about to dodge the crows' sneak attack, and seeing that he had no time to dodge the flames, Carlos desperately protected the child in his arms, and closed his eyes in front of the child, wanting to use his life to keep the child safe.
Maybe Carlos's life should not be extinguished, and at this critical moment, the savior of fate finally appeared in front of him.
Carlos waited for the flames to stop, and when he looked back, he saw that the tongue of fire that should have burned Dao himself was blocked out by a transparent shield. He couldn't even feel the heat of the flames. Swift turn back. Suddenly, he found a woman in a beige trench coat staring closely at the flames behind him, and an invisible fluctuation slipped past his ears, and a sense of deadly danger instantly hit his heart.
"Alice...... the corners of Carlos' mouth moved slightly, and slowly spit out the woman's name.
That's right, this person is the indispensable protagonist of the entire biochemical plot, Alice.
Alice keenly heard Carlos's soft call, her eyes looked at him for a while, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly to say hello, and then her pupils dilated again. My breathing became a little shorter. The flames that erupted indiscriminately in the sky suddenly became a sea of fire, as if they had eyes to look for those red-eyed crows.
The powerful telekinesis raised the temperature of the flames by nearly several times, and almost instantly, the crows raging in the entire sky turned into flying ashes. The black smoke and flames spread more and more in the air, as if the sky had turned into a sea of fire in an instant. It almost overshadows people's eyes.
Alice couldn't hold back tears from the corners of her eyes, her whole body gasped weakly, she tried to look up at the sky full of flying ashes, and smiled at Carlos not far away. The whole body went limp, and he fell down earlier.
Carlos ran two quick steps and grabbed Alice, gently supporting her and slowly sliding to the ground. Quietly by his side.
Alice was also unable to speak at this time, and reluctantly reached out to grab Carlos's shoulder, gasping rapidly. It seems that this overuse of mental ability has exhausted her! ――
At the same time, not far from Las Vegas, in an underground experimental base under the umbrella, the turned on computer quickly began to swipe the screen, and a little girl in a white dress suddenly appeared next to the computer out of thin air, looking at the man who was sitting with his head buried in the experiment not far away, and said: "Dr. Essex, another powerful beta fluctuation has been detected, and the probability that it is Alice's mother is forty-five percent!" ”
The man looked up suddenly, walked quickly to the computer, and said, "Do triangulation and determine where she is now!" ”
A series of data quickly swiped out from the monitor, and then a corner of the map popped up, and several flickering far points formed a triangle to lock a red point of light inside.
"I can't imagine it! How much has changed in a few years. If that's really her, then the speed at which she's getting stronger is amazing! ”
"Since she escaped from the Detroit headquarters, her abilities have likely increased exponentially!"
"It's incredible!" Dr. Essex exclaimed obsessively and said, "Sample Eighty-Seven has woken up?" ”
"The test has been passed and is ready to move on to the final testing phase."
"Excellent! Access to his screen. ”
As soon as the words fell, the monitor had changed to a surveillance screen, and the panicked woman who appeared in it was Alice. I saw her cautiously moving forward in an uninhabited corridor, picking up the tools at hand from time to time to crack some small traps. Although the woman's expression was a little nervous, her movements were skillful, and the whole process was like flowing water, and she was like a bamboo. However, the good times didn't last long, a zombie who didn't know where it came from came straight from the blind corner of the woman's vision, although the woman had a body of martial arts, but she was still paralyzed by horror, and ended up with a fragrant and jade death.
Essex shook his head regretfully, turned off the picture casually, and said insincerely: "It's a pity! ”
"Doctor, the final location of the signal source has been determined, and after comparing the images, the probability of suspected Alice's matrix is sixty-two percent."
"Welcome home!" Essex propped his chin with his hands, and said softly with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Give me the ground action force, I will personally pick her up!" ”
"But, Doctor!" The little girl in white frowned slightly and said, "Your movement restriction order has come down. You can't leave the lab by the rules! ”
Essex was stunned for a moment and said angrily, "What the is going on? Who gave the order! ”
"The security forces can't stand you going to the surface more than ten times a day to collect test subjects. They believe that this is a serious threat to the security of the base, so they have applied for a restraining order against you. At the same time, the order of the director of the Americas has come down. They demanded that troops be allowed to be dispatched only when the match was 100 percent! ”
"Shit!" Essex slammed the table and said angrily, "They are wasting my precious time, Alice's mother is the core of my research and training experiment, and her blood and genes are the key to the experiment." Moreover, the mother is evolving faster and faster. The longer we let her go, the lower our chances of re-arresting her. They are simply stupid to let go of this opportunity! ”
"But Doctor! This is the latest order from the committee, and we can't change it! The little girl spread her hands and comforted with a blank face.
"Change...... Is it? Essex's heart moved, turned his head to look at the application order on his computer, and said thoughtfully: "Perhaps, we can rely on ourselves." ”
Just when Dr. Essex was thinking carefully about arresting Alice again, Alice, who he had been thinking about for a long time, had gradually come to his senses. Wang Zheng deliberately delayed the time for the rescue team to set off, so that Alice completely overdrew her ability in order to save people, which not only exposed the signal to be found by Essex, but also gave Wang Zheng time to re-establish her file.
I have to say that Alice is really a miraculous individual, the positive evolution of the T virus in her has almost exceeded everyone's imagination, no wonder Essex is crazy and wants to study him, even Wang Zheng, who has a big killing weapon like the Hulk troops, is a little bit tempted.
Not for her physical strengthening, but for her mental ability. Whether it's reflex nerves, physical enhancement bonuses, or recovery abilities, they can all be easily obtained with Wang Zheng's technology. But this is the first time he has come into contact with this kind of thinking ability, and Wang Zheng is of course very interested in this very useful ability.
But things still have to go according to plan, and since it's already planned, there's no need to make things happen for the sake of temporary interest. Moreover, Alice is the protagonist of this plane, and no one can predict what will happen to her after Wang Zheng becomes interested in her. All, in order to occupy the plot advantage, it's better not to shoot at her, but Alice's clones are bound to win!
"Hey, are you awake?" The beautiful blonde girl sitting in front of Alice asked in a whisper when she saw her slowly open her eyes.
"Hey!" Alice looked at her and smiled hello. She looked around, and saw that she was in a clean and tidy room, and the cup on her body still exuded the fragrance of soap, and asked a little strangely, "Where am I?" ”
"In the castle!" Seeing that she didn't understand, the girl said, "Maybe it can be used as a barracks, a mobile fortress built temporarily by the soldiers of a force, which is very safe!" ”
Alice thought for a moment and said, "It's the fortress that looks very powerful not far from your station?" ”
"Yes! They are very strong! The girl smiled nicely and said, "Or rather, we're very good." Claire said that from today onwards, we will also start working for them. I've heard that you can earn food! (To be continued......)
