Interlude 3: Questioning (I)
The virus will be a key clue in the second volume, and of course another virus......
July 12, 2179, a year and a month after the events of Pittsburgh.
In the western Indian Ocean, 4 degrees 20 minutes south latitude, 55 degrees 59 minutes east longitude, the airspace of the former independent country of Seychelles, 2 kilometers away from Mariana Island, over the sea area on the west side of Mariana Island, a rotorcraft of the Kronos company appeared out of thin air out of thin air, this latest rotorcraft is the first batch of tactical transport aircraft officially equipped with plasma stealth technology, in addition to retaining the original optical camouflage function.
"Entered the delivery program, removed stealth, activated electronic jamming, no radar irradiation was detected, and the motion sensor did not react...... I confirmed the target visually, sir, and I was ready to deliver. ”
"Understood."
Ling Yu raised his hand, and with a turn of his machine's left eye, the young man who had completed the initialization of communication closed the mystery pistol in his hand and looked at the white-haired girl sitting on the stool in the cabin.
It has been more than a full year since Jess's death, and the all-out war between the Alliance and the ACA has also been going on for a year.
But after the initial excitement, the generals on Icarus also gradually realized the problem.
Entry does not mean occupation, and occupation does not mean conquest.
The League is now sliding further into the abyss of law and order warfare every day, and this dangerous area where everyone is the enemy is not only demoralizing but also distorting the direction of equipment development compared to the frontal battlefield where artillery is fired.
Just as the United States found itself in the quagmire of the early 21st century, there are now radical military officers demanding "unlimited screening" of occupied territories.
However, this qiē has nothing to do with Ling Yu, he is not arrogant enough to feel that he can control the situation of a war, and in his opinion, even if he goes to the front line, it will not make a difference. If an ordinary soldier is a pebble, then he is at most a pebble, and there is no difference in front of the sea.
On the other hand, the alliance is also trying to downplay his influence, after all, the identity of the savior of Paris is not to mention, and the credit for resolving the second Icarus crisis must all be counted on Ling Yu's head. This is a huge feat that gives the above headaches, but fortunately, the entire Second Icarus Crisis is hidden in the offensive and defensive battle in Washington, coupled with the poor communication of the solar storm, so under the deliberate dilution of the alliance, Ling Yu's credit has been enriched to many people.
Ling Yu didn't care too much, anyway, the alliance wouldn't change the established strategy because of his merits, thinking about it from another angle, if he was someone from the Ministry of Defense, he wouldn't go to the world to find Char regardless of the strategic level of the problem.
So now this situation. Ling Yu was relatively satisfied, he was not locked up like a monkey in a circus, escorting the world to "stun Hitler" to promote war bonds, and with the acquiescence of the Allied military, the shadow force "Heavenly Punishment", which had even surpassed the equipment of ordinary troops, also fully cooperated with his actions, and Ling Yu had no other needs.
"Is there anything new?"
Ling Yu inserted the mystery into the holster on his leg, took an assault rifle from the gun rack next to him and carried it on his back, and picked up the magazine bag on the table and hung it around his waist. Look at Helis.
No, there is no radio communication on the island. It seems to have been abandoned, hopefully we didn't come too late.
Helis shook his head slightly, and the text appeared directly on Ling Yu's empty eyes.
"It's better than nothing, Marven can't have left no clues."
In addition to Char, Marven also became a member of Ling Yu's wanted list, although the loss of the alliance had nothing to do with him. But whether it is Jesse or Linya's death, it can be said that this chief scribe with a beast heart planned it.
So he had to die.
"Ready to deploy, sir!"
With the captain's voice, Ling Yu opened the hatch and kicked the rope off the plane with one kick. The rifle was slung on its back and slid down the rope.
Landing on the ground stretched out his finger at the gyroplane and spun around, and the metal boot at the feet of Helis, who jumped directly from the plane, spewed out two flames to offset the kinetic energy of the fall, and landed firmly on the ground.
"Then let's see what's going to welcome us here, I don't know if it's Ebola, the T-virus, the Ouroboros, or the Kiawo?"
Ling Yu unloaded his rifle and made a cold joke, knowing that the girl behind him would not respond, and walked towards the white building in the dense forest without looking back.
***
Ling Yu and Helis received the news three days ago, and the source was the information collected by Helis, which was a sealed file of the Allied Military Intelligence Investigation Bureau.
The content of the information is simple, that is, on the island of Mariana, which originally belongs to the Seychelles, there is likely to be a highly classified biochemical room.
And this real yàn room is very likely to be related to Char.
This speculation seems absurd, but any ridiculous or worthless clues are worth Ling Yu's trip, and there is another piece of information in his hand to prove it, which is the information sent by the codename "Prometheus" a month ago.
A bioweapon called "Black Dawn" is likely to be an important part of Char's plan, and although it is not clear whether it is a virus, fungus, or parasite, there is no doubt that it is possible to find Charr or Marvin by following this clue.
Ling Yu trusted Prometheus, or rather, Ren Xiu.
This is the reason why Ling Yu and Herris appeared here.
The air in the rainforest is a little breathless, and through the almost decaying wooden corridors, a dilapidated white building emerges before the two of them, an island nation like the Seychelles that receives a large number of tourists every year before the energy crisis erupts at the twilight of human civilization, and this building is an abandoned resort.
A good cover.
From the hall into the basement, there is an electronic reaction, there is an electronic door.
Ling Yu nodded lightly when she saw Helis leaving her, and then walked through the dry and leaf-filled pool, through the porch, and into the lobby of the resort.
"No one has been in or out for at least a month. If it weren't for the other entrances and exits, we would have been late. ”
The entire building of the resort was wrapped in vines and plants, and all the windows were also blocked by huge broad leaves, so that there was no light inside the building, Ling Yu raised his hand to turn on the flashlight on the gun, leaned over to look at the dirt on the ground and spoke.
Helis did not respond. The cat's ears turned slightly, and she looked around alertly, and a fist-sized spider sped past her metal boots before disappearing into the vines on the side.
"Be careful."
Ling Yu reminded again, and then the black military boots stepped on the thick dirt, and walked through the lobby, the entrance to the basement was not hidden, and through the light of the flashlight, Ling Yu could even see the traces of the vines and plants being cut by man-made - but it hadn't been pruned for a while.
Ling Yu took out the dagger with his right hand and backhand. Clearing some of the unstable vines, he pushed open the basement door and walked down the stairs.
It seems that no one will come to this island, or maybe they are confident in the cover of the resort, the electronic door is not disguised in any other way, and in the dark, the red door lock is unusually eye-catching.
Ling Yu stretched out his hand and motioned for Helis to open the door. The girl stepped forward and pressed her finger against the door. After a few seconds, the red light turned green, and the electronic door retracted upwards in front of Ling Yu, revealing the white passage behind it.
The last visit to Wèn was 22 days ago, and it seems that it has been abandoned.
Ling Yu nodded to indicate that he had seen Helis's words, and then raised his gun. The lights in the passage in front of me are turned on one after another, and it seems that there is still electricity supply in this place.
"Securing the pathway."
Ling Yu waved his hand and gave the order, and Helis took out a small object from the inside of the cloak and placed it next to the door, so that she could remotely control the door with a powerful signal, so that the two of them would not be locked inside.
Ling Yu continued to walk along the passage with his gun in hand. Like any abandoned base, there were a lot of meaningless research numbers, reports, damaged electronic boards, and other miscellaneous items scattered on the ground, Ling Yu didn't care, and followed the sign on the wall, heading directly in the direction of the research center.
Someone is watching us, Ling Yu.
Helis followed Ling Yu silently, and after saying this, Ling Yu naturally swung the muzzle of the gun, signaling that he knew.
There will be no electricity in the abandoned base, and whatever it is, it shouldn't have come in vain.
Ling Yu thought so.
However, the expected ambush did not appear, and even the electronic gate was not locked all the way.
More than ten minutes later, the two walked directly into the main control room, Ling Yu closed his eyes and sensed it, and then turned his hollow left eye to scan it, and after making sure that there was no danger, he waved his hand at Herris, and the girl ran straight to the main control platform and started the operation.
I think you should come and see this, Ling Yu.
Helis's operation didn't last long, and he called out to Ling Yu, and the black-clothed young man stepped forward, and Helis took a step back and gave way to the control platform.
In this institute, the realization of a virus is being carried out.
Similar to Ling Yu's guess, this was not a surprise, his fingers slid across the screen for a moment, and then spoke.
"Is there a way to collect the number of real yàn?"
No, the number jù is erased, and it cannot be restored,
Helis shook her head and gave an answer, but she stepped forward and pressed the switch of a projector next to Ling Yu, the screen in front of Ling Yu disappeared, and then a new one appeared.
However, I have just discovered something interesting, and it seems that according to the records, there are still some "real yàn bodies" alive in this real yàn room.
"Real yàn body?" Ling Yu raised his eyebrows, "It can't be some disgusting mutant creature." ”
…… If you're talking about mutant creatures by the definition of an antique game, then I can tell you that clearly...... Yes.
Helis frowned, and then the cat's ears turned, and the screen in front of Ling Yu flickered, and a floor plan appeared.
I didn't find any picture information, let's go down and take a look, although it has reached the level of biochemical weapons, but it shouldn't pose a threat to us, not far from here, the third underground layer is the real yàn area.
"I'm definitely going to go down and have a look, if necessary, I can deal with these creatures and weapons one-on-one, and collect some battle numbers." Ling Yu shook his head. However, he rejected part of Herris's plan, "However, I'll just go down, I don't think this base is that simple." ”
Ling Yu took a step back, looked at the screen and was silent for a moment, "The abandoned base still has electricity, which is not normal in itself, it has not been attacked, and there is no possibility of falling, but when you evacuate, you don't destroy all the real body...... In short, it's too abnormal. ”
However, I always feel that there is something incongruous, don't you think about it anymore?
Helis turned her head to look at the code rain on the screen and pouted.
"We don't have time to care about these dangers."
But......
"Obey orders!"
Ling Yu suddenly raised his voice, flicked his hand and rejected Helis's further questioning, as if realizing that his feelings were a little out of control, Ling Yu took a breath and turned his head to look at Helis.
"This thing is too dangerous, and if we lose this opportunity, countless people will be in great trouble, and she will definitely take this risk in comparison."
Ling Yu breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and patted Helis on the shoulder, took off the assault rifle on his back and held it in his hand, "You are here, and you are guaranteed to have all the control authority." ”
All right...... I'll leave it to me.
Although Helis was still worried, she couldn't refute it, and she finally nodded, and then walked to the control table and stretched out her hands. (To be continued......)
