Chapter Twenty-Six: Sudden Changes
Marley took Jerry back to Anderson's house and gave him Anderson's room to live in, Jerry didn't hate the messy room, but cleaned it up diligently. The young man was also tired today, and his brother was killed again in front of his eyes, so he was stimulated a little, and he took a shower and fell asleep quickly.
Ma Le sat on the sofa watching TV, but his mind was thinking about the remaining days: he would return in less than two days, and he might get a follow-up if he handed in the task tomorrow morning. Anyway, now that I know how to go to the infected area, I just act on my own, neatly and conveniently, and find Lauren's uncle and aunt by the way......
It was dawn, the sun was shining warmly on his face, Ma Le stretched comfortably, and found that he had fallen asleep on the sofa last night. After washing, he opened the refrigerator and suddenly realized that it was full of expired and spoiled food, he didn't care, Jerry was an ordinary person, how could he eat this thing?
Ma Le pushed open Jerry's door, the young man had not woken up, Ma Le left him two thousand dollars, and wrote a note that he was going out to run errands, and he might not come back at night, this house was temporarily occupied by him, and the money was used casually. Then Marley changed into a light suit, put on his backpack, and went to Dr. Grande to hand in the task.
When Lagronde saw the twenty test tubes full, he was very surprised by the efficiency of Ma Le's work, and thanked him again and again, but did not say anything practical. Ma Le could only comfort himself that he had actually received a very rich reward, but he couldn't know without the Miracle Badge......
Ma Le asked if there was anything else he needed help with, and Grande waved his hand very heartily, saying that the materials were enough, and the next thing was to wait for the result. When Marle asked when the results would be available, LaGrand told him that all the steps were ready, and that if the theory on the CD worked, it would take a few hours at most, but if the theory was wrong, it would take months to figure it out.
Marley prayed that the theory would work, said hello to Dr. Lagrande, and wandered the streets. Manhattan was not as depressed as expected, and many people were still busy. Although these infections are terrible, they are currently confined to half of Manhattan Island, and the military has basically taken control of the situation (which is true in the eyes of ordinary people), so in the eyes of the people, at most a month, this crisis will pass, and work and life will continue. But only Ma Le knows that in the second part two years later, Manhattan has completely become an infected area and has become a hell on earth where mutant monsters are rampant.
Walking on the street, Ma Le vaguely smelled a strange smell, not fishy, not smelly, not sour or sweet, not what it was, but it smelled a little uncomfortable. I didn't notice the strange smell when I was going to find Grande before, but now when I smell it, the more I smell it, the more bad it becomes, and the more I smell it, the more annoying it becomes. Ma Le walked into a fast food restaurant, the smell in the room was much lighter, and he couldn't help but quickly take two deep breaths of fresh air.
After ordering breakfast, Ma Le picked a seat by the window and sat down. To be honest, he absorbed such a fierce monster last night, and the energy he obtained was enough to support him not to eat for a week, but after all, he had been an ordinary human for more than 20 years, and the habit of eating three meals a day could not be broken.
Ma Le drank coffee and looked at the scenery outside the window, and suddenly noticed a strange phenomenon. The fast-food restaurant is very close to the infected area, and not far from the window is a double barbed wire fence used for isolation. It stands to reason that outside the barbed wire fence should be a scene of zombies rampant, but Ma Le didn't see half a wandering zombie, instead, zombie corpses everywhere.
Was it burned to death by the power grid? Ma Le guessed in his heart, but it's not like ah, there are no scorch marks on the corpses, and they are not all fallen by the barbed wire, so how did these zombies die?
After breakfast, Ma Le talked to the waiter and asked about the zombies outside, and the shopkeeper looked out the door, shrugged his shoulders and replied, "I don't know, sir." The damn living dead were still wandering outside last night, screaming in disgust. When we opened the shop this morning, all we could see were the corpses. But that's good news, the only good zombies are dead zombies! ”
Ma Le smiled, left a ten-yuan tip, walked out of the fast food restaurant, and came to the barbed wire fence to observe the zombie corpses outside closely. The zombie had no obvious head injuries, and the posture of falling to the ground was very regular, not like it was killed during a fight, but it was like walking and being tripped and never got up again......
"This kind of sign, can it be said that ......" Ma Le suddenly thought of a possibility: there is an important plot in the original game, saying that Black Watch has developed a "blood poison", which can effectively inhibit or even kill the black light virus, which is a powerful weapon against infection. In a later chapter, Blackwatch placed dispensers throughout Manhattan, spreading "blood poison" through the air, killing most of the zombies overnight, and even forcing a large number of powerful mutated creatures into the ground......
Ma Le thought of the strange smell in the air again, could this be blood poison! Ma Le subconsciously held his breath and swung his fist hard, but his strength did not decrease, it seems that this toxin should be ineffective against him, just because his keen perception made him smell something that ordinary people can't smell.
Ma Le is not worried about the impact of blood poison now, but when he recalls the plot of the game, he thinks of the next plot that follows the blood poison incident! "Damn, it won't be that!" Ma Le looked in the direction of Times Square and listened carefully, and there was a faint roar of the machine.
"it! Really! As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Le felt the ground begin to shake violently, and then the road cracked, and hunters broke through the ground one by one, and began to wantonly slaughter civilians on the streets! The Black Watch and Marines are also rapidly assembling to concentrate their fire on the hunters in small squads. At this moment, there was another loud bang from the direction of Times Square, followed by the roar of some unknown monster, followed by the roar of artillery fire!
The safe zone is no longer safe!
Seeing this scene, Ma Le has realized that now the plot should have developed to a decisive battle with Elizabeth, the mother of the virus! If you want to talk about Elizabeth, you have to mention the origin of the black light virus, because she is the foundation of the black light project!
When Blackwatch was founded in the sixties, a prototype of the Black Light Virus was discovered in primates. In order to study the impact of this virus on the human body, they specially established a small isolated town called Hope Town. Black Watch injected the townspeople with the virus, and at first the residents did not react to the virus, and they continued to live peacefully. But a few years later, a biochemical infection suddenly broke out in Hope Town, more than half of the residents turned into zombies, and the remaining survivors were forcibly quarantined in Hope Town!
After a year of quarantine, Blackwatch entered the town to clean up, and of the more than 400 residents of the town, only one young girl remained, and her name was Elizabeth Greene! Elizabeth seems to have a high degree of compatibility with the virus, which not only did not kill her, but also mutated in her body, greatly enhancing her physical abilities. The Black Watch forces brought her back to the headquarters for quarantine research, relying on her to cultivate the Black Light Virus. During the decades inside the Institute, Elizabeth did not age, sweated, blinked, and remained almost completely still until Alex arrived.
In order to retrieve his memory, Alex keeps investigating the confidential text of Black Watch and accidentally discovers Elizabeth's information. In search of the truth, Alex forcibly breaks into Janetek's research facility and finally meets Elizabeth. But instead of bringing Alex the truth, the girl-like monster defeats him and runs out into the streets, bringing an even more severe infection to Manhattan. Originally, the leakage of the black light virus only produced zombies, and the army was able to control the situation. But Elizabeth created the Hunter, a large infected creature that could fight against armored vehicles, began to roam the streets, greatly increasing human casualties!
In order to deal with mutant creatures, Black Watch developed "blood poison" to spread into the air, and a large number of ordinary zombies were killed, but Elizabeth led a large number of mutant monsters into the ground and escaped the "blood poison". The military detected that Elizabeth's lair was underground in Times Square, and in order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, they used a huge drilling machine to inject "blood poison" into the ground, and finally forced out all the mutant monsters! And Ma Le is just in time for this dangerous moment when the demons break the ground!
Elizabeth should have appeared in Times Square now, and according to the plot, Alex should be besieging her in Blackwatch. Ma Le was willing to go around to see if he could pick up some bargains, but on the other hand, he was also worried about the safety of Dr. La Grande. According to the plot, this expert should have survived, but now that the situation is so chaotic, who knows if there will be any accidents.
Or is the task important! Ma Le gritted his teeth, took out a black crossbow and rushed towards St. Paul's Hospital. There were also several hunters jumping up and down in front of the hospital, and dozens of black watchmen were fighting them with a tank. Ma Le took advantage of the chaos to run into the hospital and came to the underground room of La Grande.
"Doctor! You're all right, doctor! Ma Le rushed into the real yàn room, Lagrande seemed to have finished the real yàn, saw Ma Le come in, greeted him and handed him a small box: "The theory in the disc is correct!" These are the results of the research! ”
"Doctor, leave these studies alone! It's dangerous out there right now, so we'd better find a way to get out of here! Ma Le shouted, he didn't want Lagrange to die here, even from the most practical point of view, this guy is also a mobile mission release machine, according to Ma Le's memory, there will be almost no important plot within two days after defeating Elizabeth, and then it will be up to Lagrange to release the mission!
Lagronde shoved the box into Ma Le's hand and said firmly: "You take my results and leave!" I'm already a dead man, and even if I survive this time, there will be absolutely no way to live! ”
