Chapter 43 Assumptions
The section of the bridge has been set up by the military to strictly prohibit crazy people from leaving the metropolis, but anyone who is found to show crazy characteristics can shoot without notifying their superiors. This order, which originated from the army that had just arrived in the metropolis, was careless and caused certain casualties, so that the superiors issued a notice to shoot without notification.
The military headquarters on the other side of the river, the commander is General Lane, at this moment, he looked at the subordinates sitting on the left and right, not only did he care about the situation in the metropolis, but also his daughter in the city did not come out, and if such a thing happened in the metropolis, his daughter was very likely to stay in the city to collect information.
A lieutenant colonel stood up and said, "General, we have calculated that ninety percent of the people in the city are all crazy, and the remaining ten percent are hiding in various parts of the city. IMHO, unless we send in helicopter gunships and tanks, it will take a long time to rely on soldiers to advance by force, and one percent of the citizens may not be able to wait for us to come. ”
General Lane's gaze turned to the only middle-aged man in the room in a white lab coat, whose name was Eric, who had been sent from elsewhere to help the army figure out the source of the incident.
"Doctor, did you find anything?"
Earlier he killed the fanatics and brought back a corpse for Eric to study what it was to lead a city of nine adults into madness.
Eric, who was named, stood up: "Guys, I have extracted a substance from the corpse, this substance can stimulate a certain part of our brain, causing it to go crazy, this substance will slowly merge with the blood after entering the human body, the incubation time is two weeks, so I boldly speculate two weeks ago." The people of the metropolis have actually gone crazy. ”
"You mean it two weeks ago. The whole metropolis is buried with the hidden danger of an outbreak? Isn't that so? ”
General Lane had a terrible thought. This incident was not an accident, but man-made, I don't know what the idea of this poisoner was, and he was so ruthless that he plunged the entire city into madness.
"So is it curable?"
This is the most important point, if there is no possibility of treatment, the US government will not hesitate to drop a nuclear bomb on the metropolis. Fortunately, Eric's answer was satisfactory, and it also put the US government's nuclear bomb program to a halt for the time being.
"Yes, but we have to find out where the matter comes from. Of course, I am now analyzing the composition of this substance. ”
It's better to have progress than no progress, and General Lane can't ask for too much.
At this time, a soldier walked in, and General Lane remembered him as the communicator in charge of the forward troops. The correspondent reported: "General, our men have met Superman. ”
Superman? One of the transhumans, who appeared in Washington by the first alien invasion, has been active in the Metropolis since then, resisting the second alien invasion. Considering that the metropolis has become like this, it would be strange if Superman didn't show up.
……
The metropolis is full of firelight, and into the nightfall, it adds a touch of horror to the former city of tomorrow. It's like a monstrous beast, its claws ready to tear apart your body. Eat away at your flesh. Clark met some normal people on the road, and after being rescued, he was worried about what to do, found the forward troops, went over to hand over the people to the soldiers, and then left.
The metropolis has become like this, it is strange if the government is indifferent, the army is probing the situation, once it is determined that there is no way to save a city, the government will definitely not tolerate it. What Clark has to do is find the source and pull the crazy people back from the madness before the government gives the order to destroy the metropolitan.
Clark captures a madman, knocks him unconscious, and scans his body, revealing that there is a substance inside that is being transported to the brain, and the object melts into the blood. Use a sharp knife to cut open the skin, remove a little blood from it, and then upload a blood sample to the castle garrison One for analysis to see if an antidote can be made.
When I opened the communication to contact other people, there was a noise of "zizz", and the result was that the communication was interrupted. It was fine just now, but the communication was suddenly cut off, and Clarke's brow furrowed, the situation in the metropolis deteriorated, and the communication failed, but there was a TV news broadcast all over the United States, and the others might not know about it, and they might be in a hurry now.
Able to spread wildly on a large scale, and on the same day, the channels are nothing more than rainfall, food, airborne transmission, and water transmission, Clark temporarily thought of these four modes of transmission, and vaguely guessed something. Imagine this, poisoning the metropolis, why choose a city with superhumans, instead of throwing in other cities without superhumans, this is a big doubt, don't say what the other party is willing to say, I don't know, the metropolis has already made it clear that Superman is here, Superman's territory is here, the other party should know this and also poison, in order to target himself, although there is no evidence of suspicion, but the premonition is right to tell sù himself.
Along the four modes of transmission, first of all, the transmission mode of rainfall is ruled out, no one knows how long the incubation period is, and now it is being investigated, it is already very late, so follow the remaining three modes of transmission to investigate.
Return to the residence to pick up the special equipment, and then go to the nearby dock warehouse, where a large amount of food is stored, and after the device has passed, the device shows that it is normal, and the food is eliminated. The remaining two, airborne on the instrument showed that there were no foreign objects, indicating that they were not in the air, and finally the water source remained.
Clark turned on the faucet, left the tap water, and scooped up a handful of tap water, and the instrument showed that there was something in the water source. It can be confirmed that the poisoning was in the water source, and the incubation period of this substance is about two weeks, so the mastermind behind it has been planning for a while two weeks ago.
Looking at the metropolis at this time from above, Clark suddenly understood a little bit that the mastermind behind the scenes not only turned this city of tomorrow into a crazy city, but also that the city was crazy, which happened to become the best battlefield, unscrupulously destroying miè and fighting, without any scruples at all.
"Stay away from me!"
The harsh and pleasant voice came from an office building, and after the X-line scan, it was said by a black-haired beauty, and in front of her was a crazy person who was about the same as the people on the street.
Seeing that the madman was about to meet the black-haired beauty a few steps away, Clark smashed through the ceiling and fell from the sky, grabbed the madman and threw it back, the madman was thrown out before he had time to resist, even if he was crazy, the key point was still zài, and as usual, he fainted.
"Thank you...... Are you Superman?! ”
The black-haired beauty wants to thank the superman who suddenly found out that it was not the Metropolis who appeared in front of her, what do you want to take with her professional habits, and she found that she had escaped in too much hurry and had lost her camera. Clark was stunned when he saw her appearance, this was not Louise. Ryan? Why is she still here, at the beginning of the madness, she didn't run away?
After a moment's pause, Clark quickly figured out why Louise. Ryan didn't leave with the others, just for the news here, and at the same time to uncover the truth, he stayed, but a helpless woman here, sooner or later, she will become the one who will be beaten. This time, if Clark hadn't arrived in time, a young and beautiful reporter would have been beaten to death here.
"You should get out of here, it's not as safe as you think, normal people want to leave."
Clark said in a teasing tone, Louise. Ryan shrugged and said helplessly, "I want to leave, but there are crazy people everywhere, and it's hard for me to leave." ”
"No, at least you're lucky to meet me."
Not waiting for Louise. Ryan refused, Princess Clark picked her up, didn't have time to make small talk with her, and found a normal person to be sent out immediately, and couldn't leave him (her) in a city where only madmen remained.
"Superman, can you give me a moment to give you an interview?"
Meet the Met legend, Louise. If Ryan hadn't offered the interview, she wouldn't have been the real her at all. Clark glanced at her lightly and refused, "I'm sorry, I don't want to waste my time on this, what you write after this time will shock the world." ”
Didn't get the answer she wanted, Louise. Ryan was a little disappointed, but quickly picked himself up and said something that Clark cared about.
"Superman, if you're going to stop this qiē, I'm not sure it's related."
"What are you talking about?"
"There was a ship at the dock two weeks ago, and they were carrying something I don't know what it was, maybe it had something to do with what was happening now."
Clark asked Louise. Why would Ryan know this, even if he asked, she wouldn't have said. Holding Louise. Ryan goes to safety and Clark leaves to head to the docks to find Louise. Lane said about the steamer. (To be continued......)
