Chapter Twenty-Nine: Not Dirty, Not Comfortable
As far as the eye can see, a thick wall of more than 40 meters high encloses the edge of Seoul City, which is two or three meters thick, and this wall takes the shape of a ring, which is easily reminiscent of pigs and sheep in captivity.
"It's ......"
"This is a protective wall built by Umbrella Company to divide the Shiyan area of Seoul, and there is a special electronic simulation screen on the inside of the wall, which can simulate what you see from any angle in the city of Seoul, and you can't tell it unless you look at it up close."
At this time, the height of the plane had climbed to a higher height, and the scene outside the entire wall was reflected in Zhang Yang's field of vision, and Zhang Yang couldn't help but breathe a screen.
Zombies, dense zombies.
There were hundreds of thousands of huge zombies, like a gray tide gathered around the protective wall, constantly trying to impact this solid fortress, and from the height of the publicity, it can be seen that these zombies surrounded the entire wall, and in the distance, there are still zombies like thin lines of zombies are constantly coming.
"What year is it?"
Zhang Yang was already sure that the information on the tape recorder he had heard before was absolutely inconsistent with what he heard now.
"Just as you guessed." King Ida shrugged his shoulders and looked at the zombie army outside with a calm face:
"It's October 27, 2005, and what you've heard is true, but the shiyan scene you're in is the one you were in a year ago, when the T-virus spread in South Korea in 2004 and then invaded the whole of Seoul, and everyone turned into zombies except for the umbrella employees who were hiding underground."
In order to continue the experiment, the Umbrella Company built a protective wall to isolate the city of Seoul, driving the zombies to the perimeter of the wall, and the entire city of Seoul was actually empty. There are only the staff and you as the subject of the experiment, which is why you weishenme do not see people on the street. ”
Is there a year difference between the current time and the situation you know?
It's no wonder that Zhang Yang was still wondering how the umbrella built such a huge city, and it was no wonder that he couldn't see any other survivors on the street except for zombies and a few clones, and suddenly, Zhang Yang heard something and asked with some hesitation.
In other words, most of the scenes I have experienced before are real, and this is the case in Seoul. Then the shiyan scene I was in before was also isolated by these walls on the basis of the restoration of the original city? ”
"Well, by the end of 2004, the entire earth had been infected. When you were testing in Shanghai before, because of the huge population of Huaxia. It also saves a lot of survivors. The Umbrella created a sizable number of clones based on them, and that Shiyan was the largest ever made, using many large bio-chemical weapons, and Zuihou "purified" them with three 200,000-ton nuclear warheads. ”
Although there was no expression on King Ada's face, there was still a sense of regret in her voice, despite the most brutal training she had undergone since childhood. She has been working for the umbrella since she became an adult, but she still has pure Chinese blood in her body.
"That's right." King Ida looked at the watch in his hand, which showed the current time, and then said:
"Two and a half more hours. The 100,000-ton yield nuclear warhead from the US military base in South Korea will be automatically launched to Seoul for the so-called "purification", before we occupied here, the umbrella people had activated the nuclear warhead, and now it is in a state of standby lock-on, not accepting any operational orders from the outside world, fortunately, the "Red Queen" cannot invade the nuclear warhead to let it be launched in advance, so we still have some time to take the initiative to evacuate here, and the planes of others will also leave. ”
At this time, Zhang Yang saw that in the park where he set off, there was a square about 1,000 meters long, which was artificially modified to become the best take-off runway, and a huge Boeing plane had taken off, and it could be seen that there were still people constantly evacuating from the church, and hurriedly boarded the plane.
The Osprey has climbed to a steady altitude and is gradually moving away from Seoul, and as the closest departure point to the Russian border, South Korea is clearly faster than from New York, and Wesker asked Zhang Yang and Zhang Yang to depart, taking this into account.
From here, you can vaguely see the sea in the distance, there is no longer the blue of the past, all of them are tinged with a faint gray, and from time to time you can see the rotten whale skeleton jumping out of the sea, the T virus killed them, but not completely killed them.
In a way, the T-virus caused the sixth mass extinction of the planet. (If you are interested, you can search for the first five mass extinctions on your own.) )
Zhang Yang retracted his gaze, no longer looked outside, and began to carefully observe the drawing with King Ada, this drawing was sold by the former Soviet Union when the umbrella company bought this dock, and Wesker didn't know how to get this drawing, which provided a clue for the invasion of Zhang Yang and the two.
Zhang Yang noticed that the lower right corner of this drawing marks the date of construction, which was first excavated in 1960, officially built in 1982, and is expected to be completed in 1992, and the construction of this dock was 9 years old until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the end of the Cold War.
And next to the construction date, there is a string of letters written in Russian, Zhang Yang asked King Ada tentatively, fortunately, when King Ada was training, he was already proficient in eight foreign languages such as English, Russian, German, etc., and this string of Russian transliteration turned out to be a person's name.
"Earthen pot Ostrovsky?"
Listening to this strange name, Zhang Yang realized that this guy was actually a political commissar of the former Soviet Union, in charge of the construction of this dock, and King Ida took out a yellowed document from a small box next to him, which was densely written in Russian.
King Ida looked at these documents and explained to Zhang Yang:
"Yes, according to the translation, the whole life should be Serov . Picture jar. Ostrovsky, and his own nickname is earthen pots, there is no mistake in my translation, according to this secret information of the KGB, this earthen pot sky is the rank of colonel, the former political commissar of the Soviet shipyard construction base, Gorbachev's confidant, after the Soviet-American "cold war", during Khrushchev's large-scale corn planting, he secretly signed this dock document in 1960, but because of the jishu reasons at that time, it took 5 years to dig in the early stage alone, In the middle, Brezhnev and others terminated this project for a time during their tenure. ”
"It was only after Gorbachev took office in 1982 that this jihua was restarted, and this colonel, who directly belonged to Gorbachev, was designated as the head of the dockyard, and for the next nine years, he was responsible for overseeing the construction of this base, and at present, Russia's largest and largest known nuclear submarine - the Typhoon-class ballistic missile nuclear submarine, two of the six are secretly built here."
Listening to the content of this material, Zhang Yang couldn't help but be amazed: At the beginning, the two superpowers, the Soviet Union and the United States, entered a state of "cold war" after the end of World War II, and the two sides vigorously developed industrial and military weapons.
The Soviets flew into outer space for the first time, and the Americans landed on the moon, and after that, the space industry developed by leaps and bounds.
"This earthen pot is exactly what we should pay attention to in this operation."
Ida Wang looked at the rest of the information with a little headache:
"After the end of the Cold War, this earthen pot sky chose to commit suicide with a gun, and he stayed in this dock for 9 years to rest in peace, but in his hands there was an elite Soviet army, about the strength of a regiment, very well-equipped, before that, in order to prevent the construction information of the Typhoon-class ballistic missile nuclear submarine from being leaked, after the submarine was built, all the workers and craftsmen were secretly executed by this unit."
Zhang Yang seemed to think of something, his face changed slightly, and he hesitated.
"You're saying ...... that in the current base, there are likely to be a large number of dead workers, and it is very likely that they have become zombies under the infection of the T virus?"
"It's pretty much the same, and probably more serious than we expected."
In order to save Alice safely this time, Wesker can be said to have made sufficient preparations, collecting all the information that can be investigated, King Ida rummaged through other documents in the box, and then read the contents of one of the documents, covering his forehead with a headache.
"Sure enough, there are as many as 1,200 craftsmen involved in the construction of nuclear submarines, including 600 ordinary workers, and the number of this defense force is strictly controlled at about 1,200, although the number is slightly smaller than that of the regular regiment, but it is equipped with a large number of sophisticated weapons, and there is absolutely no problem in monitoring these 1,800 workers."
"Can you find out where this army went? Could it be...... Stay in the dockyard, that's not good news. ”
The news brought by King Ida is simply terrible, originally Zhang Yang thought that ordinary zombies would be restricted by the environment and could not directly enter the bottom of the sea, after all, they were surrounded by thick ice, hidden in the mountains, and hundreds of kilometers around were probably deserted, but Zhang Yang did not expect that these ordinary Soviet workers who had already died had become a huge hidden danger in this operation.
"I'm sorry, you guessed it."
King Ida shrugged helplessly, also a little depressed, as if his luck in this trip was not very good.
"After the suicide of this unit in Tucansky, because of the distance from the outside residential area, after Gorbachev handed over power to Russian President Boris Yeltsin, the Soviet Union officially collapsed, and the soldiers who received the news through the radio could not accept the cruel reality of the collapse of the Soviet Union, so they activated the blockade system of the base, completely blocked the passage between the base and the outside, and then committed suicide en masse."
