Chapter 211: Heading South

Banner heard the commotion, turned around, and gave Duncan a gentle smile, nodding politely at Alex in his jacket and hood.

"Are you here to check my research?"

Alex froze in place, surprised to see the mild-mannered giant in the lab speak fluent English with a New York accent.

"I'll see the results later, I'll introduce you to one person, Alex Mercer."

Glancing at Alex quietly, Duncan tapped him on the shoulder and pointed to Banner, "Dr. Bruce Banner, a genius with seven PhDs, is currently working on vaccines for several viruses. As you can see, there are some minor conditions in his body, and like you, I believe you should have something in common. ”

Dr. Banner is fearful, but he likes to make friends very much, he crossed the aisle that was very cramped compared to his current size and came to the three of them, with a very kind smile on his green face, and stretched out a big hand to Alex, "Alex, it's nice to meet you." ”

“…… Me too, Dr. Banner. ”

After raising his head to face Dr. Banner, Alex realized more fully the difference between the person standing in front of him and the ordinary person, and reached out to shake the kind-faced doctor, and the force from his hand was very gentle, very consistent with the appearance, but very different.

Duncan smiled with satisfaction, actually, this was also arranged in advance.

Before the two met, he had already told Banner some things about Alex, and his words were somewhat instructive.

With the current Banner good guy character, facing a person who is facing a similar situation to him who has been displaced, he will have empathy, take the initiative to build a good relationship with Alex, and use the superhero set to instill Alex with his own philosophy.

In this way, Alex will be able to correct his personality and serve the company well after joining the company.

"Dr. Banner, you should check Alex's mental state first."

Seeing that the two had completed the most basic communication, Duncan asked the two to have more contact and create opportunities, as if he wanted to match a pair of men and women.

Banner then helped Alex do a psychiatric test.

The device is not the type of helmet that the average person would imagine, but a separate sealed capsule filled with sensors in every corner, and when the instrument is turned on, the computer will plot the detected stream of consciousness into a spectrum of lines that are unique to each person.

If you have suffered brain damage, it will indirectly affect the integrity of the mind, and it is a device made by the superpower development laboratory for the purpose of studying superpowers.

Alex lay down in the cabin for about five minutes, and after climbing out of the cabin, he couldn't wait to look in Banner's direction.

Banner waved his hand to signal that he could come over and take a look, then pointed to one of the more chaotic parts of the colorful distorted line map on the holographic screen, and said to Alex: "Look here, these lines are the lines that make up your spirit, which can also be said to be the soul of your soul, and the integrity of the spiritual level involved in the normal or not of the brain should be a complete sphere form, but you are missing a piece here." ”

Alex didn't know much about this, and he was a little unaware.

"This is Alice's spirit chart, and her spirit is very strong and very complete." Banner saw that Alex didn't know much about this kind of advanced knowledge, so he could only call up a normal person's mental line map and compare it with him.

If Alex's line chart is a ball of yarn twisted into a ball, Alice's spirit line chart is a curve arranged in a regular pattern.

With the obvious contrast, Alex also understood the difference between himself and normal, and suddenly he pointed to the corner of Alice's line drawing, where there were also some areas that looked like twisted twists, which formed a sharp contrast with the other neat areas.

"Isn't it normal here, too?"

Banner looked at Alex's finger and nodded: "Yes, everyone's spirit will be somewhat abnormal, the complete model only exists in the conception, Alice once had some mental impact caused by memory confusion, so there is a greater mutation here." ”

This knowledge beyond common sense fascinates Alex, but he still has a question he wants to know, "What is the origin of such a magical technology?" ”

He has now accepted the fact that he has lost his memory, and in order to seek peace of mind, and in order to completely convince himself, he must know that this is not a temporary "psychological comfort technique" made up to trick him.

As long as the reason was slightly plausible, Alex would believe it, and he looked Banner in the eye wistfully.

Banner didn't answer immediately, but looked at Duncan, who was leaning against the table and watching silently.

Ignoring the opacity, Duncan explained to Alex: "This technology is a by-product of the birth of superpowers, and my scientists have found that it can be used not only to observe changes in superpowers, but also to observe a wider range of mental fluctuations, anger, joy, sadness, despair, ...... They created a magical machine that could see souls. ”

"Superpowers?"

Alex heard a word that even a prototype like him felt magical, a fairy-tale noun that only appears in fantasy works?

Is reality more outrageous than fantasy? That's fine.

Duncan gave Alice a look, and the latter understood.

The blue hole was abnormally enlarged and contracted, and Alex, who was a few meters away, felt a force that did not belong to him lift him up, and before he could react, the force disappeared, and he slammed back to the floor.

"Do you feel it? That's superpower. ”

Met with Alex's bewildered and shocked gaze, Duncan completed an important part of persuasion, and now he was convinced of technology and superpowers.

Duncan then leaves under the pretext of something to do, leaving Alex in the lab for Dr. Banner to communicate with him.

After the absence of Duncan and Alice, Alex and Banner talked for a long time, and Banner also told Alex a lot about his previous life as a homeless, which gave Alex a lot of inspiration to the inexperienced Alex.

They talked from noon to afternoon, and it was almost dark before it ended.

Alex said goodbye to Dr. Banner and, instead of getting on a plane, jumped directly from a height of several thousand meters and glided towards the shelter below.

Today he has gained a lot, he has met a friend who is like a life coach, a friend who is also rejected by his peers, but still follows his heart, is kind to the world, is not influenced by outsiders, always implements his own philosophy, and never abuses his power to hurt others.

Alex joined the Vault, but not the Umbrella Corporation, and his arrival didn't change anything.

The Vault is still being built at a very high rate, but the planes from the Coalition side will occasionally come over and drop some paper research materials, and maintain basic contact with the Vault.

Twenty days later, with a lonely mushroom cloud rising over New York City, there were only a few million people left in the once most powerful country, building shelters, scrambling for supplies, and chaos in the vast expanse......

At this time, the surviving Commander was still hiding in the Doomsday Bunker in Washington State, and at the same time did not forget to speak out on the international stage, asking all countries to cooperate and help each other to bring some food to Washington.

Then he was immediately severely criticized, the food did not arrive, and a lot of face was lost.

Now there is no financial system, and the world is about to return to the era of barter.

If the pre-disaster currency is taken out again, even the most stable areas of order will not be able to buy anything, and if it were not for the fear that some people will lose their minds, they will dare to point at the nose of the Grand Commander and laugh.

It must have been the undead of the Indians who led the way for the zombies, and you were the hardest hit!

At present, the sky is the only place that has not been occupied by zombie life, and countries can only communicate with each other by plane, and the alliance has taken out a lot of things at the bottom of the box, urgently recalled a group of scientists, and used those weapons and equipment that are very characteristic of the Cold War.

Huge ground-effect aircraft are shuttling through the ocean, assisting ordinary people in various regions to evacuate.

The latest statistics on human survival have come out, the original population of nearly 8 billion, there may still be 1.1 billion left, most of them are scattered in remote towns and villages with a small number of people, and some counties with small populations and large areas have also survived a lot of people, and countries are actively rescuing.

The last edition of the zombie movement report showed that there were three main source points, one was New York and several surrounding states in the United States, and the other was most of the population gathering area in India, and finally the Empire.

These three places are the most affected and the biggest drivers of the spread of the virus.

Especially in New York and Pennsylvania in the United States, and Mumbai and Delhi in India, the zombies in these places have the fastest and deadliest expansion of zombies.

Asana chose to lie down, completely uncontrolled the spread of the epidemic, and allowed the corpses to rot and grow maggots in the streets and alleys.

In addition to these few places, as the parasite zombies began to be known and taken seriously by international experts, the electric eel country has now become a special presence in the new version of the zombie movement report.

The zombies here are not ordinary zombies, but special parasitic zombies that are difficult to kill.

When Captain Gaden communicated with international experts, he compiled scientists' research and conjectures on the parasitic zombies of the electric eel country and sent it to the international forum, which immediately caused an uproar.

Multinational reconnaissance planes continue to fly over the territory of the electric eel country in order to verify the claims contained in the data.

As mentioned in the data, the zombies of the Electric Eel Kingdom have the characteristics of self-detonation, resistance to bullets, ejection of acid, ejection of spikes, collective consciousness and so on, and they will become the greatest enemy of mankind.

It is different from the unorganized and undisciplined, simply a large number of ordinary zombies.

Parasitic zombies with collective consciousness command and planned actions are a greater threat to humans, and their lethality will far exceed that of ordinary zombies, and they truly have the ability to drive humans to a dead end.

Whenever there is talk of parasitic zombies, the American Commander will always go offline silently......

After sending planes to repeatedly confirm that parasitic zombies do indeed have a certain degree of wisdom and cooperation, countries have been trying to send people to shelters, wanting to get more information and find a solution to the parasitic zombies.

Captain Gaden has repeatedly politely refused, saying that the shelter is not yet perfect, the experimental conditions are not good, and there are already effective means to deal with parasitic zombies, and other reasons have delayed the decision of other countries to forcibly send people over.

It's not that experts from other countries can't see the engineering robots walking in the shelter, just to lay some groundwork for the recovery plan.

The Source of Life Virus (L-Virus) is a special medicine against demonic worms, and Captain Garden is not too worried about the threat of parasites.

The parasites had tried to rally and attack the Vault many times before, but they had been stopped by the L-virus, and now they had broken south into the United States, or they were eating away at Mosugo to the west.

Because of the total collapse of the United States, the Black Watch and Army units guarding the border were completely shrinking, and they retreated to Washington State to protect the last people who needed to be protected.

It was just when the parasite army went south and west that various countries sent reconnaissance planes to the electric eel country to investigate on the spot, and they did not see the L virus killing parasitic zombies like a combine harvester.

If you want to have enough control over the world, it is essential to set up an enemy, and this enemy is undoubtedly the most suitable for the Demon Worm!

……

At present, the current population of the shelter has reached 100,000, and the huge land area of the Electric Eel Country cannot be taken care of by relying on a few thousand soldiers of the special operations forces.

The Vault will frequently broadcast broadcasts informing survivors of the location of the base, and because it is an indiscriminate broadcast, some people in countries adjacent to the Electric Eel Country have also received radios.

The will to survive drove them to the strongholds of the various squads, and then to the safety of the shelter with the help of the soldiers of the special operations forces.

After more than a month of construction, the first three floors of the shelter have been built, and in addition to the underground area, a high wall has been built on the surface area of the shelter.

The rather conspicuous Furnace of Hope has been moved underground, providing a constant supply of clean water for the Vault.

At this point, the shelters are on track.

Dr. Banner also applied his research results to the survivors of the Vault, an immune agent that can greatly enhance immunity in a short period of time, cure the common cold and fever, and avoid the bite and infection of zombies with small wounds.

At the same time, several scientists who had been studying demon worms for a month finally found a way to kill the eggs in the body, and rescued a young boy who had been sleeping for more than a month.

The method is as follows, inject a very slightly corrosive potion into the human body, and then stimulate it with a weak electric current after the potion swims in the blood, and finally pay attention to the body, fasting for two days, and you can save a young man with a large number of insect eggs in his body.

The technology was shared in international forums, and Mosu was ecstatic, but the United States said it was dispensable.

The Demon Worm's southward march has been severely hindered, and the Green Flu Zombies, who show no mercy except for their own kind, have unexpectedly become the first line of defense in the United States, bringing the world a zombie vs. zombie spectacle.

With a combination of special mutants that are more varied than the green flu zombies, the parasitic zombies temporarily gained the upper hand, and when the zombie tide advanced to New York State, the zombies of the black light virus also emerged, completely blocking the pace of the parasitic zombies.
