Chapter 314: The person in charge
Walking at high altitudes for long periods of time is highly susceptible to hypoxia, and we not only have to walk into the mountains, but also brave heavy snowfall.
Gu Yu put an air mask on everyone's head, trying to store more oxygen inside, even so, Luo Luo still had symptoms of hypoxia after walking for half an hour.
If she continued to walk, she would probably die, and I again advised her to give up and go back to the processing plant to rest, but she shook her head weakly and refused to go back.
Luckily, we relied on Ren's ability to guide us, so we wouldn't make a mistake, but if we continued like this, it was a question of whether Luo Luo would make it to the base alive.
Visibility was very low due to the snowstorm, and with Ren's ability guiding underground, we still had to climb mountains and mountains on the ground.
Luo Luo's physical fitness is not good, she has fallen into a semi-comatose state, and we don't have oxygen cylinders with us, let alone medicine to deal with altitude sickness.
"Can you send her back alone?" Gu Yu looked at Luo Luo lying on the snow and asked Xun Bishan.
"Yes." Xun Bishan's mutated physical strength is also much stronger than before, even if she doesn't mutate, it is not a problem for her to carry a little girl for an hour, but when she is in the underground cave, she drags me to run like a fly.
"No!" Luo Luo's half-closed eyes opened suddenly, and he shouted, "I'm not going back, I'm going to save my brother-"
Ah Ren was frightened by her shout and took a step back, he could hear a second voice that we couldn't hear, maybe this one was particularly terrifying, and Ah Ren's face changed.
"If you can't hold on to the base, you'll die halfway, and if you die, we'll give up the search and rescue." Gu Yu said mercilessly.
Luo Luo's eyes suddenly widened, her eyes were resentful, like an angry poisonous snake, she pushed away Xun Bishan beside her, and sat up straight.
Xun Bishan didn't press her, but took two steps back with her thrust, I haven't told Xun Bishan about Luoluo being controlled, she must now feel that Luoluo is not quite right, so stay away from her.
"I do what I say." Gu Yu didn't let go, he didn't speak loudly, and his tone didn't fluctuate much, but we knew that he would really do what he said.
If it was Luo Luo, when the two sides talked about this step, she should give up the struggle and go back to the processing plant to wait for news, but this Luo Luo in front of us sneered:
"Give up? Will you give up your chance at eternal life? Luo Luo smiled cruelly, her demeanor at this moment was similar to usual, not at all like the little girl we knew.
None of us answered her question, just exchanged glances and waited for her to continue.
Luo Luo didn't seem to expect us to pick her up, her gaze turned to look into the depths of the mountains, and sighed faintly: "Eternal life...... The eternal life that many people have asked for but cannot ask for is there. ”
We can understand that she wants to enter the Snow Mountain Base like crazy, not to save her brother, because the person who is talking now is not Luo Luo.
"You're talking about infinitely regenerating cells." Gu Yu suddenly spoke.
Luo Luo's head twisted back with a 'click', and I was even worried that she would move too fast and violently, and she would break her neck.
"You know? Do you know it? ”
"Who are you, you are not Luoluo, if you don't tell the truth, we will turn around and go back immediately."
Gu Yu never plays false, he will do it when he says it, Xun Bishan and I naturally stand on the united front with him, not to mention Ah Ren, he has already stood by Gu Yu's side and made his position clear with practical actions.
"Me? I'm just a wisp of a wandering spirit......" Before Luo Luo could finish speaking, Gu Yu gestured at me, meaning to let me knock Luo Luo unconscious.
"Don't-" Luo Luo covered his head and said hurriedly, "Don't stun me, I'm the person in charge of the containment center, and I know where the original IM plant is stored." ”
Gu Yu's interrogation of people is skillful, and there is already a gap in this person's psychological defense, and the next questioning will be much smoother.
This man admits that he controlled Luoluo, but he is not a psychic powerhouse, he has long since lost his body, and the only remaining thoughts have come to the processing plant through the east wind of last night's 'ghost crying', and he needs a medium to convey information and move.
So when 'Ghost Cry' appeared, he quietly invaded Luoluo's brain, affecting her emotions, or rather, stimulating her negative emotions.
I really can't think of any words to define him, maybe as he himself said, he was just a first-floor wanderer, trying to accomplish what he wanted most in life.
He could not move an inch without the help of movable energy, and Gu Yu asked him how he could achieve eternal life if his physical body was destroyed.
"My body is rotten, but a part of it is still alive." "You know, as long as one cell is alive, it can be regenerated. ”
As the head of the shelter center, he said that although the shelter is part of a military base, it is governed by autonomy, and the person in charge is elected by the survivors, and is generally the most credible person.
"The military has always been secretive, they don't know what they're studying, they're only responsible for the security of the shelter, and nothing else." Luo Luo's expression was like an old man who was stuck in memory, chattering about those things she was not used to, "Actually, life is not easy inside, we and the military are like two families living in the same courtyard." ”
Compared with being homeless, it was already a blessing in misfortune to be able to live in the same courtyard with the military, and if he let the refugees in Changshi hear this, he would have to be beaten to death with a stick.
Of course, the ending of the Snow Mountain Base was not good, Gu Yu asked him if the survivors of the shelter had escaped, and a trace of horror suddenly flashed in Luo Luo's eyes.
She pursed her lips for a while before she said, "You can't run away, I told them not to run away, and only by hiding like me can they have a chance to live, but they won't listen." ”
"You can use robots?" Xun Bishan asked in surprise.
Luo Luo shook his head: "No, it's all a trick played by the military, I worked as a husband at a university in a neighboring province, and when I entered the detention center, in order to get better treatment, I said that I was a university teacher." ”
I understand the purpose of Xun Bishan's question, since this person can't use robots, it proves that he is not the survivor we are looking for, maybe there are more living people in the base than we thought.
The man said that everyone was embarrassed at the time of registration, and that no one had checked the authenticity of the information reported, and that he knew the situation at the university very well, so he was assigned to a slightly better living quarter, according to his occupation.
After all, people were still full of hope for the future, believing that the disaster would soon pass, and when social order was restored and the city was rebuilt, intellectuals like them would be scarce talents in the country.
There are more than 3,000 survivors in the center, less than 10 teachers, and he is the only university teacher, who is still impersonating.
As a result, he was elected as the person in charge and presided over the daily affairs of the survivors, but in fact, the military was in charge, and the survivors lived in peace, and there were no major matters that required him to make decisions.
Within a few days of the good days, there was an accident at the base, and some of the survivors kept missing, and he went to the military to report the situation, but in the end nothing was found.
Until December 22, nearly 100 survivors had disappeared from the shelter, causing panic and repeated calls to leave, but the military announced that a new virus had leaked and rejected the survivors' requests to leave.
Just two hours after the military announced the leak of the new virus, the shelter was completely out of control, and the survivors were attacked by unknown creatures, and the crowd scattered and became prey for unknown creatures.
Luo Luo sighed: "Fortunately, I didn't run away, I hid back in my room." ”
Fleeing to be killed by an unknown creature, hiding back in the room and starving to death, I don't think any way to die is lucky, this person is probably trapped alive in the room.
So the man didn't know what the unknown creature was, and he hid back in his room from the beginning of the chaos and never took a step out of the door until he died.
"I can hear the sounds, the sound of dragging corpses, they drag dead people away, but it's strange that they don't open locked doors."
I think what he meant was that the unknown creatures would only push the door, but not turn the doorknob, so they wouldn't have a high IQ.
"Is it a dark shadow?" Xun Bishan asked.
"Yes, it's just some shadows, they're too fast, but ......" Luo Luo showed a confused look, "The voices outside also disappeared quickly, there were thousands of people, and it was completely quiet after only a few minutes, I don't think there are many black shadows." ”
Perhaps his identity has been revealed, and this person who claims to be the head of the containment center no longer looks at us with resentful eyes, and he talks more than before.
"Are there any survivors in there?" Gu Yu asked.
"As long as someone hides like me and can get food, there are a lot of supplies at the base." Luo Luo talked for a long time, and his breath was a little out of breath, and after speaking, he fell back into the snow and fell into a semi-comatose state.
It seems that this wisp of geisms can only stimulate people's emotions, but not their potential, I said to Ah Ren, "See, this ghost is very weak. ”
A ghost who will fall into a coma, what else is there to be afraid of?
The fear in Ah Ren's eyes had receded, and he patted his chest with a smile, "Leave it to me, I'll take care of her." ”
"He can show you the way." Xun Bishan said, "You should take him in." ”
If you bring the spirit in, you will take Luo Luo in, which may kill her, Gu Yu and I shook our heads in disapproval, and said no.
"You have forgotten that his mind needs a medium to move, and if Luo Luo can't get in, how can his mind return to its body? Only if the physical body is reborn, he will become a walking corpse, and then he will also have to take revenge on Luo Luo. ”
Gu Yu looked at me and asked, "Can you separate his mind?" ”
It's a new endeavor, but it shouldn't be difficult for me, and I didn't even notice it last night.
Although his mind invaded Luo Luo's brain, it was not original in the end, as long as it was not a mysterious thing, I could completely extract it.
And when I probed into Luoluo's brain, it turned out that my 'crow's beak' worked again, and there were no extra brain waves in her brain.
