Chapter 591: The Source
This kind of voice recorder needs to install a battery to use, but there is no battery in it, perhaps the person who hid it is worried that the battery will rot if it is left in it for too long, which will affect the use of the voice recorder.
Gu Yu turned around and walked to the desk, and took out an unopened No. 5 battery from the drawer, the clock on the office wall needed this type of battery, but the hour hand had been fixed and had long since stopped moving.
This battery may be prepared for it, Gu Yu put the battery on the voice recorder and pressed the power button.
The old-fashioned electronic screen displayed black letters and basic data such as time and date, and Gu Yu found the recording files stored in it and viewed them in chronological order.
The last audio was recorded in February 2020, two years before the disaster, when such electronic devices were rechargeable, and almost no one would use this old model, and there were not many people on the market.
Maybe the owner of the voice recorder was a nostalgic person, or maybe he couldn't find other tools at the time, but it made it easier for us, and now batteries can still be found, but chargers with electricity are hard to find.
Gu Yu pressed the play button, intending to listen to the content of the last audio first, and immediately a few gasps came from the speaker, as if the person was having trouble breathing and was trying to accumulate enough oxygen to speak.
"There's no time, I've already started to ...... cough cough cough ......" Before he finished speaking, the man coughed violently.
"Lockers, lockers, 022... 022…… Ah- damn it, get out of here! The audio was short, just two sentences, ending with the man's screams and a loud crash, accompanied by some kind of beastly roar.
The person may have pressed the stop button in a hurry, and the audio file ends there.
Gu Yu moved the cursor to the earliest document, in January 2019, just after the New Year's Day holiday, the person who recorded the recording was still the man who screamed before.
It's just that in this audio, his voice sounds relaxed and happy, and there is a faint excitement in it, saying that he wants to secretly record a great moment.
He mentions experiments, human progress, fame, trophies, and after the excitement, the main content of the recording is a log of his observations.
He called the object he was observed, and he didn't say exactly what it was, the name was actually translated by me, and he spoke in English, which roughly meant that this substance could help all living things grow and evolve.
The man rarely mentioned anything other than 'all things are born', except on one occasion when he complained that his colleague Len had messed up the comparison data and needed him to reorganize it, wasting a precious morning of his time.
There are so many people named Len that I can't confirm that he's my 'old friend' based on one name alone.
However, in one of the audios, the person named Len suddenly knocked on the door during the recording, telling the recorder to go and see Subject 13, as if there was an emergency.
I could never mishear Len's voice, which was with me every day during my days at the center.
That's where the audio file begins to change its mood, and the owner of the audio has a name, Len calling him Dr. Huo.
From the excitement at the beginning, to the depression, sometimes there will be a minute-long blank in the audio.
It was Dr. Huo's silence, and the number of sighs increased, and Dr. Huo thought that the changes in the subject were not optimistic.
They are spiraling out of control, but others are taking the opposite view, and they don't understand Dr. Huo's concerns.
Dr. Huo demanded that the project be stopped immediately, that all test subjects be destroyed, and that only the Bioplasma be cryosealed until humans were able to drive it in the future.
It's just that his proposal was rejected, although he is the leader of the research team and the leader of the expert group, he is not the boss of the project and has no right to stop.
So Dr. Huo offered to resign, he was too naïve to think that he could still get out, and he was put under house arrest.
The voice recorder was the only personal belongings he could hide, and everything else was confiscated, including his research materials, laptops, and even sticky notes for hand-taking notes.
His decision to secretly record this great moment allowed the recorder to escape, and he tied it to the inner thigh with scotch tape, thankfully his men did not let him strip naked.
Even so, he didn't use it for three days, and he spent three days in silence in the secret room just to be on the safe side.
Three days later, his voice recorded what had happened in the past three days again, and he said that all things had been completely out of control, and the isolation suit and protective shield did not work at all.
They were everywhere, they were in his body, and he was pretty sure he was infected.
He used the word 'infection' for the first time, as if he had been holding on to a fluke mentality, and all descriptions of all things were positive, but he realized that this was not the case.
The negative effects of this kind of thing on humans are obvious, he doesn't know what will happen next, they haven't combined this substance with humans yet.
As such, the consequences were unpredictable, and he spoke of others disposing of dead subjects, believing that this would stop them from spreading.
The word spread always conjures up undesirable associations, such as plague or other epidemics, fire, or suffering.
But in fact, my associations are quite mild, and when Dr. Huo said to himself, they can invade all living things, including bacteria and viruses, and he specifically emphasized the word 'everying'.
And I don't think that dead things can mutate due to infection and cause death or other results, so I automatically understand the word to mean all living things.
Dr. Huo said that after burning all the subjects and infected people, the laboratory was sealed from the outside, and the living people inside could not get out.
From here, loud screams and curses can be heard in the background, someone banging on something, and occasionally gunshots.
People trapped in laboratories are like the ancient martyrs of the living, who can only wait to die in the 'grave'.
Dr. Huo, on the other hand, was the opposite of the people outside, he was agitated, angry, depressed and depressed at the beginning of his house arrest, but suddenly calmed down after the laboratory was closed.
Perhaps knowing that death was a fact, he calmed down and wrote down the changes in his body in detail, saying that he hoped that one day this recorder would be discovered, and if he could remind the original materials for future generations to study the 'life of all things', he would be blind to death.
The penultimate audio file, recorded seven days after Dr. Huo's infection, shows that his body is experiencing fever symptoms and that all living beings are constantly attacking his immune system.
He was alone in the chamber, no one outside could take care of him, no one to take care of him, no food or water, and the exclamation we heard was his last words.
Apparently something had broken into the room where he was under house arrest, a locked, sturdy room, which would have been smashed open by something?
And the low roar of the beast, Dr. Huo, who was so weak that he only had one breath left, was probably buried in the mouth of the beast.
If Dr. Huo had been killed, who brought the recorder out later?
He had mentioned that after he offered to terminate the experimental project, Len left abruptly and did not return until Dr. Huo was placed under house arrest.
Since Len was in the safe zone after the disaster, he must have gotten out alive, or rather, he didn't go back after he left, so he wasn't infected and didn't get trapped to death.
As for whether Len later returned to the lab and brought out the recorder, I don't think it's very likely, there is no reason for him to hide the recorder alone, and it is hidden in Minghe City.
Dr. Huo's research cannot be reproduced only by the content recorded in the voice recorder, and the more important information has been confiscated, and the voice recorder can only prove that there was an experiment.
So, this thing doesn't mean much to Len, he will lose it if he gets it, otherwise it will be destroyed, and there is no need to hide it.
The reason why Dr. Huo secretly recorded the audio must have been a confidentiality agreement signed before the start of the research, and the experiment and related content were not to be mentioned to anyone.
But he was too excited, too excited, to can't help but talk, so he used this method to vent his desire to speak.
If the boss behind the laboratory gets the voice recorder, he will definitely destroy it so that others will not know about the existence of all living things.
Then the person who will hide it is likely to have the opposite purpose of the boss behind the scenes, who wants to preserve evidence that this incident actually happened.
Unfortunately, the location of the lab is never mentioned in the audio, and it is estimated that it is in a very secret place.
There was such a big mess, and the outside world didn't hear any wind at all, so it was said that if there were people around the laboratory, they would have heard it a long time ago.
Gu Yu had a different view, saying that because the matter was too serious, the relevant direction would inevitably block the news so as not to cause panic.
Nine times out of ten, such experiments are illegal, and the negative effects are unpredictable, and even if the laboratory is later discovered, it will not be made public.
We have no way of knowing who is the boss behind the laboratory, but Dr. Huo's mouth is that all living things can mutate, and the voice recorder was found at the monitoring station in Minghe City, and the mutation in Minghe City is very special.
Therefore, I have reason to suspect that the location of the laboratory is in Minghe City, and the person who deliberately blew up the monitoring station may be trying to cover up this secret.
However, those with knowledge about the lab are still alive and want to continue to cover up evidence of its existence.
Although everyone who came out of the monitoring station was captured by the man-eating birds, who knows if the people who planted the explosives had accomplices elsewhere?
"Ah Yu, what you think, is it the same as what I think?"
"You're thinking about the microbial revolution."
"That's right, all things are born, it is very likely that it is the source of the microbial revolution, think about it again, this thing was not created by Dr. Huo, they found it, although he didn't say where it was found, but this thing may be from the Rubik's Cube building."
"The microbial revolution is global, and unless it's being studied all over the world at the same time, and then it gets out of control at the same time, there will be a process of contagion, and there will be no outbreaks at the same time."
"In 2019 and 2022, there are three years in between, and it has enough time to spread."
"The long diffusion period, the outbreak at the same time, the possibility you are talking about, the premise must be that it has this IQ."
