"T1 is in place! …”

"T2 is in position!"

……

"Zone C1, C2, C3 safety valves are closed!"

"The power delivery system is working properly!"

"The Life Support System Unit Module Operating Component has been activated!"

"C.4 area closure and isolation completed, air tightness test ......"

"The chemical protection coating in the C.4 area was damaged by 19.3%, and the air tightness test failed!"

"The power supply in the C.4 area is interrupted, all the experimental cabins in the area are lost, and the data transmission system is operating abnormally!"

The reports came to an abrupt end, and the hall, which had been a little noisy just now, became quiet at the moment, and even the sound of the pounding heartbeat became clearly audible. The people sitting in it seemed to be waiting for something, and as if they were afraid of disturbing something, they even became cautious about breathing......

The unbearable silence lasted only about half a minute.

Beckett rubbed his frowning brows and said in a calm and calm voice:

"The C.4 region releases 3 cardinal aerosol sedatives."

The assistant hesitated for a moment, then reminded softly, "Director, there is currently no way to obtain the vital signs and basic parameters of the subject in Area C.4, do you want to ...... Send someone with equipment to take samples first. ”

Based on the spatial volume, the mass of the subject, and the law of metabolism, even if the air tightness of the C.4 region is missing, and the dose is twice the normal value, there is a high probability of permanent damage to the function of the subject. This is a way to fish from the water, and it is also an unacceptable result for researchers who have put in a lot of hard work.

Although he said it implicitly, the meaning of his words was clearly questioning the rationality of Bennett's decision.

"Do as he says."

Bennett has yet to respond, and Alan Keynes has already answered for him. As the top decision-maker of the base, at this time, he unreservedly stood on Beckett's side.

"But ......"

Before the assistant could say something more, Bennett patted him lightly on the shoulder and stopped him with a determined gaze.

"Execute the order, and I will bear all the consequences!"

This unusual order was quickly carried out at the unanimous insistence of the person in charge of the first and second bases of the base.

Everyone in the hall was glued to the surveillance footage. The 3-base aerosol sedative flows rapidly through a specific pipe, quickly releasing a large white mist in the C.4 region.

It takes one minute for the tranquilizer to take effect. In the general control room, every second of waiting is extremely long.

Equipment in the C.4 area has been severely damaged and there is no real-time data available, and the effectiveness of this initiative can now only be judged by visual observation and supervisor experience.

At this time, another alarm sounded over:

"The spread of a gaseous substance suspected of being a potent sedative was detected in the C3 area, at a concentration of - 130%!"

The researchers' hearts clenched. The concentration leaking into the adjacent area is already the degree of eye exceedance, so the core area?

Many people's eyes gradually dimmed.

A minute finally passed. In the C.4 area, the six test subjects who rushed out of the experimental chamber collapsed one after another.

A serious accident was contained, but no one was glad about it. An invisible sense of loss permeated the crowded hall and infected everyone.

Beckett was still expressionless, and continued in a calm tone: "T1 and T2 teams escorted S11 teams into the C.4 area with equipment for on-site investigation, and transferred the test subjects to the reserve isolation chamber, authorized the use of Mithril weapons, and if necessary, they can judge whether they are ...... to be removed; The medical team prepares for emergency treatment; Other units will do their best to do a good job of auxiliary work. ”

"Roger!"

"Roger!"

Ten minutes later, more than a dozen fighters wearing black chemical protective suits and gas masks appeared in the C.4 area surveillance footage, armed with rifles, guarding two people wearing white chemical protective suits and holding suitcases.

The surveillance footage was still filled with white fog, which quickly obscured the trace of the special operations team. The only reassuring thing is that the communication channels are still open.

Stiff leather boots creaked and creaked against the shattered glass, and a third of the lighting in the area had failed, and a large shadow had taken over the area where the light had been lost.

Light and darkness are like a transparent film, clearly facing each other.

According to the division of labor, Lu Keming, the leader of the equipment team, is responsible for inspecting the damage to the equipment in the area, and Bai Linglong, another researcher, is responsible for environmental data testing and the state investigation of the experimental subject. The whole team revolved around them silently and in an orderly manner.

Lukeming first probed the situation in the experimental module, but his mood became heavier and heavier.

One was completely scrapped, four were severely damaged, two were moderately damaged, and without exception, the structural integrity of each chamber was severely damaged. The cost of these chambers is astronomical, and each one was specially customized by the base at great cost from a Federally renowned mechanical workshop. The base did not have enough spare parts and technical reserves to complete the repair.

Although he had expected the outcome before leaving, he was still severely shocked when such a serious loss was in front of him. A bunch of numerical formulas appeared in front of his eyes, silently quantifying the losses and turning them into cold numbers.

It is foreseeable that after this incident, the base's financial report this year will become even more miserable. He seemed to have seen the ugly faces and thunderous postures of the auditors of the Audit Committee when they learned of this.

Alas, Luke Ming sighed, quickly retracted his thoughts, and comforted himself, the troubles of the gold lord's father should be borne by themselves.

The good news is that the load-bearing structure of the C.4 module has not been severely damaged, but the chemical protection coating and some pipes have been damaged to varying degrees, which is still within acceptable ranges.

The central control system suffered a serious physical blow, the main engine was cut in half, and the LCD screen was shattered into a glass slag.

As a result, the C.4 area will need to undergo an overhaul of more than half a year before it can be operational again.

Lu Keming quickly reported the results of the preliminary assessment of the hardware facilities to the general control room. Then his work came to an end. The official launch of the on-site clean-up and repair work will only begin after the study of the base leadership, and considering the huge funding gap and the huge resistance that comes with it, Luke knows that the half-year estimate is still too optimistic.

The report of the loss of equipment was like a thick dark cloud, which lowered the air pressure in the general control room, and also turned into a boulder pressed on the chest of the head of the general office, Alan Keynes. He rubbed his temples with a faint pain, maybe it won't be long before he will be exiled to the Rose Manor by his family!

On the other side, Bai Linglong had already installed the data acquisition equipment in place, and the six test subjects were also equipped with special sensors by the guards.

The environmental data is quickly measured and shared on the detector screen in the main control room. Apart from ridiculously high fog sedative concentrations, there were no significant anomalies in the monitoring data.

Subject HZ0032 has a deranged genome, and his body has briefly entered a state of madness, and now has no vital signs. The direct cause of death is suspected to be core organ decay caused by cross-species organ transplantation.

The data on the vital characteristics of the surviving 5 subjects were also measured about a minute late, and their breathing and heartbeat were stable, and their brain waves entered a state of low activity, which could confirm that they were in a deep sleep. As for the condition of the body injury, Bai Linglong had just heard the equipment evaluation report of Lu Keming, and the site no longer had the conditions for inspection, so it could only be carried out by relying on more professional large-scale equipment.

After all, he didn't hear worse news, and Alan Keynes secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if it worked properly, he still had a chance to keep his position.

Only one test subject was lost, which was acceptable.

Beckett gave the order: "The backup test module is in place, and the transfer of test subjects can begin. ”

Three trailers with huge robotic arms slowly drove into the C.4 area, each with a cargo bucket large enough to carry two mutants.

The driver's skillful manipulation of the robotic arm quickly lifted all the subjects onto the vehicle, at which point a metal roof slowly rose from the rear of the body and covered the cargo bed, turning the cargo box into a closed cell.

The convoy slowly and quietly began to move.

When the trailer was passing through the elevator, the driver at the front suddenly stepped on the brakes, and the harsh brake light on the rear of the vehicle made everyone's hearts sink and the entire convoy was forced to stop.

Bai Linglong, who was following behind the convoy, walked over and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

The driver hesitated for a moment before he spoke, "I feel movement in the car." ”

Bai Linglong questioned, "It's your illusion!" We followed the whole time, didn't see anything out of the ordinary, and the body was smooth all the time. ”

As she spoke, her eyes turned to her companions.

Lukeming and the rest of the team nodded their heads, but they didn't see anything unusual.

The driver did not compromise because there was no support, but stubbornly insisted on his opinion, "There is really movement, my feeling can't go wrong!" ”

"It's like this......"

He reached out and pointed to the closed cargo bucket.

The others looked in the direction of his finger, and the huge body remained still.

Bai Linglong was not annoyed by the driver's suspicion, but she didn't want to continue to entangle, and said in a commanding tone: "Keep going!" ”

The real-time footage of the transport convoy appeared on the large screen simultaneously, and the many researchers who were watching intently did not pay attention to the driver's words, because they did not see anything unusual about the body.

Only Beckett gave a thoughtful look.

"Move, ......move," he muttered.

The driver was usually silent, but he was loyal and had never done anything unscrupulous. He must have made a discovery when he said this with such certainty. And this discovery, no one else, including myself, is unaware of.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and he remembered a rumor about the driver.

"Infrasound—"

The assistant next to him didn't react for a moment, "What did you say?" ”

Beckett didn't say anything more, but quickly pulled up the audio monitoring channel from the screen.

Magnify!

Zoom in again!

Sure enough, there is a situation!

When the driver speaks, in addition to the sound of the team members talking, there is a special low-frequency sound source in the audio track, which is lower than the minimum limit that the human ear can capture. That's why only the driver can hear him, because he has a congenital malformation of the cochlear structure and can hear sounds that no one else can hear from an early age.

The assistant's eyes were fixed on the screen, and he said the question of everyone present, "This sound source...... Where did it come from? ”

He suddenly remembered something, and asked himself, "Subject! ”

Beckett also thought about it, and even the brain thought more and more long-term than the assistant. His complexion changed suddenly, and his body suddenly bounced.

"Not good!"
