Chapter 67: The Sins of the Past
"Be careful!" A shout echoed through the deepest part of the Hoover Dam, followed by a loud bang and a strong flash of blue.
Waist-deep green water reverberates, a large amount of strange-smelling steam wafts through 1C, and the burst of energy from Hercules' power fist causes the sewage in front of him to evaporate along with the organism.
Beatrice stood up from the green water and saw that the monsters that had surrounded the people had dissipated.
"Oh..... Meng and Little Bubbles...."Andy slowly lowered his arms, and since they came down to this hidden place, these monsters have appeared one by one, some are huge mutant leeches or aggressive mutant fish, and some are the unknown fusion of the FEV virus and strange monsters floating in the air that they encountered before.
Beatrice tried to appease them again, but the lack of food was no match for Andy's temptation to these monsters, and they eventually ignored Beatrice and surrounded Andy.
After they had gathered enough, Andy decided to use the power of the Hercules Power Fist to sweep them away in one fell swoop, and the results were remarkable.
"There should be no obstacle now, let's find out if there's anything left here." Mark looked left and right, and immediately noticed a white skeleton in the corner, he was supposed to be wearing some clothes, but after years of immersion in those green waters, there was only a little undistinguishable residue left of these textiles.
He walked over and saw a badge that had been completely rusted and unrecognizable.
"There's a skeleton found here, but it doesn't look like there's anything meaningful left around him, so look around." Beatrice stood in the green water and seemed a little resentful, and it seemed that she was really fond of the ones she was called
"Ah Meng" or
"Little Bubbles" mutant monsters, but no one except super mutants likes mutant monsters that can give people nightmares and are vicious.
Andy walked slowly in the water, and the tattered trench coat soaked in the water finally made him unbearable, so he tore the unsightly garment and threw it away, revealing the Hermes battle armor inside.
At this moment, he saw at a glance that there was a terminal on a table in the corner, and miraculously the terminal was still flashing, which meant that it was not broken, and it was connected to the energy source normally.
Andy greets Mark, and then tries to open the terminal, which is surprisingly unlocked.
After opening, a prompt pops up on the internal page of the terminal telling Andy that this is an entertainment terminal, which is specially designed for people who work here to use this terminal to play mini-games in their leisure time, and there are many classic pre-war mini-games built in.
One of the most popular is one called
"bA threat", there is also a product called
The game of "Aunt Barbarian's Ruby Ruby" was also opened and played; There are more people playing in the former, looking at the record ranking, there are four users who have played, and the latter seems to be only one person playing, but the game time is quite long, and there seems to be a loyal player who is addicted to it.
Andy felt that the idea of standing waist-deep in the sewage soaked in the debris of the charred monster and playing the terminal games was a bit too stupid, so he didn't have the slightest interest in playing these games, but he noticed that he could exit the cartridges of these mini-games from the terminal, so he took out the game cartridges and took them all away, so that he could sell a few bottle caps if he met a suitable buyer outside, and it was really not good to keep them for when he was bored.
After exiting all game cartridges, the terminal's game interface closes and is replaced by another one called The program of the "diary". As soon as you open it, a prompt message that has been artificially set pops up.
[To the silly hat who saw this: Don't forget to clean up all the entries here regularly, the last time Colonel Babel inspected the laboratory, he almost found out that entering entries containing sensitive information into unmonitored and unsecured terminals without permission is a serious violation of laboratory secrecy, if you don't want to get into big trouble, remember this for me, don't always expect me to wipe your ass for the three of you!]
After skipping this automatic pop-up message, Andy saw that the terminal was not blank, and there were a lot of things densely written in it, some of which seemed to be meaningless curses and sighs, some of which were like memos, and some of which were messages and dialogues with the nature of a game, and the last one that looked at the time was relatively new and not even written in the title.
"It looks like they're really boring." Mark stood aside and watched for a moment, then didn't seem to be very interested.
"But this is also human nature, people are the same at all times, and it seems that expecting everyone to obey the command and follow the rules has never seemed to be an unrealistic luxury." He went elsewhere to look for other useful things, and Andy was more interested in the information left by these staff, so he clicked through them one by one.
The first one seems to be the nonsense of several people. [Trapped in a small room underground, the repeated failures day after day are definitely a future that I could not have imagined before I graduated from my Ph.D., and the working environment of the dignified mIt Biochemistry Ph.D. is so miserable, I sincerely wish that the birdman who initiated this research project and set the laboratory site in the deepest part of the Hoover Dam will die as soon as possible.
There are two more comments under this message. [Good scolding, I suggest that next time Colonel Babel comes here to check the results of the experiment, I believe that the three of us are capable enough to create some small surprises for him, such as severe diarrhea that lasts for more than a week, remember to keep it a secret from the old-fashioned Smith, if he, the director of the laboratory, knows about it, I'm afraid I'll jump in fright.]
【Two dear friends,You should clearly know that this terminal does not have a password,Anyone can open it casually and see these bad remarks,Although the regular internal political censorship generally does not affect us,But please don't ask for trouble, okay?]
Andy thought these conversations were interesting, more than a hundred years ago, there should have been four scientists in this secret laboratory to conduct some highly secret experiments, but the content of the experiments was not as interesting as the jokes and chatters of these guys, thinking that they might have created those monsters..... The second article is much more serious.
[I heard from a soldier that they had been sent to a boat to participate in a special mission somewhere in Lake Mead, something had been thrown underwater, and divers had gone underwater, and it was said that something strange-looking had been brought up from under the water; The result of me telling other people about this is that they told me not to gossip all day, what is that?
Haven't they thought about strengthening their minds' ability to connect? The never-before-seen tissue fragments of unknown organisms that were sent over before, as well as the location of our small laboratory, I believe that all of this is not a coincidence.
The third one is a bit scary. [Dick, I saw you hiding in the corner.]
"Barbecue", it may not be appropriate to say it to your face, anyway, you come to this terminal every day to play with your aunt's ruby ruins, and delete it yourself after seeing it.
The laboratory regulations clearly stipulate that it is not allowed to dispose of laboratory animals without authorization, especially those that have already been experimented.
No one can figure out what will happen after the meat is roasted and eaten, and you can do this kind of thing by eating a pitbull that has been injected with the FEV virus, and say that you feel more powerful after eating, move your head and think about what this might be for?
I've seen reports from Huntersville that describe the reactions of people who are living with the FEV virus, and guess what happens if you eat a barbecue half-baked?
If you're really that idle, keep eating more of your mantat, and don't try to kill people.
Andy watched for a moment, silently turned off the terminal, turned around and went looking for Mark, and finally found him in another corner, and he seemed to have found a working terminal again.
Patting him, Mark leaned sideways and motioned for Andy to take a look as well.
"This terminal is supposed to be their work supplies, and it does have some useful information in it, and it's a little bit more difficult to crack it." Andy leaned over and looked at it carefully, most of the content is a phased experiment log, these experiment logs continue to describe the scientists here in the use of FEV virus recombinant biological genes to create new mutant organisms attempts, although the number of experiments is amazing, but the success rate is unbelievably low, it can be said that they have almost been failing in the early stage, and all the experimental subjects have died for various strange reasons.
This kind of continuous and infinite failure is not just a few months, in fact, they have not achieved anything for several years, but the name of the experimental site mentioned in some experiment logs is obviously not the current terminal is located in the Hoover Dam underground level 1C, but other unknown code name site, so this experiment should have been circulating in multiple sites, and the experimental data has also been transmitted and inherited among the multiple experimental teams.
Around the year 2075, the experiment was supposed to have been moved from elsewhere to 1c, and the four scientists who took over the project continued to experience failures during the first year, and according to the description in the experiment log, the goal of the experiment was to create mutant organisms with special functions using the FEV virus.
These mutant creatures are required to be able to cause great panic and completely destroy the ecosystem when released into an enemy country, which means that the creatures must have terrifying habits and appearances, and have a strong ability to adapt to the environment.
In 2076, in what appears to be a reaction to the failure of the experimental group, a number of live biological samples were delivered to the site in order to help scientists here understand how to use the FEV virus to create living organisms that are capable of living things, rather than waste products that die at birth.
There are several documents detailing the mutant creatures that have been sent. [Project Code: Floater] [Item Number: 8] [Project Description: A large soft invertebrate special mutant creature developed by Western Science and Technology in 2075 using a sea flatworm, with long-term survival and reproductive ability, the organism can produce a toxic gas in its own body and store the gas in a special organ in its body, currently called
The "buoyancy sac" may have been originally a bladder. This mutation gives the creature the ability to fly, and its skin is fairly resilient, and has been shown to be outstanding against small-caliber live-fire weapons, but the creature is less resistant to heat and energy weapons, and may explode if it comes into contact, so this needs to be carefully guarded against.
The creature does not have a brain in its body, only the basic ganglia in the arch of the head to distinguish friend from foe, and has been shown to be incapable of group tactical thinking in combat tests, nor can it accept complex commands, and will only instinctively gather and attack hostile targets after they are spotted.
The subsequent experiment log has undergone a drastic change, from the previous aimless random experiments to genetic analysis and imitation experiments on these floating people, and in the process, it is also mentioned that another test subject sent by Western Technology has been confirmed to be successful, that is, the FEV virus was injected into the Pitbull
"Super Dog". Pitbulls unexpectedly adapted to the modification of the FEV virus, but in general the mutation was not obvious, only slightly increasing the individual's muscle mass and size, and changing the skin color to green.
Even Andy knew that the SA military and government were always secretly doing these dangerous bastards before the war, after all, once the experiment here went wrong, I am afraid that the results of the experiment would have to give SA a heavy blow before destroying the enemy ecosystem like ideally, but the experiment became more and more excessive, and even began to march all the way to the end of the madness of dehumanization.
