Chapter 86: Big Brother, My Own People!
In order to reach McMalen, Alex went to a military base near the USS Reagan.
By absorbing the memories of a Black Watch commander, he learns:
The virus detection equipment that was originally installed around the Janetek building was developed by McMullen, and now the technology has been upgraded to a more portable version of the drone.
It is capable of detecting 1/100,000 concentrations of viruses in the air.
With these keen drones, Black Watch has developed a corresponding capture plan.
Alex immediately realized that not only himself, but also the places he had been to would no longer be safe.
And he had just left his sister's hideout.
I have a special ability to escape at any time, but Dina can't do it.
For the sake of his sister, Alex had to temporarily put aside the task of finding McMullen and turn around to eliminate the drone detectors around the hideout.
In fact, he was still worried about whether there would be any problems on Karen's side, but it was his sister who was more important in comparison.
Besides, Karen still has Leon by his side to protect him, so he may not be needed at all.
It's a pity that Alex thinks too much, and the flower messenger he thought is staying at the Red Crown Base as General Randall at this time.
General's Office.
Leon tapped his fingers on the table regularly, and the computer in front of him was broadcasting the latest news about the virus:
[The Janetec bio leak has now been determined by authorities to be a city-wide biochemical attack, and suspect Alex Mercer has been named the most wanted man]
[See details about the suspect next]
Leon turned off the computer, and the broadcast came to an abrupt halt.
Even if he, the commander, didn't show up for a long time, Black Watch didn't do much work, and he knew that he had dumped the pot on Brother A, and his subjective initiative was very high.
"Captain Cross."
"I'm here, sir!" The tall and muscular Cross stepped forward, his resolute face and the scar on his lips adding a touch of ferocity to him.
Leon stood up, walked around to his desk, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Keep your people on standby, and soon there's work to do."
Cross saluted: "Yes, sir!" ”
"Also." Leon paused: "Drop all charges against Leon Vladimir and stop the arrest of him." ”
As soon as these words came out, Cross's eyes immediately widened: "But."
Li Ang sat back in his chair and leaned back: "Not so much, but times have changed, he is now our own person, obey orders!" ”
"Yes, sir!" Cross replied in a loud voice.
He was only suspicious before, but now he can finally confirm that the Randall in front of him is definitely the original Odin.
It's just that I have some doubts in my heart, why Elizabeth didn't tell him about such an important matter.
Just as he was trying to contact Elizabeth through the brood consciousness, a person next to him, who had always remained silent, spoke: "General, what do you mean by your own people?" ”
In fact, there have always been three people in the office, except for Leon and Cross, and the rest is Dr. McMullen, who Brother A has in mind.
McMullen is 49 years old this year, wearing eyes, meticulously combed hair, and a well-dressed black suit, exuding the air of a scholar, but the overly high nose bridge and sunken eye sockets make his expression look a little cloudy.
"General, I'm not questioning you, I'm just wondering, what do you mean by being a person?"
McMullen repeated the previous question again.
Leon said with a straight face, "Odin found me privately and pledged his allegiance to Blackwatch, and I incorporated him into my personal guard. Questions, Doctor? ”
With that, he turned to Cross and said, "I almost forgot, go and write a personal profile for Lieutenant Leon, just say that he is a participant in the Super Soldier program." ”
"Understood!" Chris nodded yes, thinking to himself.
He, the elite captain and the supreme commander, are both infected, and now there are multiple virions in the team, although the latter two are the same person, but it is enough to say a lot.
Sooner or later, this Black Watch will be over!
McMullen next to him was a little anxious: "General, do you want to think about it again before making a decision, the virion is very dangerous, especially this Odin's identity background is so mysterious, I'm afraid he has other purposes, which is not good for the general." ”
"My suggestion is to leave him to me for the time being for preliminary research and find a way to control him, so that nothing goes wrong."
These words almost made Li Ang angry, and the abacus beads were about to collapse on his face.
Others have other purposes, and you McMullen don't?
As far as Leon knew, the Janetech research director had always believed that all Black Watchmen, including General Randall, were a bunch of stupid and short-sighted people.
Only science can unravel the mysteries of viruses and their impact on life on Earth.
In order to be qualified to study Black Light, he founded Janetek and did not hesitate to cooperate with Black Watch, who he had always looked down upon.
In a way, McMullen and Elizabeth are essentially the same kind of people, the kind of people who will not give up until they achieve their goals, and are willing to give up everything for the sake of their ideals and ambitions.
He has long been interested in viriogens, and can even be said to be obsessed.
Alex couldn't get it in a short time, so he calculated it on Leang's head.
Li Ang naturally wouldn't let him get his wish, and directly changed the topic: "Don't you have something to share with us today?" Now that I have time, take it out and take a look. ”
The general's strength made McMullen temporarily dispel the thought in his heart, and he could only continue to follow the topic:
"Well, I have newly developed a portable virus detector, I want the general to observe the effect, if I can, I want to arrange a large number of red crowns to strengthen the defense of the base."
"Portable?" Li Ang really didn't have any impression of this plot: "Take it out and take a look." ”
McMullen listened and pulled out a rectangular instrument from the box he was carrying.
There are many lines and a few buttons on it, plus a row of warning lights.
"I'll briefly show you what it does, as soon as the machine is running, if there is no virus detected, the green light will light up, and if there is, then it will light up red, accompanied by a harsh sound"
As he spoke, he pressed the turn button.
Suddenly, the warning lights on the machine frantically flashed red, accompanied by a screeching siren.
McMarron's face changed instantly, and he looked at the two people in front of him in disbelief.
Li Ang's face was still calm, and he said with a smile: "Doctor, there shouldn't be a problem with this thing, right?" Will there be an infected person in my office? ”
"You're right, Captain?"
Chris looked a little glazed and stared at the machine in McMullen's hand.
Fortunately, he reacted immediately and echoed: "Yes, what the general said is right!" How can there be an infected person in the base, it's simply an insult to our Black Watch. ”
McMullen hurriedly turned off the machine, and couldn't help but pull out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
He also suspected that the detector might be broken.
After all, only the virion can disguise itself as someone else, and there are two people in front of him, so it is impossible for both of them to be disguised.
"I'm sorry, I let you and the captain see the joke, General, it should be that there is something wrong with the machine."
Li Ang waved his hand generously: "It's okay, it's okay to improve if something goes wrong, it's not terrible to fail once, it's terrible to fail again." ”
"Yes, you're right." McMullen kept sweating on his forehead, and he kept wiping.
In any case, he didn't dare to stay in this place any longer, in case the detector wasn't actually broken.
"General, I have other things to do here, so I won't bother you and take my leave."
How could Leon let him leave easily, and directly glanced at Cross.
Cross also knew that the two of them were now grasshoppers on a rope, and if they were exposed, they would be all over, so he kicked McMullen in the crook of the knee and knocked him down.
Xiucai met Bing, no matter how smart the doctor was, he was just a weak scientific researcher, how could he be the opponent of a soldier like Cross, and one of his legs was almost kicked off on the spot.
Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down from the center of his eyebrows, his neck was bruised, his face was purple and red, and before he could scream, he was covered by Cross.
Leon paced from behind his desk to McMullen, kicked his unconscious leg, and pretended to reproach, "Captain, it's too heavy, be gentle with our doctor!" ”
Cross pressed his knee against McMarron's neck as he pulled out the straps to tie his hands.
"I'm sorry sir, I was negligent!"
McMullen finally recovered from the severe pain, coughing from choking, and asked, "Are you Alex?" ”
Leon crouched down and looked at him: "The person you are looking for is not here." Then he said indifferently to the captain, "Kill him." ”
Cross immediately moved and smeared McMullen's neck with a tactical dagger.
Blood instantly stained the floor, McMullen's eyes darkened and darkened, and his body twitched twice and then stopped.
Li Ang returned to his seat and asked meaningfully, "Captain, I have often heard people say that only the dead keep secrets, do you agree?" ”
Cross understood the subtext of the words, and quickly replied, "I don't agree, sir, I can keep it a secret." ”
"Good." Leon changed his words: "Contact Elizabeth and she will tell you how to do it." ”
Cross had wanted to contact the Mother Body, but before he could say a few words, a face quickly stepped down and muttered, "She said, let me listen to you, sir." ”
Leon smiled unsurprisingly, he was now Elizabeth's favorite, the first in line to the throne.
"In that case, I have a task for you here."
Cross bowed his head respectfully: "You say." ”
"Go to St. Paul's Hospital, find a doctor named Grande, and bring him to me."
"Also, there was the first patient in New York to be infected with the virus in an abandoned base in the quarantine area, and he was brought here."
Cross nodded in agreement, and disposed of McMullen's body as he left.
Li Ang stopped him by saying something: "Keep it, I'm still useful." ”
"Yes." Cross walked out of the office and gathered his men to find the man Leon had asked for.
On the other side, Alex, who has experienced a bloody storm, destroys more than a dozen armored vehicles and helicopters, and kills hundreds of Black Watch soldiers before they finally solve all the drone detectors before they find their sister.
After confirming that the hideout was safe, he set out again to find McMullen, collecting genetic samples of the virus along the way.
After a period of exploration, Alex collected a sufficient number of virus samples, but still couldn't find a way to enter the Reagan, which made him a little discouraged.
In desperation, I decided to go back to my sister first.
As soon as she arrives at the hideout, Dina surprises Alex and thinks of a way to contact McMalen.
It turned out that she had learned through the news that Black Watch's scientific research team was constantly sending people to the nests of infected people all over New York, and it seemed that something was in a hurry to investigate.
And these research groups must have come into contact with McMullen, who is also a scientific researcher.
Find them, and then ask them about McMullen's whereabouts.
Alex thinks his sister's idea is good, so he does what he says, and immediately sets off to the nest of the infected in the quarantine area to find the Black Watch research team.
The Infected Lair and Elizabeth's Lair are not the same thing, but they are similar, both are buildings that have been contaminated with the virus because there are so many infected people gathered.
Alex easily found a member of the research team near the lair, and after absorbing the assimilation, an even bigger surprise fell on his head.
The purpose of the research team here is to cooperate with the Black Watch combat force to clean up the infected inside the lair, reduce the concentration of the virus, and prepare for McMullen to enter the lair to study the virus.
Alex was overjoyed to hear the news, unaware that the blood of the person he wanted to see was running dry.
Back to Leon's side.
He assimilated and assimilated McMale's corpse, leaving no trace.
Picking up and destroying corpses, the black light virus can be called the first.
What surprised him even more was that although he had not obtained McMullen's memories due to reabsorption after death, his disguise remained unaffected.
Li Ang suddenly felt interesting, and he and Brother A could meet again soon.
Just as I was thinking, there was a knock on the door outside.
Li Ang sat down and said solemnly: "Come in." ”
An officer in a white combat uniform walked into the office, saluted first, and then said, "Sir, I'm coming for Dr. McMullen, his helicopter is ready to go to search the nest of the infected!" ”
Leon thought for a moment and replied, "The plan is canceled, it will be changed to another time, the doctor has other tasks today." ”
The officer seemed a little uneasy: "Sir, where is the doctor?" I'll check with him. ”
When Li Ang heard this, he grabbed a stack of documents on the table, smashed it on him, and scolded angrily: "Are you his subordinate or my subordinate, get out of here and do something!" ”
Only then did the officer realize that he had committed a taboo, hurriedly picked up the scattered documents and put them away, and ran out of the office in a gloomy manner.
Leon rubbed his eyebrows, feeling as if he had forgotten something.
Picking up the phone on the table, he said, "When Captain Cross returns, let him come to the office to see me as soon as he comes." Also, put together all the information about the untouchables and send it to me. ”
Come and count the tickets, please~
