Delusion Master

"Wei Lin, wake up."

Wei Lin opened his eyes vigilantly, and found that the surroundings were still dark, half of his body was still leaning against Bai Yuan's chest, the latter seemed to have kept the posture he had before falling asleep, and had not moved. "What time is it?" he asked softly.

"03:30 in the morning. I saw that you were in a deep sleep, so I woke you up an hour later than planned." Bai Yuan said.

"...you didn't sleep?"

"Close your eyes and rest your mind. The safety factor of this 'absolute domain' is too low, there must be someone responsible for the night watch to deal with emergencies."

Wei Lin was a little moved. He felt that Bai Yuan was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, but he was actually quite caring, so he said shyly, "Next time I'll keep watch and take turns."

Bai Yuan didn't show any politeness to him, and simply responded: "Okay."

The two got up and stretched their muscles, and walked to the locked door.A ray of clear light still penetrated through the crack of the door, allowing them to barely see.

The door is a wooden door, and the lock is an ordinary lock. This was originally a tool room, which was temporarily used as a confinement room. It is impossible for the diligent maintainers in the Air Seven Base to have the time and energy to modify these details.Wei Lin tugged at the doorknob: "Maybe it can be pried open." As he spoke, he took out a small throwing knife from under his clothes as if by magic - when he was searched before, he didn't know how to keep it.

The front end of the flying knife was as sharp as a needle. He inserted the tip of the knife into the lock hole and fiddled with it up and down, left and right for a while, only to hear a soft "click", and he really picked the lock open.

"Let's go, find Professor Cheng." Wei Lin opened the door, walked into the corridor with Bai Yuan, quietly put down the guards on duty, retrieved the confiscated throwing knife and hand dart, and disappeared into the dawn In the night before.

At dawn, the survivors who still had lingering fears spent a sleepless night in the quarantine area.

There was a lot of voices among the hundreds of tents, and people kept moving around.The first batch of people who arrived can enter the base after observing for half a day and finding no lesions.And in the wilderness outside, people who heard the summoning order rushed to the Kongqi base in an endless stream, but the number was much smaller than the previous day.

Because of Professor Cheng Lixin's insistence, no matter how busy they are, the blood collection at the reception must not be neglected. Every survivor who enters the base has a DNA sample collected and sent to the cold storage.While sending troops to deliver supplies, the military moved some important genetic testing and importing equipment from the urban area, and set up a temporary laboratory for Professor Cheng.

At this moment, Professor Cheng is leading a few biological and medical students who barely acted as assistants to examine the genetic samples of the survivors one by one in the laboratory.

"...?!" Cheng Lixin expressed surprise, and lost his voice, "Where did this sample come from? There is no pollution at all, and the genes of ancient viruses are not affected by the elicitor at all! It's unbelievable. Seeing one person, no, this is the case with two people—the only two people! Help me check the sample information!"

The assistant quickly found the one from the information registration form: "Name Bai Yuan, male, 28 years old..."

"—That's right! It's him, and there's a colleague called 'Wei Lin', you can help me find it too!" Professor Cheng said eagerly.

The assistant flipped through it, and quickly found the name on the next sheet, and handed him the corresponding genetic sample.After carefully inspecting it again, Professor Cheng was both excited and gratified, and sighed repeatedly: "I knew they were still alive, and they came here after seeing the news announcement... Hurry up, go find Colonel Shi and ask him to find them in the quarantine area." These two people, please come to my laboratory. By the way, if there is no quarantine area, search the entire base, no matter what. Just say, they are the key people in my research solution!"

When breakfast was being distributed, several teams of guards suddenly appeared in the isolation area, orderly inspecting each tent one by one and asking the survivors, as if they were looking for someone.

When Lin Yue and Tabloy Pine were eating breakfast, they also met the guards who were questioning. At this time, Lu Fengping went to find the monkey, and there were only two of them left in the tent.

"According to the registration, they should be living in this tent." The guard said, "Bai Yuan and Wei Lin, you really haven't seen them?"

Taedl Pine was worried that the two men had committed a crime, and the base sent so many soldiers to search for it, so they replied without raising their eyes: "I don't know, I haven't seen it."

Lin Yue had a lot of eyes, and if he wanted to set up guards, it was a pity that the other party was very disciplined and had a sense of confidentiality, so he didn't reveal any information.

On the contrary, many people noticed the conflict with Jiang Qiang and others outside the tent last night, and told the guards in a hurry.So they found that the two men escorted away by a uniformed police officer looked quite similar to what Professor Cheng had described.

Yuan Bin was found on the head of the incident.

When he received a call from Colonel Shi, Deputy Director Yuan was still a little confused: They were just two thorny young men with bad attitudes, but how did they become the ones who were ordered by their superiors to "be sure to find them, entertain them properly, and deliver them safely"? What about important people?

Now the person is in his hands, but after being locked up overnight, there is no way to talk about "proper hospitality", and I don't know if these two little bastards will give him eye drops from the superiors... The more Yuan Bin thought about it The more disturbed he was, the more angry he was at his cousin, who caused trouble, and his girlfriend with big breasts and no brains. At the same time, he was scolded bloody by Colonel Shi.

"Hurry up and let him out—no, please come out! Eat and drink to appease me, and send it to me!" Colonel Shi reprimanded, "This matter is of great importance. Not only is it named by Professor Cheng, but even The heads of the leading group were also alarmed, if something goes wrong in your hands, you won’t be able to afford it! We will pay for your abuse of power later on!”

While rushing to the confinement room, Yuan Bin made a heart-rending self-criticism on his mobile phone, promising to apologize to the two and escort them safely to the leaders.But when he found that the guard on duty had just woken up from a coma, the door of the confinement room was open, and there was no one inside, his vision went black and his phone fell to the ground.

- It's over!Even if he is not dismissed, his official career will come to an end here!He wanted to cry without tears.

Professor Cheng Lixin was pacing up and down in the laboratory, waiting for his superiors to tell him to meet someone.

Before the notice came down, the two young men he wanted to see appeared in the laboratory mysteriously.

"You—" Professor Cheng exclaimed in surprise, "how did you get in?"

"It's not important." Wei Lin said, walked closer and looked at him, and found that his mental state was not much better than when we met last time, and his face was full of tiredness and anxiety.It seems that whether it is the leading group of S City, himself, or even the capital, he has put a lot of pressure on him.

"That's right, it doesn't matter." Professor Cheng took them to the testing table, and the electronic screen showed the DNA sequences of the two people's genomes, which had been decomposed into small structural regions through mapping. Studying the genomes of the two of you and comparing them with those of other immuners and evolutionaries, I found a unique phenomenon——Wei Lin and Bai Yuan, you two are among the hundreds or thousands of samples I investigated, and even very few Possibly the only human among all survivors who was not affected by the trigger.

"That is to say, your genes are 'pure'. This 'purity' is compared to the current chaotic world where viruses are raging. You are at the source of infection, but your genes show the state of human beings before the disaster—and It seems to be frozen there. The test just now is the same as the test at the research center a few days ago, that is to say, no matter how the virus genes from the outside world multiply and mutate to erode the whole world, you will always be the only ship in the vast ocean The only two passengers on the ark.

"It may be a bit arbitrary to say this. After all, I have only checked some of the genetic samples of the survivors in City S, and it does not represent all of them. But I have a kind of prediction—please allow me to use the word 'prejudgment' unscientifically, I My mind is a bit confused now, and I don’t have enough time for research, sometimes I can only rely on inspiration and intuition——I think the two of you are extremely critical people.”

"Oh, how critical is it to what?" Wei Lin asked.

"It is related to the survival of the human race. The two of you are such a special case that it will not appear for no reason. This may be a breakthrough, so that I can do something to make up for my sins and break out of the current desperate situation." Professor Cheng said .

Wei Lin and Bai Yuan exchanged "interesting" glances, hoping that the "creator" who almost ruined the entire earth will be enlightened and turn the tide. "Is there a solution to the current catastrophe?"

Professor Cheng hesitated.

"...I have to be responsible for what I say, so I can't make a conclusion yet. The conditions of the laboratory here are too simple. At present, the leadership team of the base has contacted the capital and decided to send someone to pick me up. There are top The laboratory and research team can be used by me. Based on the distance from city S to the capital, I estimate that it will take three to five days for the virus to radiate there, and I must race against time."

Professor Cheng looked at his watch and said: "The people from the capital should arrive in a few hours, and the only two remaining pilots and a transport plane will be sent to escort them to the Space-Time Seventh Base. So I was waiting impatiently just now. If I can’t find you in time, I will wait for you for another 48 hours—up to 48 hours, if I can’t wait, I will have to fly to the capital first, and I will ask for blessings on the road ahead.”

"That's why the 72-hour deadline was set in the news announcement. It turns out that Professor Cheng is waiting for us." Wei Lin sighed cheekily, "A top scientist, you really have sharp eyes."

Bai Yuan is good at extracting key points from long speeches. Professor Cheng just said so much, he only heard a few words: pure gene, the capital sent someone to pick him up, and he and Wei Lin were to be brought along.Immediately said: "Okay, we will go to the capital with Professor Cheng. After all, everyone hopes that this catastrophe will end as soon as possible."

Then you wake up early so that we can successfully complete the task and take those three precious paid leave.Wei Lin continued to add in his stomach.

Professor Cheng patted Wei Lin on the shoulder with a long way to go: "You two are really good boys. Thank you for your hard work."

Bai Yuan said: "Since there is still some time before take-off, can you arrange a place for us to wash and have some food?"

Professor Cheng nodded: "No problem, let my assistant Xiaojin arrange it."
