Silenced pheromones

Ning Suiyuan and Yao Wei only met a few times, and among the few karmic encounters, only this one can barely be regarded as friendship.

But Yao Wei died just like that.

In order to prevent Yao Wei's body from being harmed, Ji Heng held the cremation ceremony in charge. All the officers were present and paid respects to Yao Wei in silence. Blood red, no one said a word, at this moment, the grievances between people will disappear, and Yao Wei's previous sternness and meanness will be gone with the ashes.

Ji Heng's brows were tightly frowned, and his heart was blocked even more. He had just opened a conversation with Yao Wei to settle the suspicion, and then he watched his colleague die in front of his eyes. The helpless regret aroused a deeper sense of death. , making his heart heavy like lead.

Someone was weeping in his ears, presumably Yao Wei still had some close subordinates, Ji Heng didn't stop them, let them vent, he looked around, but didn't see Ning Suiyuan.

Ning Suiyuan sat on the top of the barn. He looked at the distant scenery indifferently. Occasionally, some dust rich in coke particles floated in the air, blurring his vision. He clenched the personal terminal and communicator in his hand tightly, lips The corners are squeezed tightly.

"Ayuan?" Ji Heng looked for him on the ground, raised his head to see him, and called softly.

Ning Suiyuan lowered his eyes, and after a while, Ji Heng climbed up to the roof of the barn and sat beside Ning Suiyuan.

"In a bad mood?" Ji Heng asked.

"It's hard to be in a good mood at a time like this." Ning Suiyuan said.

"I know, you witnessed Yao Wei's death—"

Ning Suiyuan took a deep breath and smiled softly: "The sadness in my heart should not be as deep as those of you who have worked with him. You don't have to worry about me." He looked down at the personal terminal and communication in his hand He stared and said: "The Alpha who killed him ran away. I am very unwilling, but what puzzles me even more is why Yao Weiwei appeared in such a secluded place in the middle of the night, and why he was attacked without the slightest bit. There were traces of fighting until I restarted his personal terminal just now and found that he was still communicating with people in real time ten minutes before his death."

"What?!" Ji Heng slightly widened his eyes.

Ning Suiyuan lowered his head and disassembled the casing of the personal terminal. Only then did Ji Heng realize that the intact personal terminal had been disassembled into individual small parts one after another in the hands of the young man. Ning Suiyuan spliced ​​the two metal components together , the wires were reconnected, and a human voice full of "rustling" noise sounded from the communicator.

"Betrayal is betrayal, there is no need for so many gorgeous words to cover up. Yao Wei, I am very disappointed in you."

Ji Heng's body froze slightly.

Ning Suiyuan played it again, and the voice gradually disappeared amidst the noise.

"...There is no need for so many flowery words to cover up. Yao Wei, I feel sorry for you..."

"In order to ensure privacy, the military's personal communicators will destroy all communication records in the form of charges. I tried to use the theory of 'charge retention' to restore the end of some communication records, but there are only so many." Ning Suiyuan said that he connected the line again, and sure enough there was only the "rustling" snowflake sound left in the communicator.

"Is this what Yao Wei received before he died?" Ji Heng asked in shock.

"Can you recognize who this voice is?" Ning Suiyuan asked.

"It has deteriorated too much." Ji Heng shook his head: "I can't hear it, it should be the communication with the central government..."

Ning Suiyuan: "Yao Wei betrayed the Central Committee?"

"Impossible." Ji Heng vetoed it without even thinking about it: "It is impossible for an academic like Yao Wei to betray the central government. When he chatted with me yesterday, he also showed sufficient confidence in the central defense department and felt that the city was closed. The order is something I imagined myself."

"Then why is there such a dialogue? Why did he die?" Ning Suiyuan said: "Obviously he was killed because he was identified as 'betrayal'."

Ji Heng pondered for a long time, then suddenly said: "A Yuan, do you still remember our previous 'conspiracy theory'?"

"I remember." Ning Suiyuan lowered his head, slightly rubbing his sore fingertips from dismantling the parts: "Not only do I remember, but it's also gradually formed in my mind."

"Tell me?"

"Actually, when I first purified the 'undead virus', I thought about whether the virus body could be used in the army. If the human army itself is not afraid of pain and death, then the combat effectiveness will be maximized. What better hardcover weapons than inventing and improving? It all works." Ning Suiyuan's voice gradually lowered: "Until I witnessed the side effects of the 'undead virus' on your subordinate..."

Ji Heng couldn't help holding his wrist, injecting the warmth and strength in his palm.

"It has nothing to do with you." Ji Heng said softly, "Don't take the blame on yourself."

Ning Suiyuan pulled the corner of his lips: "It won't happen this time." He continued bluntly: "I should have given up on this idea later, but on the other hand, if there are decision-makers in the central government who still want to use or By continuing this plan, are we, as opponents, placed in the position of 'betrayers'?"

"Well..." Ji Heng pondered: "What you said makes sense."

"And you are a person who doesn't stick to the rules in everyone's established impression." Ning Suiyuan said: "Yao Wei is just the opposite."

"The central government felt that Yao Wei, an academic who abides by the rules, might agree with their decision, so they tried to communicate with Yao Wei and instigate rebellion, but failed." Ji Heng laughed back angrily: "Yao Wei was silenced."

"Then can I further speculate—" Ning Suiyuan said: "The central government's request to Yao Wei is to sanction you on behalf of the central government, or to help the central government spread the virus."

"Everyone knows that Yao Wei wants to be the next Minister of National Defense, and he will have a vested interest in sanctioning Yao Wei, so the former is more likely for the two points you mentioned." Ji Heng said.

The two stared at each other in silence for a long time, and suddenly felt a chill.

"If the above conjectures are true." Ji Heng smiled wryly: "Yao Wei's death would have been too tragic."

"If the above conjectures are true." Ning Suiyuan said indifferently: "Our situation is not optimistic."

"Yeah, they can even kill Yao Wei at will, so I have long been a thorn in their side." Ji Heng said coldly: "Not to mention other people, it's all in their eyes You can dispose of the fish on the chopping board as you like." He slapped the roof fiercely: "No, you can't just sit and wait, what is this?! It's already the golden age, and human civilization has finally evolved to such an advanced level. Colonial years?"

"Call back." Ning Suiyuan said softly: "Let's call all the way back to District [-] and ask them for an explanation."

Ji Heng let out a breath in silence, rubbing the center of his brows fiercely.

"Based on the current situation, I suspect that the cyborgs have spread widely. If the central government continues to send people to transform the cyborgs into powerful biochemical warriors, in terms of our current military strength, it will be difficult for us to break through and return to District [-] with an armed force. Very big." Ji Heng said, "I'm not scaremongering."

Ning Suiyuan pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice; "Ji Heng, I actually have another guess."

"Huh?" Ji Heng said, "Tell me."

"If the central government's technology for transforming biochemical warriors is mature enough, then why does it need to send people to instigate Yao Wei?" Ning Suiyuan said: "Directly let the biochemical warriors subdue Yao Wei, or directly use biochemical forces." The continuous attack has defeated you, isn't that the most worry-free thing?"

"You mean...?" Ji Heng narrowed his eyes.

"There are two elements for making biochemical warriors. First, biochemical humans with intact central and spinal cord systems, and second, advanced chips." Ning Suiyuan said: "The former can be said to be available in sufficient quantities now, and the latter is a high-tech chip. Scientific and technological achievements are difficult and expensive to produce, and if you really want to build a large-scale biochemical army, the investment will be many times more than training a human army."

"So... the central government may have run out of money?" Ji Heng slowly raised the corners of his lips: "There is no way to make biowarriors."

"Not only is there no money, but rare metals are needed to make chips, and maybe the ore is scarce." Ning Suiyuan said: "That's why they took so much trouble to find Yao Wei, intimidating and luring." After a pause, he shrugged: "Of course, this is just my speculation."

"A Yuan, what kind of clever little ghost are you!" Ji Heng stretched out his arms and hugged him vigorously, rubbed him vigorously, then held his head and kissed him twice vigorously: "I love you so much!"

"Oh, you...don't—" Ning Suiyuan blushed, and rubbed his forehead with the back of his hand: "Can you shave your beard, it hurts people."

The current Ning Suiyuan has a much more cheerful personality than the original Ning Suiyuan, but he still blushes. Every time like this, Ji Heng feels that he loves him and wants to swallow him, or Bullied him severely and made him cry.

But it's not appropriate at this time, Ji Heng suppressed the anger in his heart, lay down on his back on the roof, and looked at the blue sky.

"You used to be at the Central Scientific Research Institute, and I used to be at the Central National Defense Military Academy." He murmured, "I remember that the central school grounds and the scientific research building are not far away. Could it be that the two of us met when A-Tang died?" Have you ever done that once? It doesn't make sense, does it?"

Ning Suiyuan was stunned.

"And an Omega like you, even if I appear in front of my eyes just once, I will definitely fall in love at first sight and never forget it." Ji Heng tapped his temple and said, "Oh, my brain must have fallen during the Red Ridge Battle." broken."

Ning Suiyuan lowered his eyes.

He tried to search for those clues in the depths of his memory, but to no avail.

"It's not just your brain that's broken?" He smiled self-deprecatingly, leaned sideways on Ji Heng's chest, put his cheek against Alpha's heart, and listened to Alpha's powerful heartbeat.

"But I believe that no matter whether I remember the past or not, as long as I see you, I will definitely fall in love with you."

Looking back at the beginning of the biochemical virus outbreak, three months have passed.

Ji Heng led the team back from the fifth district to the sixth district, and made a major decision.

"Carry out a pathogen inventory in all areas of the entire empire?!" Judy blurted out: "This is crazy! It's unbelievable!"

"It's nothing incredible." Ji Heng said: "There are garrisons in every district. As long as we unite with the garrisons and teach them how to use an ultrasound machine, biochemical humans can be easily expelled and eliminated." He bowed his head and said: "This parameter It was bought by Principal Pei Qing of the Fort Naro Military Academy with his life, it is precious and worth remembering."

"Then what if we encounter biochemical soldiers?!" Pierre interjected tremblingly: "You experienced veterans have such a hard time dealing with them, let alone ordinary people—"

"What kind of veteran! Can you speak?" Yang Xiao rolled his eyes.

"Seniority is old, seniority is old, it doesn't mean age!" Pierre hurriedly defended.

"Where are there so many why? Obey the order and it's over." Ji Heng obviously didn't intend to explain further: "In short, the chief will not let you die for no reason, just remember this."

Pierre hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "I believe Ji Ji!"

Over the past few days, the main city of the sixth district has been thoroughly cleaned, and the number of people under quarantine and observation has also been cleared. People have begun to try to move freely in a small area, which is much better than being trapped in a square inch before.Residents who encounter biochemical people will no longer mess up their rules. After avoiding them in time, they will report rationally and let the army come to deal with them.

After living and dying together, there is an invisible and strong bond among the surviving people, which is called "trust".

Ning Suiyuan drafted a code to deal with the crisis overnight, while Ji Heng made a reasonable allocation of the existing manpower and military supplies.

Lu Yang was recruited by Ji Heng as a dispatcher, and he was going to the distant eleventh district. Ji Heng said that it was not very developed there, and he might need a person who understands the theory of machine repair to help, and Lu Yang has now become a very assertive The young man, everyone thinks that he can be alone.

"The eleventh district is so far away." With everyone's approval, Lu Yang felt happy on the one hand, but also felt a little sad on the other hand: "Then I want to say goodbye to my mother before going."

Previously, the people from the city defense station conducted a brief inspection of the counties around the sixth district, and unexpectedly found that the small county was very safe because it was too closed. Lu Yang's mother was among them. They left some supplies for the small county and then left , Lu Yang was ecstatic when he heard that his mother was still alive.

He always wanted to wait for the situation to stabilize before returning home. Recently, the situation in the sixth district is developing in a good direction, and the fire of hope in his heart is getting stronger and stronger. But if he wants to go to the eleventh district now, it may It took several months to wait, and by that time, he might not be able to care about his mother's health even if he wanted to.

Lu Yang lowered his head in frustration.

Then someone patted him on the shoulder.

"Ji Chu, I'll go to District [-]."

Lu Yang looked sideways and saw Kesh's face.

The Russian old man seemed to have aged more than ten years in just a few days, his face was full of furrows and wrinkles, and he had been shrinking in the dark after being brought back, ignoring anyone's words, like a walking dead.

It was surprising to speak suddenly at this moment.

"Let this kid stay in the sixth district, it's better to be closer to his mother." Ke Shi said hoarsely: "I'm going to the eleventh district, anyway, I don't have the face to stay in the sixth district."

Lu Yang was startled, with mixed feelings in his heart.

"Thank you, Minister," he whispered.

"Don't call me a minister, it's so shameful, I can't compare to you, a brat, your mother must be very proud to see you like this." Ke Shi smiled miserably: "If time goes back... Forget it, there is no if .”

Ji Heng narrowed his eyes and sighed softly.

"Okay, I get it."

After this incident, all people and things have undergone earth-shaking changes. Faced with Ji Heng's arrangement, few people have any objections. Everyone wants to contribute their own strength to make this disaster pass as soon as possible.

Seven days later, more than a dozen teams, including city defense stations, special forces, and volunteers, set off from the main city of the six districts one after another and rushed to every corner of the empire, starting this "anti-city closure" self-rescue operation.
