Ancient Invasion [End Times]

No.20 days after the invasion

Everyone continued to rest in place.

Long Changlin's team hadn't had a good rest for four or five days, so they took advantage of the fact that the parking lot was still a safe and closed environment, so they took the time to recharge their batteries.

They had a dozen truckloads of supplies, two of which were empty.

Duan Yi and Cheng Sheng didn't ask about the situation, and they knew it wasn't an experience they wanted to be recalled.

Long Changlin and Cheng Sheng were sitting in one of the empty trucks. He wanted to ask Duan Yilin about the situation in the city, but was interrupted by Cheng Sheng.

Cheng Sheng asked him, "Can you contact the Tibetan base?"

Although Long Changlin didn't understand why Cheng Sheng asked this all of a sudden, he shook his head and said, "No, our electronic communication equipment broke down before we arrived in Lindu, that's why we couldn't get in touch through the walkie-talkie until yesterday. Your reasons."

Cheng Sheng frowned: "It's broken? Show me."

Long Changlin dug out the communication device and handed it to Cheng Sheng.

Cheng Sheng glanced at it twice, let out a soft "huh", then didn't continue, just picked up tools and started tinkering.

Long Changlin looked at Duan Yi without knowing why: "The doctor can still do this? Isn't he a doctor of ancient diseases?"

"Dual Ph.D. in ancient biology and infectious disease." Duan Yi corrected.

Long Changlin: "..." Aren't they all the same?

Cheng Sheng had a red wire in his mouth, and his fingers nimbly shuttled between several wires of different colors, and finally screwed it back with a screw: "Okay, try it."

He threw the communicator to Long Changlin, Long Changlin almost didn't react, caught it in a hurry, startled.

"Okay?" He looked at Cheng Sheng blankly, and tried to contact Duan Yi with the communicator, and Duan Yi's clear face appeared on the screen of the communicator.

Long Changlin patted his thigh: "It's really repaired! It's ok, Doctor!"

"Help me contact the base, I want to contact the supreme commander directly." Cheng Sheng said, he looked at Long Changlin, "We have made new progress on the virus."

Long Changlin was taken aback for a moment, then he was overjoyed: "Really?! That's great!"

He immediately contacted the Tibetan base: "Request number 105960 to contact the headquarters."

"receive."

The image of the deputy director quickly popped up on the screen of the communicator. It was a lean and capable woman. Her face was tired, but her eyes were still as bright as torches. She ordered: "Report the situation, Major General."

"We met Dr. Cheng Sheng. The doctor made a new discovery." Long Changlin said concisely, and transferred the communication device to Cheng Sheng.

Cheng Sheng was a little surprised that he didn't see the Prime Minister.

The last time he met with the other party was at the joint summit meeting. What he wanted to say this time was still an order that only the prime minister, who is the supreme commander, could issue.

"Where's the Prime Minister?" Cheng Sheng asked, "I need to talk to him right away."

There was silence for two seconds.

Long Changlin was also slightly taken aback, seeing the other party's appearance... Isn't the Prime Minister at the Tibetan base?

The woman on the opposite side of the communicator was silent and then said: "...he didn't leave the imperial capital. Obviously our captain is unwilling to abandon his sinking ship, and he chose to go through this with his people."

"I personally appreciate and praise the noble character of the Chairman." The Deputy Director looked at Cheng Sheng, "But our country needs to continue to operate, so, Dr. Cheng, if you have something to say, please do so now. I It is the supreme commander of this base, Lu Weijing."

Cheng Sheng was silent for a moment and closed his eyes.

He remembered that at the previous joint meeting, he questioned the other party: "If my research and proofs are correct, then the entire country and the entire world order will collapse! The innocent citizens will suffer, but what about you? , I have already made preparations, change to a safe underground fortress, and command your soldiers to charge for you from a distance, sacrificing one piece after another..."

That's when the Prime Minister interrupted him, looked at him and said, "Then I'll be with them, and I'll never leave anyone behind."

"He did it..." Cheng Sheng murmured, taking a deep breath.

In fact, at that time, he even asked the Prime Minister a question. He asked the other party, even if the Prime Minister is there, what's the use?Is it to pray that disaster will not come?

Now Cheng Sheng was thinking, at least at that time he shouldn't be sarcastic and taunting the other party.It is indeed useless for the Prime Minister to stay in the Imperial Capital, but at least for the people, it is a kind of spiritual support and comfort.

"Dr. Cheng." Long Changlin reminded Cheng Sheng from the side, signaling that he was still communicating.

Cheng Sheng responded, came back to his senses, and said, "Not all infected people will become like that. Be sure to set aside 24 hours of isolation and wait for observation."

"Bacterial and powerful detoxification agents may be able to suppress the virus, but they must be injected immediately. The specific data and information are all recorded in my file, and anyone who takes a look will understand..." He spoke quickly .

"Doctor, the research institute's data files were all damaged during the evacuation. I'm afraid there is no such information as you mentioned." Lu Weijing interrupted Cheng Sheng's words, and said with an uneasy face.

"...So you put the research data in the lowest protection level when you transferred? It's a decision made by a genius." Cheng Sheng's bad temper came up, and he couldn't help cursing.

Long Changlin twitched the corners of his mouth, and didn't dare to make a sound beside him. Looking at Lu Weijing's face, the always refined deputy director just kept a dark face, and didn't refute or order Cheng Sheng to be rude.

Cheng Sheng scolded, but soon he thought of another way, he said: "There are external storage facilities in the compound, there must be a backup there."

"The problem is that there are no people in the Imperial Capital that we can control, only the Prime Minister's personal guards. It is impossible for them to leave the Prime Minister. And the public security system can only barely maintain the city order in the Imperial Capital, and it has not completely collapsed for the time being. " Lu Weijing said, "There is no extra manpower to spare."

Cheng Sheng: "..." Absolutely.

Lu Weijing looked at Cheng Sheng: "Aside from the usefulness of the bacterial detoxifier you said, is there any alternative medicine?"

"Go ask the experts you brought back. If they can't answer this question for you, then I suggest that you can just remove the string of titles in front of their names." Cheng Sheng curled his lips mockingly.

"The 24-hour quarantine period, the infected people are placed in a single room." Cheng Sheng finally emphasized, "These people hope to evolve ancient biological genes that resist the virus, survive, and fight against new evolutionary creatures."

Lu Weijing looked at him and frowned slightly: "Doctor, please give me an example."

Cheng Sheng clicked his tongue, a little impatient, but had to explain, he spoke quickly: "You should also know, right? Not only people are infected, but plants and animals have also changed accordingly."

Seeing Lu Weijing nodded, he continued: "With the current technological firepower alone, I am afraid that it is impossible to deal with these infected creatures at once without using those irreversible damage firepower. And human beings have very early in their genes. An incomplete gene chain of ancient organisms was detected."

"According to the rules of survival of the fittest and natural selection, under the threat of mass extinction, human beings are very likely to stimulate these powerful ancient biological genes adapted to survive in extreme environments."

"I've heard about your theoretical hypothesis, doctor." Lu Weijing interrupted him, "I'm very impressed, but in fact no one can do this, it's like fairy tales and the Arabian Nights..."

"You're wrong." Cheng Sheng interrupted her and gave her a deep look, "Someone can do it."

Duan Yi walked up to him, thinking that Cheng Sheng needed him to prove something, but was held down by Cheng Sheng calmly.

Cheng Sheng just said: "If you need to know more about it, then go to my mentor, Dr. Shao Chengyang. He will explain it to you in detail."

Lu Weijing fell silent again. She paused for a moment and said, "When we were evacuating the research compound, a group of evacuation experts lost contact with us. I'm afraid your supervisor is on the list of those who lost contact."

"I'm sorry." Lu Weijing said.

"..." Cheng Sheng was taken aback, and grabbed the armrest tightly.

The communication seemed to be disconnected, and no one made a sound for a while.

Cheng Sheng quickly cleaned up his lack of focus, took a deep breath, and said with a tight lip line: "I have nothing else to remind. The only thing is, don't point your gun at the wounded soldier who charged for you in the first place." , unless they change."

Lu Weijing nodded with an uneasy face: "I know."

In fact, she did not issue any such orders.

But those who were infected, almost immediately isolated themselves in a room, or chose to end their lives immediately.

She was escorted all the way to this base and saw too many examples like this. Most of them were young people in their early 20s, and in her eyes they were even children, about the same age as her son.

She took a deep breath and said to the secretary-general beside her, "You heard what the doctor said, do what he said."

"Good director."

"In addition, try to send another group of teams to support the Imperial Capital. Those research materials must be brought back."

"But we have already sent three waves of troops, all of them..." The Secretary-General didn't continue, he paused, and said in a heavy tone, "The Imperial Capital has completely fallen, Director, sending the team there is no different from sending them to death."

Lu Weijing's eyes were red, but she knew that sacrifice was inevitable, she said, "Go and ask if there is anyone who volunteers to support Dijing, first get me a roster."

"...good director."

After the communication was hung up, Cheng Sheng fell into silence, feeling sad and sorry for the disappearance of Cheng Sheng's mentor, surprised and encouraged by the move of the general manager to choose to stay in the imperial capital, all kinds of emotions made everyone feel at a loss for a while. There is nothing to say.

In the end, it was Duan Yi who broke the silence. He looked at Cheng Sheng and said, "Those research materials must be obtained, right?"

Cheng Sheng looked at him and nodded.

But he guessed that the situation in the Imperial Capital must be very bad, and Duan Yi should also know something about it, otherwise when the dean sent someone to pick him back to the Imperial Capital that day, Duan Yi would not let him stay in Lin and not move.

despite this.

"The initial information about this virus is all in the Imperial Capital. Without these information, the speed of research progress may be delayed by twice." Cheng Sheng said.

Long Changlin interrupted disapprovingly: "But no one knows if the external storage device has been damaged."

"The external storage equipment is placed more than ten meters underground. Only those with a pass can enter and exit, while the security guards and others can only stay on the ground. Relatively speaking, the probability of the equipment being destroyed is less than 5.00%." ​​Cheng. Said loudly.

Long Changlin opened his mouth, closed it again, and turned to Duan Yi.

Duan Yi nodded slightly: "I understand, then I will do my best to send you in."

"Duan boy! Are you crazy!?" Long Changlin jumped up suddenly, "What's the situation in Dijing! You and I finally got out of there! No one can go in there now!"

Lin Qian and Xu Ying looked at them, and after a few seconds of silence, they said, "Doctor, we will do our best to send you in."

"...A group of lunatics who are working hard!" Long Changlin had nothing to say, anxious and angry.

"No way, the doctor and those research materials are our hope to survive and return to normal life." Lin Qian smiled at Long Changlin with a playful smile, "Don't worry about us, Team Long, we can come out of there alive, Surely he can bring the doctor in alive."

"I'm not worried about you!" Long Changlin curled his lips angrily, turned around and stopped talking.

After a while, he threw out a car key and said in a muffled voice, "You can drive away with this empty pickup truck, it's better than your few old wrecked cars."

Duan Yi smiled slightly, and took the car keys: "Thank you Team Long."

Lin Qian whispered in Cheng Sheng's ear, "Long Dui is hard-spoken, just like the doctor."

Cheng Sheng glanced at Lin Qian, Lin Qian paused, then retracted his head suddenly.

Cheng Sheng twitched his lips and looked at Lin Qian and Xu Ying: "Have you all made up your mind? I can't guarantee whether going to the Imperial Capital this time will be a waste of effort. Are you sure you want to risk your life to go there? You can go back to the base directly of."

"Our mission is to protect the doctor's safety," Xu Ying said.

Lin Qian nodded: "If the virus can't be solved, it's actually just as dangerous to go anywhere."

Cheng Sheng took a deep look at them and said softly, "Thank you."

On the other side, in the Tibetan base.

The secretary-general handed the compiled voluntary roster to Lu Weijing: "Director, this is the roster for those who voluntarily go to the Imperial Capital."

A thick stack of personal files.

Lu Weijing's eyes were red, and she gently stroked the photo of the young soldier on the first personal file with her fingers. The young boy was called Lu Qi, a private first class, and he was the best one on the list.

She took a deep breath, and tapped Lu Qi's personal file with her finger: "Okay. Then let him lead the team."

"director……"

"He was my son and the keeper of the country, and I'm proud of all of them."
