Devil's Field
Chapter 04 Sacrifice the ego?No one wants to be a victim.
With a bang, a soldier with a submachine gun on his back tapped heavily on the car body to remind him that Santiago and those people who were not stained with pus and blood were all driven into the activity center.
Drenched in heavy rain outside, many people shivered and sneezed when they entered the room filled with warm air. Some young people who had been resting and waiting in the activity center enthusiastically handed over large dry towels. Tiago recognized Li Weiling who was giving orders like a young lady at a glance.
"Hey! You are here, where is Paris? Didn't he accompany you to the hospital?" Santiago took a step forward with his long legs, and slightly tightened Li Weiling's arm.
Li Weiling yelled softly in pain, then stared at the blond young man several times as if condemning, but unfortunately the other party didn't buy it at all, and still held her arm tightly, with the air of never letting go until she got an answer.
"The hospital only takes seriously injured patients, and to be honest, you wouldn't want to be there, the smell is so disgusting."
Curling her lips in disgust, Li Weiling looked at her friend.They all felt guilty and uneasy about leaving Liu Xiaoan who was alone in the ward, but who knew what would happen if they stayed in the hospital. Before they left, they saw several tourists snorkeling. Talking and laughing, the infected part of the black mass is not serious. Today, it was found that they were swollen like floating corpses. They could not move or speak and could only bleed out pus and blood. Li Weiling couldn't bear it for another second.
"Where's Pip? Where did you throw him?" Frowning his handsome brows, Santiago asked with a livid face. If there was any accident to that handsome blond man, he couldn't guarantee what he would do.
"He abandoned us! He said he would come to the activity center with us to wait, but he got into that bloody testing center and couldn't come out. He simply forgot that we were still waiting for him! It's too much!"
It’s okay not to mention it, but as soon as this matter was mentioned, Li Weiling’s anger burst out, and she slammed Santi Jacob viciously. The two brothers looked like themselves, self-righteous and disregarding the lives of others, and Santi Jacob ran to Mudouyu to go crazy , Paris went to the inspection center, and didn't even remember that there were idiots like them worrying about them!Heartless stuff.
"Testing center? Where is it?" Santiago raised his eyebrows slightly, cheering for his precious brother from the bottom of his heart, he knew that Paris could do it.
If anyone can find out the truth of this incident, it must be Paris, he is the most research-minded guy he has ever met, and of course, Santiago doesn't know many nerds who like to stay in the laboratory .
"Just in front of the hospital parking lot, there are a few tents that have been temporarily set up. They are so simple that they will die."
Unexpectedly, a young man intervened and interjected, followed by glaring at Santi Jacob with hostility, and his eyes moved to Li Weiling, which became gentle and lingering again. staged.
"In the hospital? Didn't you say that the situation in the hospital is not good?" Unable to ignore the soldiers standing at the entrances and exits with live ammunition, Santiago frowned slightly and looked around.
The atmosphere in the activity center is fairly peaceful. There are food, drink, warm blankets and some entertainment facilities. If he guessed correctly, this kind of battle is used to deal with some major disaster, so that the affected people have a place to "long time" stay.
Santiago is of course familiar with this arrangement. He is from New York. He was also responsible for maintaining order in several temporary shelters like this during [-]/[-]. Why should they stay here now?Beware of contagion, so quarantine?What's next?
"Well, those snorkeling tourists who survived were not as lucky as you, your "bruises" disappeared, but they became very serious, and the hospital smelled like that. "
Putting on an exaggerated disgusting expression, Li Weiling shuddered several times involuntarily. The only consolation was that her good sister Liu Xiaoan seemed to be another lucky one. The lump on her thigh seemed less obvious, but they No matter how good their relationship is, there is no way for Li Weiling to stay in the hospital for another second. She will definitely drive those smells and screams crazy.
"Can you take care of yourself? I need to go to that testing center. I don't worry about Pip staying there by himself. If the situation in the hospital is really as bad as you describe, it's safer for Pip to stay here."
"I knew you would definitely go to him. Why are you two brothers so clingy? Being separated is like parting from life to death. Do you need to be so exaggerated...Wait, why are you the only one coming back, Brother Shi Le?"
She rolled her eyes angrily. Li Weiling didn't know many foreigners. She guessed that they were all enthusiastic and unrestrained, so the brotherhood was like this. But at the level of the Willer brothers, it was a bit exaggerated. People who don't know may know Misunderstanding that they are lovers, is it necessary to be so inseparable?Even if it's really a couple, it doesn't need to seem like you can't live without the other person, right?
"When he was saving people, he was also stained with those things and was sent to the hospital, so I can also inquire about him in the past."
"Oh my God! Brother Shile, is it alright?"
"He was actually doing fine when we were separated, but with those .
Suffering from hot and cold for a while, Han Shile felt as if he was soaked in the smelly corpse water, and the air was filled with the smell of blood and putrefaction.He vaguely remembered being thrown into the back seat of the truck like some kind of waste like those blackened patients. During the rush, the violent shock made Han Shile's head scrambled.
The truck stopped without warning, and Han Shile was thrown out, hitting one of the wounded heavily, and the black pus and blood splashed all over the ground.
"Damn it!" The door of the car was opened, and the soldiers carrying the wounded all put on protective clothing, cursed in a low voice in disgust, and rudely lifted and pushed the wounded to get out of the car.
"Uh... I can get out of the car by myself." Staring at the soldiers who were walking towards him, Han Shile sighed helplessly. His condition is not that bad, there is no reason to be treated as a corpse, even if he is really a corpse, those soldiers How much respect should be shown, these people were innocent victims and did not become like this voluntarily.
"Oh! Be careful, there is a tent next to the testing center, please stay there." After a moment of stunned, the soldier replied dully, he probably didn't expect anyone to be conscious.
"Why would people from the military intervene? Have we been quarantined on this island?" Instead of leaving immediately, Han Shile helped to lift the injured people off the truck. He believed that these people could still be saved, so he Like him and Santiago, things might get better.
"I don't know, I'm just following orders." Responding coldly, the soldier glanced at Han Shile and acted more cautiously.
In the temporary shelter tent, there were already covered with blackened wounded patients, those in serious condition were motionless like corpses, and could only lie in the corner, dripping with black blood.
Those who were lucky enough to be as mobile as Han Shile were only infected on their limbs, and they stayed at the other end in a panic. They might want to leave to prevent their infection from getting worse, but there seemed to be several conflicts, and the guards were at the entrance and exit. The soldiers, indifferently and threateningly clutching their spears, walked back and forth from time to time.
"Mudouyu..." Biting his lower lip, Han Shile pondered for a while. He couldn't prove it, but the cause of everything seemed to be inseparable from that mysterious sea area.
"What?" Still moving diligently, the soldier responded irritably. No one wants to do this kind of mission. God knows if there will be a larger-scale outbreak. He doesn't want to be left in this place at all. small island.
"Mudou Island, everything started from there. First, tourists snorkeled there, disappeared, and after being found, it became like that. As for us..."
"you?"
"We rented a speedboat to Mudou Island to check after we received the distress message." I couldn't help regretting my actions. If he and Santiago hadn't insisted on going out to sea, maybe the big brother of the ship owner would be fine, but if If he didn't go to sea, he wouldn't know that Du Yonghe, who changed his name to Huang Sha, didn't die.
"Distress message? Why do you know about the distress message? It's a secret! Who leaked it?"
"Secret? What secret? That distress message was sent to everyone's mobile phone, even on social networking sites."
Eyes widened in horror, the soldier wrapped under the protective clothing ran away in a hurry. Han Shile was taken aback by his reaction. Why did a distress message become a military secret?
"Give me the results! I want to know what we are dealing with? New types of biochemical weapons? How long have you been using them? What should I do with those patients? Burn them? Give me the results!" Responsible for this time The senior military officers of the "rescue mission" stepped into the inspection center with a livid face.
They received a report from the hospital. At first they thought it was a simple medical mission, and they needed their military to send helicopters or transport planes to help patients transfer to other hospitals. Who knew that the situation was completely beyond their imagination. This was an infectious disease, and many soldiers fell down because of it. This made him very angry. He didn't like to rashly send his soldiers to the battlefield without knowing the enemy's situation.
"No! After preliminary analysis, this is more like... a natural phenomenon?" The person in charge of the testing center couldn't tell whether it was embarrassment or helplessness.
He agreed with Paris's inference that the black algae migrated instinctively, and "humans" were just hosts that happened to pass by. There may be more creatures parasitized by them, and it is not sure how extensive the disaster is.
"Natural phenomenon? You call those half-dead people a natural phenomenon? Give me the answer, how to save them? Also, how to solve the black algae pollution?"
"Uh... if it invades the human body, if the body is strong enough, the black algae can't actually harm... the human body."
"What if they're not strong enough? Let them fend for themselves?"
Facing the threatening questioning from the top military officials, the person in charge of the inspection center turned blue and pale for a while.They have tried several types of antibiotics, which may be useful at first, but the speed of adaptation of the black algae is amazing, and it seems to have a common memory, even if the black algae are not in the same host, they can resist the antibiotics.
Unless they can find a strong and effective drug to kill all the black algae in one go, they will not be able to "cure" this problem. The most damning thing is that if they are lucky to find such a powerful drug, the host will be killed first , that is, these fragile human beings.
"It's not about letting them fend for themselves, it's just...there's not much we can do at the moment. The most important thing is not to let the disaster spread, seal off the sea area, and keep people away from those injured. Maybe after a while , the black algae will die naturally, after all, there should be something threatening at the bottom of the sea, so there will be a large-scale migration.”
Even though it was raining heavily outside, there was a simple air conditioner in the testing center. When he said this, the person in charge was still sweating involuntarily. He announced the death date of those patients in a disguised form. Algae can only die along with it.
"Don't you think your statement is ridiculous? If there is something under the sea that threatens these black algae, wouldn't it threaten us?"
I don't like such an ambiguous answer. Although the military has already taken measures to seal off the sea area and isolate the island, this is only a temporary solution, not the root cause. The crisis still exists without removing the black algae for a day.
He waved his hand irritably. The high-ranking military officer led his non-commissioned officers and soldiers out of the inspection center. They still have a lot of things to deal with. Nothing out of hand has happened yet. Once the isolation lasts for a long time, those people will definitely rebound. He If they don't want to get into a situation that requires force to suppress, these researchers had better give him a solution as soon as possible.
"and many more!"
Staying in the corner all the time, Paris pursed his thin lips, and finally plucked up the courage to shout. He knew that his status was inconvenient and he should not express his opinion, but he really wanted to know the safety of Santiago. Before the military completely seals off the sea area of Mudou Island, he hopes to ask the other party to send someone to find his brother and Han Shile first.
"Who are you? Why is there an irrelevant person in the inspection center?" Angrily roared, the high-ranking military who was not used to being questioned glared at Paris with a livid face.In addition to assisting in isolation and quarantine, the military actually has other confidential tasks, and there should be no idlers coming in and out here.
"He's not, he...he's the consultant of the testing center, and he's the one who found out the characteristics of black algae." Hastily excused Paris, the person in charge explained profusely.
He shouldn't have let Paris stay here in the first place. This is a big loophole in the testing center, but they have nothing to do. If Paris didn't propose another research direction, they might still be in the wrong circle.
"Advisor? What do you want to say?" He looked at Paris with disbelief. The head of the military barely suppressed his temper. He had too much work to deal with, and he didn't have time to pay attention to these otherworldly researchers.
"Before you seal off that sea area, can you help search, my brother and friends might still be there."
"Mudou Island? What are they doing on Mudou Island?"
"We've got a distress message."
"what?"
Shi Potian roared in shock, and the exaggerated high-ranking military officer was taken aback, and cursed like thunderbolts and crackles.
Paris was taken aback, but he couldn't keep up with the man's speaking speed. He just vaguely guessed that the military had also received the distress message.Not only that, but the military channel is occupied, so they feel like they are facing a big enemy, worrying about whether there is something wrong with their brothers, but after investigation, no missions have passed through Mudouyu during this period, so the problem is even more serious. Who is it? Do you know how to call for help through this secret channel?
"No... that's not the case, we all received this text message on our mobile phones, look!" Almost arrested as a spy, Paris hurriedly picked up his mobile phone and explained.
The signal seemed to be absent, erratic, but the text message function was very tenacious. While he was defending himself, he received several text messages.
"I've received this too. Isn't that garbled code?" A researcher from the inspection center approached curiously. His mobile phone was also filled with this pile of rubbish. He thought it was a problem with the telecommunications company and called many times to complain. up.
"No! It's like...a voice message, someone is crying, and the location is in Mudouyu, so my brother and Han Shile went to check."
"How do you know the location?"
Taking a deep breath, they didn't expect them to be so negligent. The person in charge of the military glared at his subordinates several times. It took a lot of effort for their interpreters to locate them. As a result, these young people actually went ahead of them. step?What a shame.
"The person who sent the message left a coordinate on my social networking site."
"what?"
The veins on his forehead were throbbing, and the high-level military narrowed their eyes dangerously. A person who could send signals to the supposedly confidential military channel sent the distress message to everyone's mobile phone like a net. Leave the coordinates openly, what does this sound like?trap.
"How long has your brother been away?"
After pondering for a while, he whispered a few words to his subordinates, and the senior military officer tried to piece together all the incidents.In fact, it is not difficult to reason, but it is too incredible to be convincing.Unless those black algae are intelligent and know how to lure humans close in this way, tourists, rescuers, and finally even the military system really let them succeed, how terrible will the speed of spread be?
"It's been a while. I don't understand what you mean by blocking the sea. Does it mean that they can't come back? The wind and rain outside are so strong, they might be in danger."
"No! Blocking the sea means...no one can leave!"
Probably because they were cold and tired, those slightly injured tourists who were concentrated in the activity center did not complain too much because they had plenty of hot food and blankets, and they did not notice subtle changes in the atmosphere.
"What are you going to do? The soldiers won't let you go. Someone tried it before, but they blocked it."
After poking Santiago's arm, Li Weiling muttered curiously, indirectly confirming the FBI agent's guess that those soldiers with live ammunition were really not putting on a good show.
"I need your help." Looking around the activity center, Santiago walked casually calmly.
This is a venue purely for community gatherings and activities. There are four entrances and exits. Unsurprisingly, there are soldiers guarding them. Just kidding, they had to work out a plan.
"Trying to escape through the toilet's transom? I'm not going to help! That transom is too small for you to get through, and neither can I!"
Her mind was spinning very quickly, and Li Weiling obviously had the idea of leaving. Although she voluntarily went to the activity center to wait, this young lady didn't like being restricted what to do and what she couldn't do. When she found out that she couldn't leave the activity center at will After that, all she could think about was how to sneak around without anyone noticing.
"Why do you always think of the transom in the toilet first? This is not a movie." Rolling his eyes angrily, Santiago guessed that the soldiers must be reluctant to guard the entrance and exit, and everyone was afraid of being caught. Infected, he can use this kind of psychology to go out in a fair manner.
"Then what are you going to do? I'm really worried about Brother Shile and Xiaoan."
"Use your scream." Blinking his eyes and twitching the corners of his mouth, Santiago smiled mischievously.
Li Weiling stared at him dubiously for a while, but still took a deep breath in cooperation, and then screamed thunderously, while the blond young man fell on the floor and twitched in cooperation, intentionally or unintentionally tugging at the leg of his trousers, revealing The half of the calf was black and green, and the young girl understood his plan in an instant, crying and shouting even more exaggeratedly.
"What's the matter?" Asked in a bad tone, a heavily armed soldier ran in, frowning and staring at Santiago who fell on the ground, as expected, he did not dare to step forward to check carefully.
"His...his legs!" The acting was a bit contrived and exaggerated, but now no one was paying attention, Li Weiling kept screaming and pointing at Santi Jacob's calf.
The soldier saw only a part of the bruise, and immediately notified him as if he was facing an enemy, saying that he was unwilling to go near Santiago for inspection.
"Don't even get close to him, let us...let us deal with it!"
Rudely pushed Li Weiling away, and the soldier struggled to take two steps forward. Some brother let the wounded fall down and grabbed him because of his carelessness. As a result, his arm became black and swollen, and now he is lying half dead beside the inspection center He didn't know if he was saved or not, so he didn't want to have the same fate.
I have seen several more serious injuries, and Santiago fell to the ground stiffly and twitched. If the situation was not too inappropriate, he might laugh out loud because of his superb acting skills.
It was completely according to his plan, and after a while, several soldiers in protective clothing ran in carrying a stretcher, carefully carried Santiago up, and carried him away without stopping.If there is no accident, he should be sent to the tent for the severely injured. Santiago guessed that Han Shile should also be there, and after the reunion, he would find a way to contact Paris.
Since the military high-level "visited", the testing center was in a mess, and Paris hid in a corner with his handsome brow furrowed.Under such circumstances, he couldn't conduct analysis calmly. The instruments and equipment were too rudimentary, the researchers were inexperienced, and time pressure was added. Si only felt that his head was about to explode.
"Hey... are you okay?" The researcher who got to know him the fastest smiled bitterly as he handed Paris a can of bottled water.
He was just a little assistant in the laboratory, and the blond young man was a tourist who came here for vacation, so everyone was trapped here by chance?God can be kidding.
"No...it's not good at all. My brother is still outside. What if there is a conflict with the military? Although his temper has calmed down a lot in recent years, compared with ordinary people, he is still very hot."
Turning on and off the bottled water, Paris could not calm down. He was more afraid of those guns and bullets than the mysterious and unpredictable black algae. God knows if those soldiers would attack innocent people in order to complete the blockade mission shot?
In fact, human beings are extremely cruel to their own kind. More than one time in history, in order to eliminate the virus that cannot be dealt with, they will gather the infected and seriously ill patients and let them wait for death. The more extreme methods may kill them directly. , For the rights and interests of the vast majority of the people, what fate do these isolated minority face?
"Uh... I'm not sure if this is good news or bad news? Is that friend of yours named Han Shile?" Unable to tell whether it was embarrassment or sympathy, the researcher looked at Paris with embarrassment.
Paris was taken aback for a moment, and sprinkled some water on the table with unsteady hands, and the two of them rushed to collect the samples to be analyzed.
"Yes! He's a rescue team member. What's wrong? Did you find him?"
"You should have heard that the military picked up a speedboat near Mudou Island, and it was them!"
"My God! Are they all right?"
"I also heard from others, but it has not been confirmed. They had a series of car accidents on the way back. It seems that many people were infected because of this. The situation is very chaotic..."
"Where's my brother? Is there any news about my brother? His name is Santiago Wheeler. He has blond hair like me, so he's easy to recognize."
"Don't be so nervous. Just like you described, your brother's appearance is very recognizable. If he was sent here, it would have been a big gossip. We don't know. The most likely reason is that he is safe and was arrested. Place it at the activity center and wait."
Listening to the researcher's explanation, Paris breathed a sigh of relief, and then raised his handsome eyebrows. Since the other party mentioned Han Shile by name, did something happen to the rescue team member?
"He seems to be infected, in his hand, but the condition is not serious, he can also help the military arrange and take care of those wounded. And... I heard! The military made such a big move to investigate because of face. It took them a lot of effort to find out where the distress signal was, but your brother ran away with the rescue team first.”
His face turned pale, and Paris didn't expect that because he interpreted it for a while, he accidentally caused trouble for them. How did he know that what he thought was a simple distress message ended up involving the military's secret channel?
"Do you know where Han Shile is now?"
"I don't know, but there is no place here where you can close the door to torture and extract a confession. It is possible to borrow the conference room of the hospital!"
"Torture to extract a confession?" Paris asked anxiously, worried that he might have misunderstood the meaning of his Chinese.
"I'm joking, don't take it seriously!" couldn't help laughing, the researcher accidentally overturned the bottled water again, more liquid spilled on the table, and the samples to be analyzed were completely destroyed up.
Trying his best to save those samples, Paris frowned, unable to tell what was worrying about, and suddenly pushed one of the glass slides that had been splashed with water into the microscope.
"Wait! That tablet is no longer usable." Busy cleaning the table, the researcher casually reminded.
"I know, but...look!"
In fact, he didn't know what he was looking for. Paris was stunned for a while, and then excitedly called out to the researcher. The black algae, which was originally lifeless and lifeless, became active again because of the "pollution" of the water.
"Water... water can make them more active?" Taking a few breaths, the researcher took more samples and injected them with various liquids.
The higher the salinity of the liquid, the more active the black algae are. This is very reasonable. After all, they live on the bottom of the sea, but after leaving the sea, ordinary water sources seem to be able to act on them. The wind and rain outside are just the best medium for the spread of the black algae.
"Water can activate them, so... what if it's the other way around?" Pursing his thin lips, Paris patted himself on the head heavily. Why did they ignore such a simple experiment and kept trying to use antibiotics and other medicines? To deal with black algae, maybe as long as the temperature is raised, they can be completely wiped out.
In the meeting room, there was a whole row of military representatives standing, and at the other end of the long table, Han Shile was sitting here alone, looking anxiously at the only high-ranking military officer sitting down.
The officer looked at the information in his hand with a solemn expression. Han Shile had already fully explained everything he knew, except for the part where Huangsha was hidden, the current situation is already unclear enough, there is no need to add another The mystery of Yonghe's resurrection from the dead.
"You guys received a distress message, and then decided to go to the scene to investigate? What? Just trying to be a hero?" Raising half of his eyebrows, the senior military officer didn't quite believe this statement. Well, anyone who goes to sea in this weather is either an idiot or a spy.
"This is not to be a hero. I am a rescue team member. This is my duty." A Sichuan character was carved on his forehead. Han Shile didn't like his profession to be used as a joke. He didn't want to be a hero from the beginning. reasons for devoting yourself to this sacred work.
"In the end, the wind and waves were too strong, and the owner of the ship was swept into the sea. Then you jumped to save him?"
"Um."
"And then? What's in the bottom of the sea? Have you found the person who sent the message?"
Their fingers tapped impatiently on the table. While they were talking about this matter, they deliberately placed a mobile phone on the table. As the wind and rain intensified, garbled text messages poured in one by one, confirming what Han Shile said was true. And the military also sent a group of people to interpret it, and the result was the same as what Paris made, an uncomfortable, submerged cry.
"No, other than sea water, it's still sea water, but when I found him, it had already turned into this."
An uncomfortable chill crept up his back, and Han Shile thought again of the appearance of the shipowner's big brother "lying" in the sea with his limbs spread wide, like some deep-sea monster, slowly swinging from side to side with the ocean current, until he swam close, as if the prey had arrived He rushed up like a mouthful.
"Well, the guy said that what's attached to the human body is a kind of black algae-like creature, and they're trying to get rid of it."
"Black algae?"
"That's not the point, are you sure you haven't found the person or device that sent the message?"
He shook his head exaggeratedly. Although Han Shile was tired and cold at that time, and his sight in the sea was not very good, with his observation and judgment, it was impossible to miss any possible people or equipment.
"You know what this sounds like? A trap. Those black algae sent a distress message to trap you yourself. This is so ridiculous. The black algae has a way to send messages and hack into the military's secret channel? Do you believe it? "
Looking at the high-level military officer with a wry smile, Han Shile never thought about such a "deep" question. He didn't know that it was the black algae that did the strange thing. At first he thought it was some supernatural event, but many years had passed, and it turned out that The distress messages were sent again and again, as if those killed people were frozen in the moment before they died, constantly calling for help.
It's not that this kind of thing has never happened before. The rescue team has heard too many similar bizarre and unexplainable incidents, but he shut his mouth very wisely. He believes that the senior military officer is even more unwilling to accept such ghosts. statement.
"How's your hand...how?" He squeaked, and the high-ranking military officer expressed his concern if he had any deep meaning.
After being parasitized by black algae, the vast majority of people end up miserable, but Han Shile is obviously a type of person who exercises regularly and is physically fit. The black lump on his arm has subsided a lot, except for bruise-like traces Other than that, there's almost nothing serious about it.
"Oh! It's not a big problem, the tingling has disappeared." If it wasn't for the other party's reminder, Han Shile would have almost forgotten the injury on his arm, and subconsciously moved his ten fingers, no longer feeling paralyzed.
"Very good, but please stay in the containment tent first, and wait until you are sure that there is no problem, then move to the activity center to wait. Once we eliminate the black algae crisis, sea and air traffic will reopen."
"What will happen if... the epidemic cannot be controlled?"
There was no reply, and the atmosphere in the conference room instantly became gloomy and chilling. The senior military officer stared at Han Shile solemnly, hoping that he would not come to this point.
Watching the researchers fully armed and pushing a body bag into the inspection center without daring to take a breath, Paris's heart beat fast.
The rest of the people also put down their work and stared nervously at those who were in charge of carrying out the experiment. It wasn't until after the body bag was pushed into the isolation area that someone let out a long breath, and Paris was surprised that he had forgotten breathe.
"We... are now going to conduct the first drying experiment. Because of the characteristics of black algae, we hope that after evaporating water, we can inhibit its growth and eliminate them."
The people in charge of carrying out the experiment nodded towards Paris outside the isolation area as if seeking support. They had experimented on the samples and the results were very good, but the invasiveness of a single black algae was not high. So they plan to use the unfortunate deceased to conduct the next stage of the experiment. Although they did not ask for consent to conduct the experiment on the large body, they feel very sorry for their families, but the crisis is imminent, and they cannot delay any longer.
"Start to heat up." Another researcher adjusted the oven-like instrument, and everyone waited with bated breath.
"God! What is this smell? Oh my god—my god—!" After less than 2 minutes of heating, a strong rancid smell quickly permeated the entire testing center, and all the researchers were rushed like they were running for their lives. out.
"Willer!" The researcher who left last shouted back anxiously. The blond young man didn't go out with him. Instead, he frowned and approached the quarantine area obsessively.
"I want to see the result! Just one look!" Shouting toward the entrance, Paris endured the stench and approached step by step.
The corpse has long been out of shape, like a pool of rotten flesh soaked in black thick liquid, but now the black liquid has turned into a thin film and is peeling off piece by piece, leaving pits and holes inside bones.
"Be careful!" He ran back in a hurry, the researcher grabbed Paris in time, also noticed the changes in the "oven", and turned off the heat source with a disgusted expression.
"We need to take those samples and confirm that the increase in temperature can cause the death of the black algae." I don't know whether he was fainted by the smoke, or he was really excited, Paris's beautiful sea and sky blue eyes were shining brightly.
"Even if it can really kill the black algae, this method is useless." Biting his lower lip, the researcher stared at the temperature indicator of the "oven". Before roasting the black algae to death, they had cooked the patient first. Besides, they can't heat up the sea!
"It's not completely useless, at least, we know how to kill black algae on land, good job!"
Wearing gas masks, the military personnel quickly took over the laboratory. The researchers and Paris who hadn't left were kicked out, and then began a large-scale cleaning and disinfection. They really delayed for too long and dealt with the injured as soon as possible. , they complete the task.
The disgusting smell suddenly poured in,
Drenched in heavy rain outside, many people shivered and sneezed when they entered the room filled with warm air. Some young people who had been resting and waiting in the activity center enthusiastically handed over large dry towels. Tiago recognized Li Weiling who was giving orders like a young lady at a glance.
"Hey! You are here, where is Paris? Didn't he accompany you to the hospital?" Santiago took a step forward with his long legs, and slightly tightened Li Weiling's arm.
Li Weiling yelled softly in pain, then stared at the blond young man several times as if condemning, but unfortunately the other party didn't buy it at all, and still held her arm tightly, with the air of never letting go until she got an answer.
"The hospital only takes seriously injured patients, and to be honest, you wouldn't want to be there, the smell is so disgusting."
Curling her lips in disgust, Li Weiling looked at her friend.They all felt guilty and uneasy about leaving Liu Xiaoan who was alone in the ward, but who knew what would happen if they stayed in the hospital. Before they left, they saw several tourists snorkeling. Talking and laughing, the infected part of the black mass is not serious. Today, it was found that they were swollen like floating corpses. They could not move or speak and could only bleed out pus and blood. Li Weiling couldn't bear it for another second.
"Where's Pip? Where did you throw him?" Frowning his handsome brows, Santiago asked with a livid face. If there was any accident to that handsome blond man, he couldn't guarantee what he would do.
"He abandoned us! He said he would come to the activity center with us to wait, but he got into that bloody testing center and couldn't come out. He simply forgot that we were still waiting for him! It's too much!"
It’s okay not to mention it, but as soon as this matter was mentioned, Li Weiling’s anger burst out, and she slammed Santi Jacob viciously. The two brothers looked like themselves, self-righteous and disregarding the lives of others, and Santi Jacob ran to Mudouyu to go crazy , Paris went to the inspection center, and didn't even remember that there were idiots like them worrying about them!Heartless stuff.
"Testing center? Where is it?" Santiago raised his eyebrows slightly, cheering for his precious brother from the bottom of his heart, he knew that Paris could do it.
If anyone can find out the truth of this incident, it must be Paris, he is the most research-minded guy he has ever met, and of course, Santiago doesn't know many nerds who like to stay in the laboratory .
"Just in front of the hospital parking lot, there are a few tents that have been temporarily set up. They are so simple that they will die."
Unexpectedly, a young man intervened and interjected, followed by glaring at Santi Jacob with hostility, and his eyes moved to Li Weiling, which became gentle and lingering again. staged.
"In the hospital? Didn't you say that the situation in the hospital is not good?" Unable to ignore the soldiers standing at the entrances and exits with live ammunition, Santiago frowned slightly and looked around.
The atmosphere in the activity center is fairly peaceful. There are food, drink, warm blankets and some entertainment facilities. If he guessed correctly, this kind of battle is used to deal with some major disaster, so that the affected people have a place to "long time" stay.
Santiago is of course familiar with this arrangement. He is from New York. He was also responsible for maintaining order in several temporary shelters like this during [-]/[-]. Why should they stay here now?Beware of contagion, so quarantine?What's next?
"Well, those snorkeling tourists who survived were not as lucky as you, your "bruises" disappeared, but they became very serious, and the hospital smelled like that. "
Putting on an exaggerated disgusting expression, Li Weiling shuddered several times involuntarily. The only consolation was that her good sister Liu Xiaoan seemed to be another lucky one. The lump on her thigh seemed less obvious, but they No matter how good their relationship is, there is no way for Li Weiling to stay in the hospital for another second. She will definitely drive those smells and screams crazy.
"Can you take care of yourself? I need to go to that testing center. I don't worry about Pip staying there by himself. If the situation in the hospital is really as bad as you describe, it's safer for Pip to stay here."
"I knew you would definitely go to him. Why are you two brothers so clingy? Being separated is like parting from life to death. Do you need to be so exaggerated...Wait, why are you the only one coming back, Brother Shi Le?"
She rolled her eyes angrily. Li Weiling didn't know many foreigners. She guessed that they were all enthusiastic and unrestrained, so the brotherhood was like this. But at the level of the Willer brothers, it was a bit exaggerated. People who don't know may know Misunderstanding that they are lovers, is it necessary to be so inseparable?Even if it's really a couple, it doesn't need to seem like you can't live without the other person, right?
"When he was saving people, he was also stained with those things and was sent to the hospital, so I can also inquire about him in the past."
"Oh my God! Brother Shile, is it alright?"
"He was actually doing fine when we were separated, but with those .
Suffering from hot and cold for a while, Han Shile felt as if he was soaked in the smelly corpse water, and the air was filled with the smell of blood and putrefaction.He vaguely remembered being thrown into the back seat of the truck like some kind of waste like those blackened patients. During the rush, the violent shock made Han Shile's head scrambled.
The truck stopped without warning, and Han Shile was thrown out, hitting one of the wounded heavily, and the black pus and blood splashed all over the ground.
"Damn it!" The door of the car was opened, and the soldiers carrying the wounded all put on protective clothing, cursed in a low voice in disgust, and rudely lifted and pushed the wounded to get out of the car.
"Uh... I can get out of the car by myself." Staring at the soldiers who were walking towards him, Han Shile sighed helplessly. His condition is not that bad, there is no reason to be treated as a corpse, even if he is really a corpse, those soldiers How much respect should be shown, these people were innocent victims and did not become like this voluntarily.
"Oh! Be careful, there is a tent next to the testing center, please stay there." After a moment of stunned, the soldier replied dully, he probably didn't expect anyone to be conscious.
"Why would people from the military intervene? Have we been quarantined on this island?" Instead of leaving immediately, Han Shile helped to lift the injured people off the truck. He believed that these people could still be saved, so he Like him and Santiago, things might get better.
"I don't know, I'm just following orders." Responding coldly, the soldier glanced at Han Shile and acted more cautiously.
In the temporary shelter tent, there were already covered with blackened wounded patients, those in serious condition were motionless like corpses, and could only lie in the corner, dripping with black blood.
Those who were lucky enough to be as mobile as Han Shile were only infected on their limbs, and they stayed at the other end in a panic. They might want to leave to prevent their infection from getting worse, but there seemed to be several conflicts, and the guards were at the entrance and exit. The soldiers, indifferently and threateningly clutching their spears, walked back and forth from time to time.
"Mudouyu..." Biting his lower lip, Han Shile pondered for a while. He couldn't prove it, but the cause of everything seemed to be inseparable from that mysterious sea area.
"What?" Still moving diligently, the soldier responded irritably. No one wants to do this kind of mission. God knows if there will be a larger-scale outbreak. He doesn't want to be left in this place at all. small island.
"Mudou Island, everything started from there. First, tourists snorkeled there, disappeared, and after being found, it became like that. As for us..."
"you?"
"We rented a speedboat to Mudou Island to check after we received the distress message." I couldn't help regretting my actions. If he and Santiago hadn't insisted on going out to sea, maybe the big brother of the ship owner would be fine, but if If he didn't go to sea, he wouldn't know that Du Yonghe, who changed his name to Huang Sha, didn't die.
"Distress message? Why do you know about the distress message? It's a secret! Who leaked it?"
"Secret? What secret? That distress message was sent to everyone's mobile phone, even on social networking sites."
Eyes widened in horror, the soldier wrapped under the protective clothing ran away in a hurry. Han Shile was taken aback by his reaction. Why did a distress message become a military secret?
"Give me the results! I want to know what we are dealing with? New types of biochemical weapons? How long have you been using them? What should I do with those patients? Burn them? Give me the results!" Responsible for this time The senior military officers of the "rescue mission" stepped into the inspection center with a livid face.
They received a report from the hospital. At first they thought it was a simple medical mission, and they needed their military to send helicopters or transport planes to help patients transfer to other hospitals. Who knew that the situation was completely beyond their imagination. This was an infectious disease, and many soldiers fell down because of it. This made him very angry. He didn't like to rashly send his soldiers to the battlefield without knowing the enemy's situation.
"No! After preliminary analysis, this is more like... a natural phenomenon?" The person in charge of the testing center couldn't tell whether it was embarrassment or helplessness.
He agreed with Paris's inference that the black algae migrated instinctively, and "humans" were just hosts that happened to pass by. There may be more creatures parasitized by them, and it is not sure how extensive the disaster is.
"Natural phenomenon? You call those half-dead people a natural phenomenon? Give me the answer, how to save them? Also, how to solve the black algae pollution?"
"Uh... if it invades the human body, if the body is strong enough, the black algae can't actually harm... the human body."
"What if they're not strong enough? Let them fend for themselves?"
Facing the threatening questioning from the top military officials, the person in charge of the inspection center turned blue and pale for a while.They have tried several types of antibiotics, which may be useful at first, but the speed of adaptation of the black algae is amazing, and it seems to have a common memory, even if the black algae are not in the same host, they can resist the antibiotics.
Unless they can find a strong and effective drug to kill all the black algae in one go, they will not be able to "cure" this problem. The most damning thing is that if they are lucky to find such a powerful drug, the host will be killed first , that is, these fragile human beings.
"It's not about letting them fend for themselves, it's just...there's not much we can do at the moment. The most important thing is not to let the disaster spread, seal off the sea area, and keep people away from those injured. Maybe after a while , the black algae will die naturally, after all, there should be something threatening at the bottom of the sea, so there will be a large-scale migration.”
Even though it was raining heavily outside, there was a simple air conditioner in the testing center. When he said this, the person in charge was still sweating involuntarily. He announced the death date of those patients in a disguised form. Algae can only die along with it.
"Don't you think your statement is ridiculous? If there is something under the sea that threatens these black algae, wouldn't it threaten us?"
I don't like such an ambiguous answer. Although the military has already taken measures to seal off the sea area and isolate the island, this is only a temporary solution, not the root cause. The crisis still exists without removing the black algae for a day.
He waved his hand irritably. The high-ranking military officer led his non-commissioned officers and soldiers out of the inspection center. They still have a lot of things to deal with. Nothing out of hand has happened yet. Once the isolation lasts for a long time, those people will definitely rebound. He If they don't want to get into a situation that requires force to suppress, these researchers had better give him a solution as soon as possible.
"and many more!"
Staying in the corner all the time, Paris pursed his thin lips, and finally plucked up the courage to shout. He knew that his status was inconvenient and he should not express his opinion, but he really wanted to know the safety of Santiago. Before the military completely seals off the sea area of Mudou Island, he hopes to ask the other party to send someone to find his brother and Han Shile first.
"Who are you? Why is there an irrelevant person in the inspection center?" Angrily roared, the high-ranking military who was not used to being questioned glared at Paris with a livid face.In addition to assisting in isolation and quarantine, the military actually has other confidential tasks, and there should be no idlers coming in and out here.
"He's not, he...he's the consultant of the testing center, and he's the one who found out the characteristics of black algae." Hastily excused Paris, the person in charge explained profusely.
He shouldn't have let Paris stay here in the first place. This is a big loophole in the testing center, but they have nothing to do. If Paris didn't propose another research direction, they might still be in the wrong circle.
"Advisor? What do you want to say?" He looked at Paris with disbelief. The head of the military barely suppressed his temper. He had too much work to deal with, and he didn't have time to pay attention to these otherworldly researchers.
"Before you seal off that sea area, can you help search, my brother and friends might still be there."
"Mudou Island? What are they doing on Mudou Island?"
"We've got a distress message."
"what?"
Shi Potian roared in shock, and the exaggerated high-ranking military officer was taken aback, and cursed like thunderbolts and crackles.
Paris was taken aback, but he couldn't keep up with the man's speaking speed. He just vaguely guessed that the military had also received the distress message.Not only that, but the military channel is occupied, so they feel like they are facing a big enemy, worrying about whether there is something wrong with their brothers, but after investigation, no missions have passed through Mudouyu during this period, so the problem is even more serious. Who is it? Do you know how to call for help through this secret channel?
"No... that's not the case, we all received this text message on our mobile phones, look!" Almost arrested as a spy, Paris hurriedly picked up his mobile phone and explained.
The signal seemed to be absent, erratic, but the text message function was very tenacious. While he was defending himself, he received several text messages.
"I've received this too. Isn't that garbled code?" A researcher from the inspection center approached curiously. His mobile phone was also filled with this pile of rubbish. He thought it was a problem with the telecommunications company and called many times to complain. up.
"No! It's like...a voice message, someone is crying, and the location is in Mudouyu, so my brother and Han Shile went to check."
"How do you know the location?"
Taking a deep breath, they didn't expect them to be so negligent. The person in charge of the military glared at his subordinates several times. It took a lot of effort for their interpreters to locate them. As a result, these young people actually went ahead of them. step?What a shame.
"The person who sent the message left a coordinate on my social networking site."
"what?"
The veins on his forehead were throbbing, and the high-level military narrowed their eyes dangerously. A person who could send signals to the supposedly confidential military channel sent the distress message to everyone's mobile phone like a net. Leave the coordinates openly, what does this sound like?trap.
"How long has your brother been away?"
After pondering for a while, he whispered a few words to his subordinates, and the senior military officer tried to piece together all the incidents.In fact, it is not difficult to reason, but it is too incredible to be convincing.Unless those black algae are intelligent and know how to lure humans close in this way, tourists, rescuers, and finally even the military system really let them succeed, how terrible will the speed of spread be?
"It's been a while. I don't understand what you mean by blocking the sea. Does it mean that they can't come back? The wind and rain outside are so strong, they might be in danger."
"No! Blocking the sea means...no one can leave!"
Probably because they were cold and tired, those slightly injured tourists who were concentrated in the activity center did not complain too much because they had plenty of hot food and blankets, and they did not notice subtle changes in the atmosphere.
"What are you going to do? The soldiers won't let you go. Someone tried it before, but they blocked it."
After poking Santiago's arm, Li Weiling muttered curiously, indirectly confirming the FBI agent's guess that those soldiers with live ammunition were really not putting on a good show.
"I need your help." Looking around the activity center, Santiago walked casually calmly.
This is a venue purely for community gatherings and activities. There are four entrances and exits. Unsurprisingly, there are soldiers guarding them. Just kidding, they had to work out a plan.
"Trying to escape through the toilet's transom? I'm not going to help! That transom is too small for you to get through, and neither can I!"
Her mind was spinning very quickly, and Li Weiling obviously had the idea of leaving. Although she voluntarily went to the activity center to wait, this young lady didn't like being restricted what to do and what she couldn't do. When she found out that she couldn't leave the activity center at will After that, all she could think about was how to sneak around without anyone noticing.
"Why do you always think of the transom in the toilet first? This is not a movie." Rolling his eyes angrily, Santiago guessed that the soldiers must be reluctant to guard the entrance and exit, and everyone was afraid of being caught. Infected, he can use this kind of psychology to go out in a fair manner.
"Then what are you going to do? I'm really worried about Brother Shile and Xiaoan."
"Use your scream." Blinking his eyes and twitching the corners of his mouth, Santiago smiled mischievously.
Li Weiling stared at him dubiously for a while, but still took a deep breath in cooperation, and then screamed thunderously, while the blond young man fell on the floor and twitched in cooperation, intentionally or unintentionally tugging at the leg of his trousers, revealing The half of the calf was black and green, and the young girl understood his plan in an instant, crying and shouting even more exaggeratedly.
"What's the matter?" Asked in a bad tone, a heavily armed soldier ran in, frowning and staring at Santiago who fell on the ground, as expected, he did not dare to step forward to check carefully.
"His...his legs!" The acting was a bit contrived and exaggerated, but now no one was paying attention, Li Weiling kept screaming and pointing at Santi Jacob's calf.
The soldier saw only a part of the bruise, and immediately notified him as if he was facing an enemy, saying that he was unwilling to go near Santiago for inspection.
"Don't even get close to him, let us...let us deal with it!"
Rudely pushed Li Weiling away, and the soldier struggled to take two steps forward. Some brother let the wounded fall down and grabbed him because of his carelessness. As a result, his arm became black and swollen, and now he is lying half dead beside the inspection center He didn't know if he was saved or not, so he didn't want to have the same fate.
I have seen several more serious injuries, and Santiago fell to the ground stiffly and twitched. If the situation was not too inappropriate, he might laugh out loud because of his superb acting skills.
It was completely according to his plan, and after a while, several soldiers in protective clothing ran in carrying a stretcher, carefully carried Santiago up, and carried him away without stopping.If there is no accident, he should be sent to the tent for the severely injured. Santiago guessed that Han Shile should also be there, and after the reunion, he would find a way to contact Paris.
Since the military high-level "visited", the testing center was in a mess, and Paris hid in a corner with his handsome brow furrowed.Under such circumstances, he couldn't conduct analysis calmly. The instruments and equipment were too rudimentary, the researchers were inexperienced, and time pressure was added. Si only felt that his head was about to explode.
"Hey... are you okay?" The researcher who got to know him the fastest smiled bitterly as he handed Paris a can of bottled water.
He was just a little assistant in the laboratory, and the blond young man was a tourist who came here for vacation, so everyone was trapped here by chance?God can be kidding.
"No...it's not good at all. My brother is still outside. What if there is a conflict with the military? Although his temper has calmed down a lot in recent years, compared with ordinary people, he is still very hot."
Turning on and off the bottled water, Paris could not calm down. He was more afraid of those guns and bullets than the mysterious and unpredictable black algae. God knows if those soldiers would attack innocent people in order to complete the blockade mission shot?
In fact, human beings are extremely cruel to their own kind. More than one time in history, in order to eliminate the virus that cannot be dealt with, they will gather the infected and seriously ill patients and let them wait for death. The more extreme methods may kill them directly. , For the rights and interests of the vast majority of the people, what fate do these isolated minority face?
"Uh... I'm not sure if this is good news or bad news? Is that friend of yours named Han Shile?" Unable to tell whether it was embarrassment or sympathy, the researcher looked at Paris with embarrassment.
Paris was taken aback for a moment, and sprinkled some water on the table with unsteady hands, and the two of them rushed to collect the samples to be analyzed.
"Yes! He's a rescue team member. What's wrong? Did you find him?"
"You should have heard that the military picked up a speedboat near Mudou Island, and it was them!"
"My God! Are they all right?"
"I also heard from others, but it has not been confirmed. They had a series of car accidents on the way back. It seems that many people were infected because of this. The situation is very chaotic..."
"Where's my brother? Is there any news about my brother? His name is Santiago Wheeler. He has blond hair like me, so he's easy to recognize."
"Don't be so nervous. Just like you described, your brother's appearance is very recognizable. If he was sent here, it would have been a big gossip. We don't know. The most likely reason is that he is safe and was arrested. Place it at the activity center and wait."
Listening to the researcher's explanation, Paris breathed a sigh of relief, and then raised his handsome eyebrows. Since the other party mentioned Han Shile by name, did something happen to the rescue team member?
"He seems to be infected, in his hand, but the condition is not serious, he can also help the military arrange and take care of those wounded. And... I heard! The military made such a big move to investigate because of face. It took them a lot of effort to find out where the distress signal was, but your brother ran away with the rescue team first.”
His face turned pale, and Paris didn't expect that because he interpreted it for a while, he accidentally caused trouble for them. How did he know that what he thought was a simple distress message ended up involving the military's secret channel?
"Do you know where Han Shile is now?"
"I don't know, but there is no place here where you can close the door to torture and extract a confession. It is possible to borrow the conference room of the hospital!"
"Torture to extract a confession?" Paris asked anxiously, worried that he might have misunderstood the meaning of his Chinese.
"I'm joking, don't take it seriously!" couldn't help laughing, the researcher accidentally overturned the bottled water again, more liquid spilled on the table, and the samples to be analyzed were completely destroyed up.
Trying his best to save those samples, Paris frowned, unable to tell what was worrying about, and suddenly pushed one of the glass slides that had been splashed with water into the microscope.
"Wait! That tablet is no longer usable." Busy cleaning the table, the researcher casually reminded.
"I know, but...look!"
In fact, he didn't know what he was looking for. Paris was stunned for a while, and then excitedly called out to the researcher. The black algae, which was originally lifeless and lifeless, became active again because of the "pollution" of the water.
"Water... water can make them more active?" Taking a few breaths, the researcher took more samples and injected them with various liquids.
The higher the salinity of the liquid, the more active the black algae are. This is very reasonable. After all, they live on the bottom of the sea, but after leaving the sea, ordinary water sources seem to be able to act on them. The wind and rain outside are just the best medium for the spread of the black algae.
"Water can activate them, so... what if it's the other way around?" Pursing his thin lips, Paris patted himself on the head heavily. Why did they ignore such a simple experiment and kept trying to use antibiotics and other medicines? To deal with black algae, maybe as long as the temperature is raised, they can be completely wiped out.
In the meeting room, there was a whole row of military representatives standing, and at the other end of the long table, Han Shile was sitting here alone, looking anxiously at the only high-ranking military officer sitting down.
The officer looked at the information in his hand with a solemn expression. Han Shile had already fully explained everything he knew, except for the part where Huangsha was hidden, the current situation is already unclear enough, there is no need to add another The mystery of Yonghe's resurrection from the dead.
"You guys received a distress message, and then decided to go to the scene to investigate? What? Just trying to be a hero?" Raising half of his eyebrows, the senior military officer didn't quite believe this statement. Well, anyone who goes to sea in this weather is either an idiot or a spy.
"This is not to be a hero. I am a rescue team member. This is my duty." A Sichuan character was carved on his forehead. Han Shile didn't like his profession to be used as a joke. He didn't want to be a hero from the beginning. reasons for devoting yourself to this sacred work.
"In the end, the wind and waves were too strong, and the owner of the ship was swept into the sea. Then you jumped to save him?"
"Um."
"And then? What's in the bottom of the sea? Have you found the person who sent the message?"
Their fingers tapped impatiently on the table. While they were talking about this matter, they deliberately placed a mobile phone on the table. As the wind and rain intensified, garbled text messages poured in one by one, confirming what Han Shile said was true. And the military also sent a group of people to interpret it, and the result was the same as what Paris made, an uncomfortable, submerged cry.
"No, other than sea water, it's still sea water, but when I found him, it had already turned into this."
An uncomfortable chill crept up his back, and Han Shile thought again of the appearance of the shipowner's big brother "lying" in the sea with his limbs spread wide, like some deep-sea monster, slowly swinging from side to side with the ocean current, until he swam close, as if the prey had arrived He rushed up like a mouthful.
"Well, the guy said that what's attached to the human body is a kind of black algae-like creature, and they're trying to get rid of it."
"Black algae?"
"That's not the point, are you sure you haven't found the person or device that sent the message?"
He shook his head exaggeratedly. Although Han Shile was tired and cold at that time, and his sight in the sea was not very good, with his observation and judgment, it was impossible to miss any possible people or equipment.
"You know what this sounds like? A trap. Those black algae sent a distress message to trap you yourself. This is so ridiculous. The black algae has a way to send messages and hack into the military's secret channel? Do you believe it? "
Looking at the high-level military officer with a wry smile, Han Shile never thought about such a "deep" question. He didn't know that it was the black algae that did the strange thing. At first he thought it was some supernatural event, but many years had passed, and it turned out that The distress messages were sent again and again, as if those killed people were frozen in the moment before they died, constantly calling for help.
It's not that this kind of thing has never happened before. The rescue team has heard too many similar bizarre and unexplainable incidents, but he shut his mouth very wisely. He believes that the senior military officer is even more unwilling to accept such ghosts. statement.
"How's your hand...how?" He squeaked, and the high-ranking military officer expressed his concern if he had any deep meaning.
After being parasitized by black algae, the vast majority of people end up miserable, but Han Shile is obviously a type of person who exercises regularly and is physically fit. The black lump on his arm has subsided a lot, except for bruise-like traces Other than that, there's almost nothing serious about it.
"Oh! It's not a big problem, the tingling has disappeared." If it wasn't for the other party's reminder, Han Shile would have almost forgotten the injury on his arm, and subconsciously moved his ten fingers, no longer feeling paralyzed.
"Very good, but please stay in the containment tent first, and wait until you are sure that there is no problem, then move to the activity center to wait. Once we eliminate the black algae crisis, sea and air traffic will reopen."
"What will happen if... the epidemic cannot be controlled?"
There was no reply, and the atmosphere in the conference room instantly became gloomy and chilling. The senior military officer stared at Han Shile solemnly, hoping that he would not come to this point.
Watching the researchers fully armed and pushing a body bag into the inspection center without daring to take a breath, Paris's heart beat fast.
The rest of the people also put down their work and stared nervously at those who were in charge of carrying out the experiment. It wasn't until after the body bag was pushed into the isolation area that someone let out a long breath, and Paris was surprised that he had forgotten breathe.
"We... are now going to conduct the first drying experiment. Because of the characteristics of black algae, we hope that after evaporating water, we can inhibit its growth and eliminate them."
The people in charge of carrying out the experiment nodded towards Paris outside the isolation area as if seeking support. They had experimented on the samples and the results were very good, but the invasiveness of a single black algae was not high. So they plan to use the unfortunate deceased to conduct the next stage of the experiment. Although they did not ask for consent to conduct the experiment on the large body, they feel very sorry for their families, but the crisis is imminent, and they cannot delay any longer.
"Start to heat up." Another researcher adjusted the oven-like instrument, and everyone waited with bated breath.
"God! What is this smell? Oh my god—my god—!" After less than 2 minutes of heating, a strong rancid smell quickly permeated the entire testing center, and all the researchers were rushed like they were running for their lives. out.
"Willer!" The researcher who left last shouted back anxiously. The blond young man didn't go out with him. Instead, he frowned and approached the quarantine area obsessively.
"I want to see the result! Just one look!" Shouting toward the entrance, Paris endured the stench and approached step by step.
The corpse has long been out of shape, like a pool of rotten flesh soaked in black thick liquid, but now the black liquid has turned into a thin film and is peeling off piece by piece, leaving pits and holes inside bones.
"Be careful!" He ran back in a hurry, the researcher grabbed Paris in time, also noticed the changes in the "oven", and turned off the heat source with a disgusted expression.
"We need to take those samples and confirm that the increase in temperature can cause the death of the black algae." I don't know whether he was fainted by the smoke, or he was really excited, Paris's beautiful sea and sky blue eyes were shining brightly.
"Even if it can really kill the black algae, this method is useless." Biting his lower lip, the researcher stared at the temperature indicator of the "oven". Before roasting the black algae to death, they had cooked the patient first. Besides, they can't heat up the sea!
"It's not completely useless, at least, we know how to kill black algae on land, good job!"
Wearing gas masks, the military personnel quickly took over the laboratory. The researchers and Paris who hadn't left were kicked out, and then began a large-scale cleaning and disinfection. They really delayed for too long and dealt with the injured as soon as possible. , they complete the task.
The disgusting smell suddenly poured in,
