Chapter 161 Interlude·Reminiscence (two in one)

This is a ward made of movable steel plates.

There is a hospital bed next to the window. There is a locker next to the bed. There are several magazines on the cabinet. There are orange citrus in the fruit basket. Opposite the hospital bed, there is an LCD monitor.

A black-and-white movie from the last century was played on the monitor, a funny mime. The movie had no lines, and the actors used movements and exaggerated expressions to perform comedy.

Tang Xue thought that by the standards of this era, this was really a luxurious and luxurious room.

She was lying on the hospital bed, with an intravenous drip on her wrist, looking sideways out of the window.

There was the sea outside the window, and the wind carried the salty smell of the sea. It was another cloudy day, and the sea water was not blue at all like the book said, but just turbid and yellow.

She pinched her right calf, and her slender legs trembled. In this state, she could barely walk for a while with a cane, but if she went a little faster, she would probably fall.

She shook her head slightly and shifted her gaze to the huge thing outside the window.

It was a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier parked on the sea, occupying almost all the field of view outside the window. The deafening sound of jet engines came from over there, and a fighter jet took off from the deck of the carrier, high in the sky.

Sweeping across the sky, leaving a trail.

"That night he drove his car and took me here to eat seafood and barbecue. We planned to take wedding photos on the beach." She pointed to a beach outside: "It was hard for me to spare one night of free time, because I

When I was working at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a highly contagious infectious disease broke out at that time, and unfortunately many of my colleagues were also infected with the disease. I had to work overtime, sometimes until late at night."

Even in that prosperous era, destroyers were a symbol of absolute military power.

"We searched at the location you provided, but no survivors were found," the woman said.

No matter how powerful the mutant is, even the "Hel" parent body that Tang Xue saw on the other side of the strait at the border can only end up being turned into coke when faced with aircraft and artillery.

This is the largest single instrument among all armed forces. Only a handful of top navies in the world can manufacture and maintain the operation of such an ultimate weapon.

Was she noticed? She was hiding something.

If all the infected were killed, the right to live in this land could be regained. They must have gone on a killing spree. In a few days, they would be able to celebrate the victory of the war while drinking and drinking.

Land is also a precious resource. With land, more resources can be excavated, more people can be reproduced, and productivity can be improved.

"I don't know anything. I have never contacted them." Tang Xue said without changing her face.

"Yes." The two bodyguards nodded and went to stand guard at the door.

She felt strange. The coordinates she revealed were absolutely correct. She was still living in that place last year. She could not have remembered it wrong. If no survivors were found, there were only two possibilities. One was that the gathering place had moved, and the other was that

The people there fled in all directions, probably all dead.

It's just that she basically has a straight face, exuding a cold and serious feeling, which makes it difficult for people to get close to her.

"After the first wave of contagion passed, I began to study the pathogens that caused this infectious disease in the laboratory, and noticed something unusual. I talked on the phone with my college classmates and doctoral supervisor, and contacted everyone I knew.

Experts, we all realize that this pathogen exists in a way that cannot be explained by modern medicine, but the international community has not paid attention to this, and people without professional knowledge do not know what this means."

They must ensure that they have enough firepower and supplies to deal with all emergencies that may arise, because if this aircraft carrier is also sunk, I am afraid there will no longer be enough supplies and experienced crews to gather to send a second aircraft carrier.

.

Her facial features are fairly regular, but there is nothing outstanding. Judging from her appearance alone, if the standard is 10, she can probably score a six. If she is in her twenties now, she should have a

A level of about seven points.

Over the past few days, she had roughly understood how strong the military strength of the HSA was. It was not a poor organization. They had been preparing for several years in the country on the other side of the North Sea, and were fully prepared before setting off to the outside world.

"I can understand that."

"I also lived in Zhoushan City for a while, and I haven't seen this sea for a long time." The woman said softly.

"We have not yet found any trace of the adult male you mentioned traveling with you. We are sorry, but our manpower is very limited and we cannot devote too much energy to this matter. Of course, we will still search

It will take a while, but the search method will rely more on drones. I hope you can understand. After all, it has been 16 days now and his chance of survival is already very low."

From now on, about every six months, a ship transporting living supplies will arrive from the Northern Federation. The woman said that by then, Tang Xue can follow the transport ship back to human society.

This is a face with wrinkles. The owner of this face is no longer young. The crow's feet, forehead lines, and dark circles under the eyes show that she has an irregular life schedule and probably often stays up late.

"I remember that time when I met my fiancé. We met on a blind date. Because my parents had been urging me to get married, I went to the blind date and he was younger than me.

He is a policeman. I don’t know how he could like such a cold woman like me. He took the initiative to invite me to dinner and go to the movies. I don’t have many acquaintances in this city. After going back and forth, I became familiar with him. It was natural.

Start dating him."

Although this is not a mothership built after the disaster, it can be restarted and operated, and the economic strength and military strength of the Northern Federation can be roughly guessed.

This is not an exaggeration. Anyone who understands modern military will understand that no mutant monster can withstand the carpet bombing, rocket mines, tank clusters, and the ultimate mushroom cloud bombs of the organized army.

"Thanks."

This aircraft carrier with a full load of 97,000 tons was built in the pre-disaster era. There are now 3,212 people working on the ship, and a total of 90 aircraft are loaded, including fighter jets, reconnaissance aircraft, transport aircraft and other types of aircraft, except

In addition, it also carries land heavy tanks.

Tang Xue realized that she sent the two bodyguards away not to examine her, but to create an opportunity for both parties to be alone.

"Maybe I remembered it wrong. After all, it happened many years ago, and I heard about it from others," Tang Xue said.

Its reference cost is about 30 billion, and the annual maintenance and labor costs are also a huge number.

"But it's not all bad memories. Although there are many bad memories, I always remember the good parts. I even feel that as long as those good memories exist, the bad memories don't matter."

If this ship is really loaded with three hydrogen bombs, it can be said that it will be easy for HSA to destroy Zhoushan City. It is impossible for any mutant to fight against this well-equipped team.

Tang Xue saw the entire process of the aircraft carrier docking near the port. Four tugboats dragged its four corners and took it to the port. The scene looked like four tires were installed on its chassis, but the tires

Relative to its size, it is as small as a toy. The four tugboats only help it fine-tune its direction. The real power still comes from the nuclear power plant inside it.

But everyone knows that the infected are not the real enemy. If you blow this land into scorched earth, you will get nothing. It will only waste precious ammunition. What is burning in the fuel tank of a fighter jet is not oil, but money.

In order to achieve the goal of "saving the world", which is too far away to see the road, we must cherish every limited material.

"Is that so?" The woman nodded, raised a stool, sat beside the bed, and peeled a tangerine: "Are you still used to living in the new ward? The conditions here should be much better than the isolation ward. If you have any requirements, you can

You can bring it up and we will try our best to accommodate it.”

"We are determined to make the media and the authorities of various countries aware of the dangers of this pathogen. I told my fiancé that our wedding must be postponed because I had to attend a scientific seminar, so I did not take pictures with him.

Wedding photos, I didn’t get to hold a wedding with him, I didn’t have a child with him, that day he was sent to the airport, I waved and said goodbye to him, I still can’t believe it, that was the last time we saw each other.”

There are many people on the deck busy working, but the distance is too far. From here, you can only see a bunch of moving black spots.

Supplies in a certain area are limited. If oil, steel, gunpowder, minerals and other materials in a very small area relative to the world are exhausted near the pole, then humans will completely lose the ability to explore the outside world.

"He was very busy at work, and sometimes the agreed date to meet had to be postponed, but he was a good man, and I was willing to wait for him and marry him. One day he proposed to me, and we put on our wedding rings and met.

We met each other’s parents and agreed on a wedding date. We plan to have a child after we get married, and we go to the hospital together for a pregnancy test. I’m very much looking forward to our wedding.”

In essence, this is a race and a gamble, betting that they can thoroughly study the characteristics of "Hel" and create a special medicine before all the supplies are consumed. At the very least, they must open up a new area where they can move freely.

Replenish those non-renewable resources.

"My memory of this city is not very good. Its pace is too slow. My colleagues are not motivated. They only think about how to make money from the elderly people of rich families. They provide customized services for rich people.

Services and consulting, the laboratory is just a tool for them to apply for research funding."

Tang Xue didn't say anything, silently observing the woman's expression.

She was ready to take off her clothes, but the woman's attention was not on her. She just stood up and looked out the window, looking at something in the distance.

We have to be fully prepared before setting off, because human beings cannot afford to suffer any blows.

human society.

Tang Xue thought, that sounds like something out of a fairy tale.

Six years after the disaster, everyone should understand that force cannot save the world. If you want to conquer those ubiquitous molds, you can only rely on the power of knowledge.

The woman recalls the past.

This was the only real news she revealed. After all, this information was of no use to her. Selling it could gain some trust.

A few days ago, someone interrogated Tang Xue about the information she knew. She concealed a lot of things and only gave the coordinates of the survivor gathering place facing the sea in the north. She made up several stories to show that she only got the information by chance.

Know where survivors gather.

"Today is the second day after the quarantine period." The woman took a notepad from the bedside table, turned it over, signed the date, and put a check mark: "From today on, you don't need to take blood tests every day.

, and there is good news. Your application has been approved. I will take the mixed-breed beagle to your room in the afternoon. I have been responsible for feeding it these days. He is really a child with a good personality. You guys

It is well maintained.”

"Judging from the results of our investigation, there is indeed a gathering place there." The woman said: "I mean, we only found ruins. The reconnaissance team took photos and videos and transmitted them back. It was ravaged by something.

Judging from the traces of decomposition on the corpse, it should have happened in early spring. Their defense line was broken by the infected, and the corpse was chewed into disarray. I want to ask you if you know anything about this."

There were footsteps outside the door, and the door suddenly opened. A woman in a white coat walked into the house, and two armed soldiers accompanying her followed her and closed the door.

"I studied at an overseas university, and my major is infectious diseases in internal medicine. The title of my doctoral thesis is 'Rapid Molecular Diagnosis of Invasive Fungal Infections'. Due to my parents' request, after my graduation defense, I chose

Return to China for development and work at the International Health Care Center in Zhoushan City."

Do you still need to take off your clothes? Tang Xue thought, this is the first time in so many days. In the past, she basically just drew blood and left in a hurry. Is it because she was out of the isolation period, so she was willing to check?

After all, she is a researcher, not a star in the spotlight.

"Yes." The woman nodded, turned to the two bodyguards behind her and said, "You go to the door and wait for a while. Next, I will conduct a strip check on her."

"I feel very good, but sometimes I have nightmares at night." Tang Xue took the tangerine she handed over, peeled off a piece and put it in her mouth to chew.

This is also the reason why the fleet came to Zhoushan City. They came to collect materials from the local area for research. I heard from the woman that they seemed to plan to establish a research base in Zhoushan City. Unless there are special circumstances, the mothership would not

It will leave the territorial waters near Zhoushan City.

"I've finished telling my story. This is the first time I've told this story to others. I swear I didn't hide it, so I hope you can tell me your story."

The woman took out two notebooks from her arms. There were handwritten words on the cover of the notebooks, which read "Infectious Body Illustration" and "Xiao Yun'er's Observation Diary".

She placed these two notebooks in front of Tang Xue, and shifted her gaze from the desolate beach to Tang Xue's face.

Tang Xue didn't know how to describe her expression. Tang Xue felt that she would always have such a straight face and would never smile to others again.
