12. Countdown
Oftum-482, 236 individuals and experiment-related applications for application are often submitted to C7. The responses to C7 have always been quick. However, an accident has occurred recently.
All test plans originally scheduled for June 22 to the end of the month were inexplicably cancelled. A few days later, the relevant news also spread from the C7 area.
Someone is trapped in 482.
...
July 16
Outside the 13th containment room, Zhang Qing observed Wang Yao lying on 482 through the camera in front of the console.
There are many more equipment in the open shelter, connected to Wang Yao's body. They are instruments used to observe his physical condition and maintain his physical functions.
Wang Yao kept breathing calmly, like a sleeping person. In fact, he was indeed sleeping soundly, but it was very long. Compared to him, Zhang Qing, who was guarding here day and night, seemed much haggard. She felt guilty that it was his responsibility to Wang Yao like this.
Since Wang Yao was trapped in 482 for more than 20 days on June 22, all his work has become waiting outside the 13 shelter, which is the responsibility of being a helper.
Today is the 25th day of Wang Yao's sleep, a very bad day. Because today we are about to enter 236.
16:32
Enter the countdown: 33 minutes.
"Zhang Qing." He Ying, wearing a white coat, walked into the control room. Today she did not put on makeup and wore black-framed glasses. Her hair was tied neatly on the back of her head. This made her less charming and more elegant and capable.
"Deputy Team Leader He." Zhang Qing stood up and said with a far-fetched smile.
He Ying frowned slightly, but she was helpless. Zhang Qing had this stubborn personality and would not listen to anyone's advice.
"Didn't he wake up yet?"
"No." Zhang Qing shook her head. "It will take less than half an hour to enter 482, what should we do?"
"The group of exclusive researchers and doctors of 482 and 236 are having video conferences." He Ying said: "The bottom line is 15 minutes. If you don't wake up, you can only force him to separate from 482."
"It's all my fault..." Zhang Qing blamed herself. She was a little excited to become a helper of a special ability person for the first time, and she didn't think about the interests.
"You can't blame you, I can only say that this kid is not lucky." He Ying looked at the scene in the monitor. "It just made him catch up with 482's aunt. The 03 committee has responded and temporarily stopped any tests related to 482 without any deadline.
"Deputy Team Leader." On the side, the observer suddenly pointed at the screen and said in surprise.
"He seems to be awake!"
...
The pupils that lost their focus gradually condensed, and everything in the sight blurred and turned into clearness.
He could not tell the difference between reality and dreams. But he knew that this was reality and he was back.
Wang Yao wanted to raise his arm, but his wrist was held back by the infusion needle.
He pulled off the infusion needle on his wrist sideways, and Wang Yao, who lost his balance, plopped to the ground. I don’t know if it was the hallucination or something, but in a trance, Wang Yao heard a chuckle.
I wanted to get up, but my bones seemed to be rusted, making an overwhelming creaking sound, and everything on my body was sour and numb. Even turning my head was extremely difficult.
Is it the side effect of 482? Or is it that I have been lying for too long. Wang Yao, whose face was pressed against the cold ground, muttered in his heart. Unlike his bad body, his consciousness was very clear and sober that he could no longer wake up. He knew that his sleeping time was definitely not a small amount. Then he rushed in and helped him up and told him the specific number.
Twenty-five days.
Wang Yao was shocked and struggled to stand up: "So I'm going to enter the movie today?!"
"There are 13 minutes left." He Ying glanced at the time. "It takes 5 or 6 minutes from here to get to the safe house. It's enough. Said on the other road." Then, without waiting for Wang Yao to react, he carried Wang Yao on his back.
Zhang Qing wanted to keep up, but was rejected by He Ying.
"You go to the fifth conference room to notify them. Then go to the office team to get the equipment and meet in the safe room."
Wang Yao's ears on He Ying's back stood up.
The fifth conference room?
"What is that fifth conference room...?"
"You have many questions." He Ying said impatiently, but she still explained to him: "The places where important meetings and discussions in District C7 are held. According to their importance, they are divided into one to five conference rooms. The levels are from high to low."
"So... are there anyone here called Lei Yizhou?"
"Deputy Team Leader of Disaster Handling Office."
Wang Yao, who felt that the matter was becoming more and more confusing, asked again whether there was any news about the explosion of the tanker truck recently. What made him feel a little relieved was that there was no relevant news.
482 based on what is the dream created? Lei Yizhou and the conference room are obviously real products, and I don’t know it, but they all appear in the dream...
In the aisle, the staff passing by came to pay tribute. A woman was carrying a man on her back, and it was so weird no matter how she looked. And that woman was also the deputy team leader of the external office.
"I'll do it myself..." Wang Yao, whose soreness subsided, and his body relaxed, jumped down. He staggered and stood firm. Although the touch was good, it was a bit awkward to lie on the woman's back.
Following He Ying with a staggering pace, Wang Yao thanked: "Thank you."
Wang Yao wanted to leave by himself, so He Ying naturally would not force him: "Don't be busy thanking me, I did this with a purpose."
"What purpose."
"Pull you into our external office." He Ying said, walking into a dead end without anyone. Wang Yao was stunned for a moment and followed.
"Remember the order." He Ying said to the end. The soft and boneless jade fingers tapped the metal walls a few times.
Surprisingly, the wall in front of me suddenly moved to one side, revealing an elevator.
When he entered the elevator, He Ying pressed the button No. 1, and the wall slowly closed. After a sense of weightlessness, the elevator began to move downward.
"The interests of the two departments. The Disaster Handling Office specializes in handling various special disasters and accidents. The departments with the highest mortality rate have casualties almost every operation. With your ability and strength, you will improve extremely quickly. After you enter 236, you may be able to survive with ease. The problem is that you may not be able to survive until the day you enter 236.
"The external office is the intelligence and investigation department of ofTum. Generally, it collects external intelligence and finds that individuals suspected ofTum go to investigate, set a hazard level and hand it over to the 03 committee member group to be dispatched to the hospital. It has certain dangers but is much smaller than the disaster handling office. Its strength is slower than the disaster handling office, but it is very stable."
“Do you have to choose now?”
"Of course not. If you die after you choose a department, it will be troublesome."
He Ying's words are very ugly, but this is the truth. The uncertainty factor is too great. Good luck may enter a zombie movie with very low risk or purely. With his T-virus infected body being immune to viruses, zombies are nothing more than idiots with more strength and no brains.
My luck was a little bad, so I threw it directly into movies like the Star River Team's alien Transformers Sadako. Even if Spider-Man comes, I can't hold on.
bite--
The elevator stopped, there was a corridor in front, and there was another dead end at the end.
"This is a special safe house. The safest place in Area C7, no one." He Ying walked in front, grabbed Wang Yao's hand and pressed the end wall for a few seconds, and the thick metal wall opened to one side.
"Each base is equipped with five special safe houses. Compared with ordinary safe houses, it is specially prepared for those with abilities like you."
"It is located 280 meters deep underground, with a 1-meter-thick concrete cement and 100mm steel-bonded carbide on the outside. It can withstand a nuclear bomb attack of 2,000 tons of ** equivalent on the ground. The safe house is built on a non-seismic belt, but even geological changes such as earthquakes are difficult to cause damage. Some daily supplies are stored here for daily supplies when the connection is interrupted with the outside world. It has its own circulation system, which is enough for one person to last for two months."
"Safe houses are equipped with positioning devices, and searching for lost safe houses is the top priority of each base. If one day, there will be no rescue in the safe house for several months."
"Then it must be the end of the world."
"This is your exclusive safe house. As long as you are still alive, this place will always belong to you."
This is a room of more than ten square meters. There is a single bed in the corner, and on the other side are piled up supplies. There are cameras in the corner. There is no entertainment facility in the room, and the color is pure white. It looks very monotonous and boring. For people with phobia, this place is undoubtedly hell.
"It's 17 o'clock now, and there are still five minutes left. There are five other oftum236 individuals entering the diameter of your entry time. That is to say, you will meet some of them, or all of them in this world."
"They are all ordinary people. The specific information is a personal privacy issue and we do not have the right to view it."
Zhang Qing rushed over, handed a backpack to Wang Yao, and transferred another copy of data to Wang Yao's watch.
Behind the forced mentality is the tired look. He Ying said for Zhang Qing: "There are 10,000 US dollars and a pound of gold in the backpack. The small invasion terminal can be used in any time after 1926. As for the purpose of gold, you understand it if you don't explain it. The invasion terminal records the historical loopholes of each bank, and you can use it to obtain a lot of money."
"In addition, there is another point. The invading terminal will send a string of code to the intelligence agencies of each country to find out whether there will be a "non-one-time world" and you will know at that time.
"When you enter 236, you must first determine which movie you are in. The watch stores all the movies that humans have released since 1930. Even if you don't know what movie world is here, you can find it by entering some keywords."
"In addition, when you use a watch to determine where you are, it will prompt you some technological information in the current world. These technological information will more or less bring new developments to human civilization. For example, various technologies in the future world. But because all items cannot bring out this feature, all you can use is your own memory."
"After these memories are brought back, there will be an expert team to determine the value of technology and allocate it to you for contribution points."
"However, these technology-related data are difficult to obtain, so you have to do what you can. You are a carrier of T virus, and even if you don't do anything, you will have a steady stream of contribution points to account. You are a treasure house for the scientists in the laboratory."
"The most important thing is to beware of everyone, including companions. Because our intervention reduces the fight between individuals. But when faced with huge benefits, it is useless. Just like the serum in Resident Evil, Spider-Man bites Parker's spider. No one can resist this superpower."
"Also, after day and night research by those in the laboratory, your genes have been deciphered, and the relevant transformation plan will be launched this time. In addition to the training between life and death that will improve your strength, the characteristics of the licker will also produce evolutionary effects when you take in the DNA of other organisms. The evolutionary genes and unknown genes that have been sorted out have been recorded in your watch."
"You have to strictly follow the watch, because once you take up unknown genes, it will lead to terrible consequences that no one knows. Maybe it evolves into a non-human organism, or simply the mitochondrial genes in the cell are unable to bear the evolution and collapse."
"I have a problem." Looking at the countdown of losing minutes, Wang Yao said anxiously: "Take Resident Evil 1 as an example. If I choose not to enter the hive at the beginning, or stop Alice and the others from going down, will I be judged as passing the stage if I leave the plot?"
"Of course." He Ying gave an unexpected answer. "But you have to know what the butterfly effect is. Your appearance has changed the original plot of the world. Even if you do nothing, if you have extra you, you will definitely cause unpredictable changes. So in this way, following the plot is the safest path. Because as an outsider, you can constantly revise the plot to prevent it from going astray."
"You are walking on the street, and someone is curious and almost tripped. A person who is calling sees the man almost tripped and chuckled. Someone sees the man almost tripped and stops subconsciously. The person who is calling is heard from the opposite side of the phone and asks him why he is laughing. The person who is almost tripped may quarrel in anger when he hears someone chuckling, and may leave quickly. The person who stops suddenly stopped, and the person behind him can't help but bypass him, but accidentally bumps into the oncoming passerby."
"Small changes can drive long-term and huge reactions to the entire system. This is the butterfly effect."
Time is getting more and more urgent. When He Ying finished explaining these things, she blinked and said something else, Wang Yao had disappeared from her.
Quiet lasting for several seconds.
"Deputy Team Leader, do you think he can come back?"
"Who knows again?" He Ying pushed his glasses, called out a virtual projection, and reported the results to Lin Zhan.
"I will notify the medical team to be on standby. You and Zhang Qing will withdraw first. Thank you for your hard work."
The slowly closed security door blocked the two of them leaving, and the room returned to the silence and desolation as before.
Chapter completed!
