Chapter 212: The long-lost plague doctor and whether he has a soul
Rockford Island.
In the special unit on the sixth underground floor of the Abnormal Phenomena Detention Center.
"Huh~huh~"
Following the cheerful and rhythmic humming, the plague doctor, always dressed in a hooded black robe and a bird's beak mask, was holding his small black bag in his left hand, and with his right hand he grabbed things he found useful and put them into the bag.
Such as sealed tubes containing unknown green or red liquids, or various types of bone saws and scalpels, no matter how big they are, the black bag is "all-in" and accommodates them all.
Soon, the plague doctor swept away almost everything on the table and hanging on the wall.
"Um…"
At this time, he was staring at the multifunctional operating table located in the center of the unit. He walked closer, squatted half-crouched, and stretched out his right hand, hoping to take away this large operating table.
However, when he easily lifted the operating table and saw the various lines connected below, he had to give up the idea of taking the operating table away with him.
"Hey." He sighed and said to himself: "Forget it, I won't need you there, so I won't take you with me."
After finishing packing, the plague doctor put his small black bag on his back, looked up at the monitor in the corner of the room, and shook his left hand.
It didn't take long.
The metal gate of the special unit slowly opened, and several elite security guards wearing individual equipment with better defensive and airtight properties and holding Carter-type laser rifles quickly poured into the unit.
One of the leaders said to the plague doctor in a deep voice: "Doctor, please come with us."
"Lead the way."
The plague doctor followed the security guards out of the unit where he lived and worked. Before leaving the unit, he took off his white coat from the hanger next to the gate and put it on.
Leave the unit, go through several security doors, gates and obliteration corridors, take the elevator to the underground level, and finally the security guards lead the plague doctors to the surface airport.
"Ah~ the fresh air that I haven't seen in a long time!"
As soon as I walked out of the facility, I looked up at the clear blue sky and the dazzling sunshine.
Although the plague doctor did not need to breathe, in order to show that he was in a comfortable mood at the moment, he still took a deep breath and sighed.
Also coming to the surface with him were a group of D-class personnel wearing the iconic orange prison uniforms with numbers starting with D printed on the back.
After finishing his emotional movements, the plague doctor put his hands behind his back and continued forward with the security guards responsible for escorting him, but his eyes were fixed on the hundreds of D-class personnel not far away.
Even if they can't see their expressions, the security guards who have dealt with Doctor Plague for a long time know that Doctor Plague can't help but want to "experiment" on these scum.
Fortunately, the Plague Doctor only stared at it for a few seconds before looking away, and he and the security guards came to an apron where the Yugull was parked.
At this time, Jack Krauser, who was already a major in a black beret and military uniform, stepped forward and said to the plague doctor:
"Doctor, the company's ship is about to arrive and will take you to Deimos later."
Krauser, who was once the security director of the sixth floor, is now the security and defense director responsible for the entire Rockford Island.
"What about that group?" The plague doctor turned his head and glanced at the D-class personnel behind him.
"They." Krauser glanced at the people over there and explained, "They will serve as experimental materials for you, the doctor, to assist the company in investigating this incident."
"Ah! That's what I like. My vaccine has made good progress recently, and I just want to test it on these terminally ill patients." The plague doctor's mood was high again.
"Then I will wait for the doctor's good news. Please board the plane and wait."
"No problem!" The plague doctor who finished the conversation with Krauser walked towards the cabin of the Yugull, and at the same time, the security guards who also walked into the cabin with him said:
"To be honest, this is my first time leaving the earth. I don't know what Mars is like. By the way, Jamie, have you ever been to the earth? How does it feel?"
On the other hand, the D-class personnel who boarded the large transport boat one after another were completely silent.
Because the elite security guarding them would not be as patient with the Plague Doctors, not to mention that among the "members" guarding them, there were six T-106 Tyrants that were slightly shorter than adult Astartes, and...
"Roar..." and the T-02 tracker who always likes to make complaining roars and once tore a giant centipede with his hands.
The pursuer still wears a restraint that looks like a black windbreaker, and carries a huge silver bullet box on its back. The slender bullet chain protruding from the bottom of the box is connected to the rotating pulse machine gun hanging on its right hand.
The overall feeling is not much different from the original, but the tubular tissue exposed to the skin has been significantly reduced, and now it can perform more complex tasks.
Even the six T-106 Tyrants that boarded the transport boat with the D-class personnel knew how to operate complex weapons and could perfectly cooperate with our own soldiers to perform a variety of tasks.
Even if the T-106's body is severely damaged and forced to enter a violent "release" state, it still has the ability to identify friend and foe and will not threaten our own soldiers.
Unfortunately, Tyrants, including Trackers, are already mature products with no R&D potential for Umbrella.
In other words, the company will no longer invest any resources in the Tyrant project.
Currently, various types of Tyrants are used to serve the company, and are deployed in company facilities on Earth and in various colonies to assist local armed security, or they are deployed at Luna Base to become a training project for prospective Astartes.
Externally, the Tyrant model is one of Umbrella's best-selling products, with the UNSC Special Operations Department being the major orderer.
Of course, in addition to the above uses, the company also found that Tyrant was very suitable as a "prison guard".
Hearing the roar from the tracker, many D-class personnel present could not control their bodies trembling and trembling.
After all, the tracker used his tentacles to "suck" a guy who wanted to cause trouble to death in public during a D-class personnel's private activity. Since then, no one who dared to cause trouble has appeared.
In addition to deterring D-class personnel, they are also the backbone of preventing control failures.
With them and security present, all the D-class personnel cooperated very well to board the transport ship, and were forced to stay in the cabin in a confined space without breathing.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Outside the cabin, an engineering ship with its optical camouflage removed appeared over the airport.
Immediately afterwards, the Yugull carrying the plague doctor and elite security personnel, as well as the large transport boat, quickly took off and entered the hangar of the engineering ship.
Then the engineering ship turned on its optical camouflage again, moved away from Rockford Island, and arrived in low-Earth orbit to start its jump voyage.
The D-class personnel who had been in the cabin only knew that the transport boat carrying them was flying off the ground, and they felt a strange "pushing back" and "frustration" feeling. They had no idea that they had completed the jump navigation and reached the distance.
The orbit of Mars 200 million kilometers away from the Earth.
The engineering ship then conducted a routine voyage, gradually approaching the Deimos blockaded by the Destroyer, and finally parked not far from the Destroyer, allowing the Fishing Gull and the transport boat to leave the hangar and enter the Deimos dock.
There are now more than 10,000 survivors gathered at the dock.
The interior of Deimos had long been cleared by Thutmose's Astartes, and the lieutenant colonel also dispatched the remaining UNSC to bring all surviving personnel to the dock.
Leon, Shirley and those UNSC elites were also among them.
The technicians from the Destroyer are "disinfecting" all personnel according to procedures on how to deal with alien spaces and demons.
In fact, before the technicians arrived, Magnus had already released psychic powers to dispel the potential effects of demons and hell on the survivors.
But in the end, except for Umbrella personnel, the survivors will have their memories modified and only "remember" that they encountered some kind of accident on Deimos.
As for fabricating accidents that are acceptable to the public and reasonable, and contacting the victims' families, the company's intelligence and aftermath departments are responsible for it, while technicians are only responsible for erasing and modifying memories.
The UNSC that took over the full responsibility of the lieutenant colonel was the Hammerfell Task Force stationed on the Destroyer.
As a member of Umbrella's regiment-level unit, Hammerfell naturally enjoys higher standards of treatment.
In an ordinary ten-man team, eight are "light personnel" equipped with TPS power armor and Cattrell-type laser rifles.
The two people wearing CMC power armor, holding Gauss rifles that can fire sonic spike bombs, and small missile launchers hanging on the mechanical arms are "heavy personnel".
The teams currently affiliated with Hammerfell are distributed throughout the docks to maintain order, and many teams are patrolling the interior of Deimos.
Krieg had also arrived on Deimos long ago, but they concentrated near the secondary port to assist the two Primarchs and the Astartes in defending the Gates of Hell.
At this time, the Yuguo and the transport boat entered the dock and landed in an area away from the crowd.
The cabin door opened, allowing the Plague Doctor and accompanying security personnel, as well as D-class personnel and Tyrant to exit the cabin.
The Plague Doctors and the others who came outside the cabin looked around the dock, and the thing that caught their attention the most was the giant air valve with a luminous film-like shape.
The current angle of the air valve is just right for them at the dock to see the southern hemisphere of Mars on the sunny side, as well as the dark universe due to the direct sunlight.
"Oh? Is that Mars?" The plague doctor, who saw the true appearance of Mars with his own eyes, satisfied his curiosity and commented: "Well... it's much more desolate than I thought."
The D-class personnel who also witnessed Mars and the universe were not as interested as the Plague Doctor.
After looking directly at the giant Mars and the dark, empty and unknown universe, many D-class personnel were stunned, and some were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground.
Some even let their fingers cling to the gaps in the metal floor for fear that they would be "sucked" into space.
After all, the vast majority of them were concentrated between 2003 and 2004. They were arrested and imprisoned for human trafficking, intentional murder and many other scum crimes. After a few years, they were transferred from the prison to Umbrella.
Classified as D-class personnel.
This means that their understanding of the outside world is still stuck in 2003 and 2004.
In addition, after discovering that they suddenly left the familiar earth environment, emotions of panic and confusion quickly emerged, and phobias about "giant objects" and "cosmos" also spread among D-class personnel.
"Get up." An elite security guard said in a deep voice: "Keep moving forward."
"Go... roar..." The pursuer also roared in cooperation.
Hearing the tracker's voice, the D-class personnel had no choice but to force themselves to continue moving forward, leading to the next unknown area.
Compared with the fear of Mars and the universe, the fear of trackers is more engraved in their bones, and trackers can cause substantial harm to them.
Next.
The plague doctor and others came to the platform next to the pier, took the train that was running again, and quickly rushed to the secondary port.
In just a few minutes, the train transported everyone to the platform closest to the secondary port. Here, the D-class personnel saw Krieg, who made their hair stand on end.
Because Krieger's TPS or CMC power armor helmet looks like an old-fashioned gas mask from World War I or World War II, and some even have a straight-handled "chain saw" hanging on the waist armor.
They are both regiment-level units, but Krieg's treatment is significantly higher than that of Hammerfell.
Not only is it equipped with a small chainsword, but the company commander's gun is also a "mortal" version of a small-caliber bolter.
You must know that the difference between Krieg and the living dead is that Krieg adds members through biological embryonic technology, rather than "copy and paste", and there is no clone of any soul.
The moment his brain was formed, Krieger was instilled with the thoughts and ideas of being loyal to Sui Bian, loyal to the company and humanity, and to destroy the enemy at all costs.
Krieg, who matures in just sixteen months, has received various physical enhancements, and has undergone pain masking and other surgeries, is indeed different from ordinary humans.
But every Krieg has "parents".
In the decades since Umbrella was founded, hospitals built in various places have been providing paid sperm and egg donation channels, and this did not stop even after Sui Bian came to power.
Therefore, each Krieg evolved into a human through an optimally matched fertilized egg, but Umbrella accelerated this process through biotechnology.
This is why the Kriegs that Shirley saw back then were both male and female, and they looked different.
Possessing a "soul" is the fundamental difference between Krieg and the living dead.
At this moment, the Kriegs guarding the platform stopped patrolling and stared at the D-class personnel in silence.
It wasn't until all D-class personnel left and entered the passage to the secondary port that the Kriegs looked away.
inside the channel.
The plague doctor walking in front of the team turned his head and glanced behind him, and said to himself thoughtfully: "Those special children have provided me with many new ideas, hmm..."
Thinking room.
"What is this...what is this!! Run! They want us to die! Run away!"
A D-class personnel screamed, interrupting the Plague Doctor's contemplation. It turned out that they had arrived at the secondary port.
The D-class personnel finally broke down emotionally after seeing everything on Deimos, especially the Hell Gate with its hellish scene, and yelled and broke away from the team to escape.
But before the trackers and other tyrants could take action...
Everyone only heard the heavy footsteps of "Boom, boom!", and then a primal wearing power armor appeared in front of the D-class personnel.
The original body very carefully stretched out his left hand, wrapped the head of the D-class personnel with his huge palm, so that he could no longer yell anything, and complained in a loud voice:
"What are you yelling about?"
Immediately afterwards, the original body held the one who was about to collapse, raised his head and shouted to all D-class personnel:
"Your mission is to help us investigate the situation in that desert! Don't be afraid! Don't worry, as long as you cooperate well, you can get rewards from the company!"
