The crisis is already imminent, but now Guan Dehou still has to think of ways to get help from others.
After listening to Guan Dehou's words, the expressions of the people in front of him clearly expressed doubts.
Vognev asked: "If the enemy comes in, we will fight back. Why must we share technology?"
Seim also said: "Friend, it's not that we don't want to cooperate, but the request you made is beyond the scope of our rights. We are not representing an ordinary team, but the national interests behind us, so..."
Guan Dehou looked at the group of people in front of him, yes.
national interest...
Scope of rights…
Even when death is imminent, we will continue to emphasize these hypocritical things.
But Guan Dehou was unable to change. He could only say: "Let's put it this way, the soldiers came to cover up the water and the soil. When the enemy came down, we fought back. This is correct, but it cannot solve the fundamental problem."
"Then what is the fundamental problem you are talking about?" The question was asked by Ashina Kazunun, the person in charge of the Japan Division.
"The fundamental problem lies with the 'Forerunners'. I think you should know better than me. The danger of these things cannot be described by simple casualty numbers. Instead, it may concern our entire human society. If we cannot fundamentally solve it,
These hidden dangers make us complete sinners."
Ashina Yiyun nodded silently after hearing this. He looked at the people around him and said: "This is indeed a fundamental problem... Our scientists were the first to discover that the Forerunners were unstable, but this instability
The activation conditions for the state are very harsh...but now I feel...this harshness may not be a big problem for our enemies..."
Vognev was still a little hesitant, he said: "Then... let's just take a step back and choose a relatively compromise method just like Captain Guan said just now."
"What can we do?" several people asked.
"There is no doubt about cooperation against foreign invasion, but technology sharing is still open to question... Therefore, my personal suggestion is to gather our guards together first, and then establish several lines of defense to try to buy time and at the same time let our
Scientific researchers are on standby at the Forerunner. If the enemy is too strong and the defense line is quickly lost, our researchers will share the core research results to find answers as soon as possible and formulate countermeasures. How about this?" Fogg said.
Nev said and looked at everyone.
Guan Dehou frowned. This approach was indeed a compromise, but it was too optimistic.
Not to mention how long they can resist, even if they can delay it for a day, if those scientists don't make full use of their time, can they really find the answer?
But now there is only one way to get these people to compromise.
"Okay, I agree." Guan Dehou raised his hand first.
Then several people raised their hands to express their agreement.
The overall plan has finally set its direction.
Guard personnel from each division quickly assembled and established three lines of defense based on the structure of the underground base and the area where the division was located.
The first line of defense was mainly composed of Russian guards. Zhang Fengyu led a team of fifteen people to provide flank support and was always ready to assist them in retreating after the first line of defense fell.
The second line of defense consists of guards from the Japanese and German divisions. They blocked all seven entrances to the experimental area on the left side of the underground base, and placed special explosives in five of the passages, ready to cut off access at any time.
Roads in the experimental area.
The right side is in charge of the American division. They also followed Guan Dehou's example and established a defensive line, but there are only two, and most of the combat power is concentrated in the "Forerunner" residential isolation area behind the experimental area.
The third line of defense is in charge of the guards from the Chinese and South African divisions. They established the last line of defense at the end exits of the remaining two passages without special explosives. Not far behind them is the experimental area where scientific researchers from several major divisions are concentrated.
After all combatants were in place, non-combatants were also divided into three categories: ammunition supply, medical rescue and evacuation assistance. They were mainly concentrated in the passage area between the first and second lines of defense.
When the time came to 7:31 am on the 9th.
The outpost issued an early warning, and the vertical elevator in the central area has been opened.
Vognev, the commander of the first line of defense, picked up his weapon after receiving the message and said: "Comrades, hold your position and don't give in an inch!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
The safety lock was opened, and the gun was pointed at the open area with no cover at the entrance of the vertical elevator.
Zhang Fengyu on the flank also said in a deep voice: "Get ready."
Using the cracks in the damaged passage as a bunker to support the Chinese area's special agents, they immediately set up their weapons, held their breath, and prepared for the fierce battle that followed.
…
Guan Dehou was sitting at the last line of defense, but at this time he was not with the guards. Instead, he accompanied Zeng Yijie to the "Forerunner" activity area, where he met the main research target in China, "Forerunner 3"
.
As the first "Forerunner" to be "resurrected" with the help of Chinese donors, "Forerunner 3" gave Guan Dehou an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
In contrast, the other two "pioneers" are much more disturbing.
Especially "Forerunner 2", the smallest Forerunner, when Guan Dehou saw it for the first time, he felt that it was full of danger.
…
"Yougege has been with it for the longest time. I think if we want to gain something... it should be the best choice." Zeng Yijie walked up to Forerunner 3 and stretched out his hand.
"Forerunner 3" saw this and reached out a friendly hand to contact him. The scene looked very harmonious.
Guan Dehou nodded: "I'm not good at research, just have confidence."
Zeng Yijie felt ashamed and said, "I'll try my best."
Guan Dehou looked at "Forerunner 3" again, and then said: "There is already a fight in front, you must pay attention to your own safety."
As he said this, Guan Dehou was about to leave, but as soon as he turned around, he was pressed on his shoulder by a big hand.
Guan Dehou was stunned. He did not expect that "Forerunner 3" would contact him.
This big guy looks very "kind", but in fact not everyone can get close to him... Someone had thought about forcibly contacting him before, but was isolated by "Forerunner 3" using something similar to telepathy.
This is also the first time that humans have recognized a real "force field" effect.
Zeng Yijie was also surprised. He looked at Guan Dehou, and then asked "Forerunner 3": "Is there anything you hope to tell us?"
"Forerunner 3" has no facial features, but Guan Dehou can clearly feel that it is looking at him.
After turning around and facing "Forerunner 3", "Forerunner 3" withdrew its hand, and then a scarlet mark appeared on its forehead.
This has never happened before.
Zeng Yijie looked at this incredible scene and then saw "Go first"
"Zhe No. 3" stood up from his knees, the scarlet mark between his eyebrows flashed, and then he heard Guan Dehou suddenly let out a scream.
When Zeng Yijie looked over, he found that there was also a scarlet mark between Guan Dehou's eyebrows.
It felt like a bloody gash had opened in Guan Dehou's brain.
"What!? Are you okay?" Zeng Yijie hurriedly stepped forward to help Guan Dehou up.
But Guan Dehou pushed him away with astonishing strength.
Zeng Yijie felt a tightness in his heart and flew out.
When he landed, Zeng Yijie almost fainted. Fortunately, there were lawns nearby, but what on earth was going on?
Could it be said that "Forerunner 3" is transforming Guan Dehou?
The whole process took place under the watchful eyes of researchers. Everyone had different expressions and talked a lot. It was obvious that no one could understand what was going on.
While everyone was confused, the guards near the quarantine area also screamed.
Their situation is very similar to Guan Dehou.
But the situation of alienation is even more exaggerated.
Their facial features gradually disappeared and their bodies became white. It felt as if there were many more "forerunners" suddenly appearing.
When the researchers in the laboratory discovered this, they all retreated towards the connecting channel in horror.
The guards on the third line of defense also rushed into the laboratory and aimed their guns at the "transformed" guards.
The entire transformation process lasted about ten minutes.
Ten minutes later, when the scarlet between Forerunner 3's eyebrows disappeared, the scarlet between Guan Dehou's eyebrows also disappeared, but his body and appearance did not change.
But when the scarlet color between Forerunner 3's eyebrows disappeared, the detection instrument suddenly issued a warning.
Zeng Yijie hurriedly took out the crystal plate and was stunned.
"Forerunner 3"...
died?!
Yes……
Judging from the data display and the reality of "Forerunner 3" whose body is gradually turning gray in front of him... "Forerunner 3" may really be dead.
It left something behind before it died.
It took a long time for Guan Dehou, who had difficulty breathing, to come back to his senses. He looked around blankly, and then said: "I know...it told me everything...it won't...it's impossible...we didn't plan to do this."
Do it! No... no... I'm going to stop this!"
Guan Dehou walked towards the isolation area while talking to himself.
Zeng Yijie hurriedly followed and asked: "Are you okay? What did you read? What did it tell you?"
Guan Dehou seemed to have heard it, but also seemed not to have heard it.
He continued to talk to himself: "Time is the only measuring stick... We... We... We... I'm sorry... This is not everything... Don't be like this... Don't be like this... We still have hope! No...
…No! Impossible!!!!”
Guan Dehou's pace became faster and faster, until Zeng Yijie couldn't catch up at all.
Guan Dehou, whose thoughts were confused and completely out of control, broke through the high wall of the quarantine area like an angry beast.
A group of "pioneers" who were getting up outside the wall immediately gathered over after discovering Guan Dehou.
When Guan Dehou saw these things, he was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly tore off his shirt, his body doubled in size, and he let out a terrifying roar. His eyebrows flashed scarlet, and his body gradually turned white.
