"The combat team ready to carry out the cleanup mission has been assembled."
When Lu Xin and his team passed through the blockade, a circle of people were already sitting in the tents in the camp east of Buffalo.
Unlike the soldiers outside who were wearing uniform military uniforms, the people in this tent did not wear uniforms, and each person's dress was unique and even varied. Some wore military uniforms that were convenient for exercise, some wore brand new suits, some wore short skirts and heavy military boots, and some wore colorful clothes with powder on their faces, like clowns in a circus.
Even among them, some wore doctors' white coats and hospital gowns.
…
"Now, let me share the latest intelligence with you and formulate the final action plan."
The man sitting at the top, wearing a black armed suit, picked up the file and spoke coldly:
"After determining the target last night, seven lurkers entered Buffalo City and tried to find the specific location of the laboratory."
After that, he glanced at the people in the operations room: "But until now, no one has sent back any news, and no one has come out. The computer monitoring found that they still have vital signs, but they have completely lost contact."
"That is to say, we can't get information support from the lurkers now, and we have to help them rescue people."
"The mission will be carried out in the form of a team, and each group will enter Buffalo City from a different location."
"The primary goal is to find the specific location of the laboratory and report it back as soon as possible."
"The second goal is to rescue the kidnapped Dr. Zhao Shiming."
"The third goal is to prevent the success of the black table experiment."
"The fourth goal is to clean up all visible pollution."
"..."
"What? Enter in small groups?"
As soon as the man's voice fell, the Central City ability users who seemed very serious just now suddenly started to stir. A man with colorful hair raised his hand seriously and reported: "Captain Li, don't you watch old movies?"
He said seriously: "All those who acted separately in horror movies died miserably..."
"Right, right..."
Many people nodded in agreement: "When encountering ghosts, it is best not to act separately, as it is easy to be defeated one by one."
"Captain, if you enter a horror movie, you can only live for two minutes at most..."
"..."
"Respect!"
The man in black armed uniform raised his voice a little, and then patiently explained: "We are not making a horror movie."
"We are not going to catch ghosts."
He explained very seriously: "In the face of special pollution incidents, the strength of strength can no longer be determined by the number of people. If we act collectively, we are very likely to be trapped or wiped out by an unsolvable ability of the other party, and the mission will fail. Therefore, in order to increase the possibility of completing the mission, we can only enter Buffalo in small groups and search the laboratory in a point-to-surface manner."
"In this way, even if a few teams fail, it will only kill a few people..."
"Scientifically speaking, people die every minute and every second in the world, so what's so scary about a few deaths?"
"Right?"
"Finally, please rest assured that this mission is an S-level mission. There are rewards for completing the mission, and there are also generous pensions for death!"
"..."
"Oh oh..."
After hearing this, everyone was relieved: "There is a pension, then we are relieved."
"Just punch in?"
"..."
"Okay, don't just consider the pension issue, the mission also needs to be taken seriously! "
Captain Li in black military uniform ignored the noise of his colleagues and calmly made his final speech: "Please note that this time we are facing the most crazy and unscrupulous mysterious organization. They not only mastered one of the most powerful spiritual powers, but also robbed many parasitic items with serial numbers in the top 100, and cultivated many strange creatures..."
"Everyone must go all out!"
"..."
After speaking, he stood up directly, took a loud speaker, and began to assign tasks to the team members in the tent: "We have a total of 21 people, organized into seven teams. I am the captain and responsible for the command of the entire cleanup task."
"Team No. 1, stay at the outpost, protect the information analysts, and coordinate in the middle."
"Team No. 2 guerrilla mode, ready to support at any time."
"The other four teams will enter Buffalo from the four directions of southeast, northwest, and immediately notify other groups when they find the experimental base. "
"Remember, first, during the mission, do not call for support or fall collectively until the last moment and before you are sure that you have not been used as bait by the opponent. Second, each team should report the target immediately after discovering it, and do not be a hero. Third, even if you receive a signal for help or a mission signal, you must confirm it carefully. After entering the city, nothing can be trusted. "
"When we enter the city, the armed personnel will set up a fire blockade around the entire Buffalo City to prevent the spread of contamination. "
"The overall combat time is ten hours. "
"Within ten hours, if none of us finds the experimental base or sends out information. "
"Then, the headquarters will consider escalating the threat level of this incident and activate the final emergency response plan! "
"Please rest assured..."
"Even if I can't find your bones, I will always remember you. "
"Now, each team will test the equipment and weapons for the last time! "
"Get ready to go!"
"..."
"..."
"The conditions are a bit difficult, Dr. Zhao, don't mind. "
Buffalo three hours ago.
Chen Xun, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a slim suit, walked into a spacious laboratory with Dr. Zhao Shiming.
There were strange containers and various instruments everywhere.
On the computer screen, some records of vital signs kept popping up, and the staff nervously tapped the keyboard.
Glass jars of various sizes were arranged around like decorations.
Some of these glass jars contained huge eyeballs, some contained flesh and blood with a mouth, and some contained colorful little fish. When you look closely, you will find that the bodies of these little fish are actually fingers.
The whole laboratory was very busy, and everyone was busy. When they saw Chen Xun and Dr. Zhao Shiming coming in, no one in the laboratory looked up, let alone came forward to say hello. Only a fat woman with a sallow face was dawdling, carrying two cups that looked like they had not been washed, and brought them to Chen Xun and Zhao Shiming.
There is coffee in the cup.
Judging from the color and smell, it is not a good thing.
Chen Xun took a cup himself, took a big sip, and said with a smile: "There is no expensive coffee or tea, only this cheap instant coffee, and there is not much left. Only when someone like Dr. Zhao comes, I will generously treat you to a cup..."
Zhao Shiming glanced at the coffee cup, frowned, and said: "No need."
"It looks a little dirty."
Chen Xun smiled and said: "But I have the best antidote, so Dr. Zhao doesn't have to worry about food poisoning."
"Even if you have an antidote, it will affect my condition."
Zhao Shiming said: "Coffee is used to refresh. I don't mind whether your coffee is good or not, or whether the cup is clean or not, but if you risk affecting your health just to enjoy coffee, then it is a problem of work attitude."
Chen Xun suddenly realized, put down the coffee cup, and said with respect: "Dr. Zhao is right. "
After that, he took Zhao Shiming forward and came to a reinforced glass pool with a diameter of about three meters.
The pool looked very high. Looking down from the second floor where they were, they could see that the pool was terribly deep. It was full of a sticky and pungent green liquid, with scarlet flesh and blood, as if it had its own life consciousness, rolling in the liquid. Occasionally, snake-like tentacles would poke out of the water and slowly retract, splashing a thin layer of water and bubbles.
There were thick pipes extending from various places and connected to the pool, which was complicated and weird.
Zhao Shiming took a deep look, his face slightly tense, and suddenly asked: "What percentage?"
"92%!"
Chen Xun smiled and said: "I have already told you about the last problem, which is exactly the direction you specialize in. If you can overcome it, you and I should be the first people in the world to complete this experiment. I don't need to say more about the rest, right? "
Zhao Shiming looked at the pool and was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he said, "I didn't expect that you would go further than me..."
"Because you still belong to the institute after all."
Chen Xun smiled and said, "You are somewhat constrained in doing things, so naturally you are not as fast as us."
Zhao Shiming took a deep breath, suddenly turned around, and looked at Chen Xun seriously: "You took such a big risk to find me, because I am one of the few researchers working outside the main city of the institute, or because you have indeed calculated that the project I am studying can really help you overcome this last problem? Is there anyone else who is a better choice for you?"
"..."
"The two main cities of the central city are indeed one of the most difficult cities for people with abilities to enter..."
"Basically, it can be said to be absolutely safe."
Chen Xun answered slowly, and then a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "But it doesn't mean that no one can really get in. The main problem is that with Dr. Zhao's knowledge and status, he could have stayed in the main city safely, enjoying the best treatment and security in the world, and focusing on his own research, but you took the initiative to come to the satellite city..."
"Can this be understood as you are also waiting for an opportunity?"
He looked into Zhao Shiming's eyes, smiled, and said: "Dr. Zhao's knowledge is one aspect, but his attitude is another aspect. I may have many choices, but the only person who can guarantee to help me complete the project is you, Dr. Zhao. "
"..."
Their eyes met in the air, and each of them could see the calmness and confidence on the other's face.
After a long while, Zhao Shiming sneered and said, "I must remind you of one thing. According to my understanding of the Central City, they must have taken action now. Although I am sure that there may be many people in the Central City Administrative Office who support you, they cannot stop the Central City's actions on this issue. Perhaps the special operations team has already arrived outside the city..."
"Are you sure that we can complete this project before they attack?"
"..."
"I know they are here, and now they have set up an outpost ten miles east of the city."
Chen Xun smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter. There are too many people in the Central City, and gradually there is a bureaucratic atmosphere, and they like to rely on numbers to do things. It's a pity that the current war is no longer controlled by numbers. If Dr. Zhao still has concerns in his heart, then I can ask Dr. Zhao to see what happens when they come in, and then decide whether to help me. "
As he spoke, he pulled open a white curtain. On the table behind him, there were several delicate objects. The one on the left was a thick videotape that had been eliminated even in the civilized era, and the label on it was blurred.
The one in the middle was a fine twelve-order Rubik's Cube.
The one on the right was a stopwatch that looked a little damaged and old.
...
Zhao Shiming took a look at these things and frowned slightly.
Chen Xun smiled, walked forward a few steps, came to an operating table, put his fingers down, and tapped a few buttons.
On the screen, different pictures suddenly appeared, which seemed to be aimed at the city.
Some were a little girl in a white dress, standing quietly on a roof.
Some were a man in a suit with only one eye on his face, walking slowly on a street.
Some staff members in protective clothing were moving large boxes one by one.
...
Zhao Shiming's eyes swept across the screen one by one, and his face changed from indifference to a little strange. At the end, his face turned a little livid. Although he concealed his panic well, there was still a fear in his eyes.
His voice was slightly hoarse: "How many monsters have you hidden in this city?"
Chen Xun smiled very kindly and said: "In fact, there is only one."
"Huh?"
Zhao Shiming raised his eyebrows suddenly, as if he understood something, and the fear on his face spread.
He took two deep breaths to keep himself calm, looked up at Chen Xun, and said: "I can help you."
After a pause, he gritted his teeth and looked directly into Chen Xun's eyes and said: "But I need you to promise that if your plan succeeds, then the host of this experiment must have my name. If your plan fails, then I will be..."
He said slowly: "I was forced. "
Chen Xun also smiled: "That's right, this is the courtesy that the black table should have."
Zhao Shiming nodded and stretched out his hand to him.
The two shook hands vigorously, looked at each other, and showed a sincere smile.
"Happy cooperation!"
Then they separated and strode to different positions.
