Chapter 1016 Chain Reaction, a Little Shock!
"Who spread the news? Let me find him. I must skin him alive and hang him on the wall!"
The uncertain light flickered back and forth in the empty tactical hall.
Commander Edmund's face was gloomy, and his wolf-like eyes looked around at the dozen people standing below.
Surprisingly, among the dozen people, there was no psychiatrist who was watching over the people on the plane.
Obviously, Edmund's current pursuit was not really to find the person who spread the news.
Even this news
"Now it's good, the group of idiots hiding underground who dare not come out finally know the danger of the situation, and require us to find the radioactive beasts that stole the plane within three days and send them to the underground laboratory for slice research."
"Come on, tell me, who has the confidence to capture these two monsters in this foggy day?"
Edmund's big hands slapped on the leather seat, looking very irritable.
The people below wanted to speak, but seeing his appearance, they could only shrink their heads and pretend to be dead.
After a while, when Edmund was tired of scolding, someone "cowardly" poked his head out and said:
"Commander, since the underground wants the radioactive beast so much, why don't they go out and find it themselves?"
"Well said, you said it very well."
Edmund sneered: "But you shouldn't ask me this question, you should grab the collars of the rats below and ask them what they are thinking."
"It's been almost three months, and they still refuse to open the underground passage to let us go down, nor are they willing to transport underground supplies to support us. Do we really have to wait until Lord Hades wakes up?"
"Lord Hades will definitely punish them."
"Yes, they are so... Doing so is equivalent to dividing our Qinggang shelter. "
"These are two radiation beasts that are more terrifying than the undead. Oh my God, if we don't find them and kill them in the bud as soon as possible, what if they attack with a group of radiation beasts that can use weapons? "
"It's only been a short time, and they have already learned to fly a plane. If we give them another few months, what advantage do we have!"
"They must open the underground passage. This is an indisputable fact, otherwise they will cause everyone to die with them!"
"Protest, we must protest!"
The sparse voices were only one or two at first, but as the slogans were shouted, everyone present looked solemn.
Including a few people who always kept silent in the past, they also rarely supported the opening of the underground passage.
In a sense, this has nothing to do with the power struggle between the ground and the underground.
The terrifying radiation creatures did bring a fear that made people tremble.
They can use weapons.
They can drive vehicles.
And they also have extremely powerful learning abilities.
And most importantly, they actually learned a "foreign language".
As one of the criteria for measuring the upper limit of biological civilization, the intelligence of these guys is no less than that of humans, and even better than that of ordinary humans.
After the excitement, the hall entered a brief silence.
Edmund pointed his finger on the leather chair, his face relaxed and he said slowly.
"Well said, it seems that you all realize the importance of this matter, but I hope you can all remember what you said now!"
"Two weeks later, I don't want to see anyone change their mind on the emergency awakening proposal."
"What, emergency awakening proposal?!"
"This is not appropriate, it's not time for Lord Hades to come forward yet"
In an instant, a senior non-commissioned officer of the neutral faction on the ground exclaimed.
Over the long years, although the research on technology by humans on Blue Star has gone a long way, it is on the road of artificial intelligence.
In terms of biotechnology, there has been progress, but it is not enough to extend human life indefinitely.
In addition, the outbreak of nuclear war destroyed basic science.
Those humans who are almost at the top don't want to die like this, so they took a crooked path.
Freezing.
They chose to prolong their lives in this high-risk way close to "death", hoping to restart biological science research when the war ends and society prospers again.
Under the special freezing method, human life span can be extended from the limit of 113 years to about 400 years.
Of course, this so-called extension is not unlimited.
Once in the frozen state, humans will enter a dormant mode similar to suspended animation, as if they are asleep.
To wake up, they need to use a special electric current stimulation to wake up.
As a technology that is not yet fully mature, each dormancy and awakening is not 100% safe.
Hades set a deadline for himself to wake up once every thirty years.
And now it is still eight years from the last time.
Waking him up in advance means that Hades will have to take the risk of dormancy again before his life ends.
No one dares to guarantee whether waking up the manager because of this little thing will make him angry.
"Child, it's time. Now it's the last time, the last time for all of us."
The sharp voice was like a sword out of its sheath.
Hearing Edmund repeating his words, the sergeant who had previously refuted him trembled slightly in his heart, and subconsciously lowered his voice and replied cautiously:
"But Su Xing's proposal requires the consent of the deputy managers below, which is impossible for them"
"So, we need to find a way to get them to agree, right?"
At some point, Edmund already had a silver-white pistol in his hand.
The sharp-eyed people saw it and immediately thought.
This thing is a weapon specially awarded by Lord Hades to young Edmund for his merits after he woke up last time.
The meaning of taking it out is self-evident.
"If they don't open the door, it's time to let these moles know"
"This Qinggang shelter is our ground and their underground, not just their underground!"
The border of Tianyuan territory.
Two months later, although the long wall is only two meters high, the distance has reached about three kilometers.
The entire side of Qinggang City close to it was blocked to ensure that no one or radioactive beast could rush into the rear territory without hindrance.
"Unbelievable"
"This is actually the territory built by us earthlings!"
After being checked by the armed guards, he was taken to the back of the wall and leaned against the rough concrete wall.
From the moment he entered, the expression of surprise and joy never disappeared from Qi Jie's face.
In fact, the news reported to the guards just now was a lie.
They had been staying far away from the high wall for more than thirty hours after stumbling all the way here.
During the day, when the guards patrolled, they hid quietly without leaving any traces.
At night, they would get a little closer to observe whether the humans on the wall were good or bad.
At first, when they saw the high wall, more than 90% of the people in the team thought that this was the territory of the indigenous people.
But as the number of observations increased, and even after eavesdropping on a conversation.
In the daytime, everyone finally couldn't help it!
"Who would have thought that no one would promote this strange territory on the world channel!"
A straight gravel road appeared at the end of the field of vision, leading from under the high wall to the bottomless depths of the thick fog.
It can be seen that this road has not been repaired for a long time, and not many marks have been left.
But the only obvious ones are not difficult to distinguish, and they are actually marks left by large vehicles!
And a human territory that can build walls, build gravel roads, and even have vehicles.
This is undoubtedly a very strong shock to the humans drifting over from overseas.
"Could it be that we humans on Earth have joined the gathering place of the indigenous people? This place looks too advanced."
"Impossible, the captain just said that the lord of the territory will come soon."
"Do you think the lord here will take us in? Will he ask us to hand over all the supplies?"
"As long as we can stay here, it doesn't seem difficult to accept handing over the supplies under the protection of these people."
Leaning against the wall, the pale-faced refugees whispered to each other, and they also had irrepressible curiosity.
When leaving the deep sea for the new world, they still regarded the supplies they had accumulated with great difficulty as treasures.
Many people also shouted the slogan: "Supplies are there, people are there."
It's a pity that the ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny.
Supplies that can be easily transported by ships at sea immediately face the problem of difficulty in transportation once they arrive in the new world.
Even if a wheelbarrow is prepared in advance, it will immediately become a nightmare when encountering a rugged road.
So, between the choice of "staying in place to establish a gathering place" and "going to a more distant human territory".
Everyone had to hide about one-third of the supplies in a hidden place with great pain, hoping to go back and dig in the future.
With the remaining food, they traveled all the way through mountains and rivers and finally came here.
"Cough cough"
The clear cough attracted the attention of all the refugees.
A large pot emitting a "stinky" smell was carried by four guards, and the captain of the guard Qi Qin who accepted everyone in came in front.
"Sir, this is"
As the leader of the refugees, Qi Jie stood up with a panic expression.
He instinctively felt that the other party had no ill intentions, but the pot was simply too smelly and had a strong bitter taste.
If you have to describe it, it is probably because Xie Te was boiled in it for a few days to have this smell.
"This is a medicinal soup for expelling dampness and strengthening the body. It can reduce the symptoms of your current infection and prevent it from getting worse."
"Want treatment"
"Forget it, you can't go to the village now. The infectious disease is too serious."
Qi Qin explained with a frown.
This group of people felt good about themselves, and they all tried to hold on and pretended that nothing had happened.
However, it was obvious that almost every refugee had large itchy, rotten red spots on their skin caused by the spread of moisture, as well as black and red holes that were almost rotten deep into the flesh and bones.
The holes were only bandaged with simple cloth, and as they moved, pieces of frightening dirty blood oozed out.
Moreover, many people were coughing, their faces were livid, and they were obviously infected with severe influenza.
"Speaking of infectious diseases," Qi Jie was shocked and explained quickly: "Sir, there were more than 600 people on the shore, and now there are only 227 people left. Many people were infected with the "Hell Flower" virus along the way. We tried to treat it with herbal medicine, and even tried it according to the treatment methods published on the world channel, but all failed."
"But don't worry, we are definitely not infected with the Hell Flower!"
No one would let a group of infected refugees enter the territory.
Qi Jie was slightly happy when he caught the key word "village" from Qi Qin's words, but his face still showed an inexplicable fear.
The "Hell Flower" virus is almost incurable at this stage.
If someone accidentally gets it, they can basically take care of the funeral.
Along the way, many people were infected.
At first, we discovered that the refugee team would stop and treat as many patients as possible.
But as time went by, as more and more people became infected, no suitable treatment was found.
Qi Jie could only announce a change in treatment methods.
A batch of supplies was left for the patient to struggle alone while the others continued on their way.
This choice seems cruel, but now the benefits are immediately reflected.
When facing this captain, as the leader of the refugee team, he no longer had to worry that the other party would kick everyone out because of the "Hell Flower" virus.
However, here's the surprise.
The guard captain raised his voice and continued.
"I know that the Hell Flower Virus is nothing new. You can still tell whether you are infected or not. What's more, we are just afraid that you will bring strange infectious diseases to the village and infect healthy people."
"If someone is really infected, we have already found a suitable treatment, so there is no need to worry."
As soon as the words fell, the refugee group began to commotion uncontrollably.
Surprise immediately appeared in the eyes of more than a dozen seriously infected people, like a person walking many people in the desert seeing an oasis.
Although this tone sounded a bit "arrogant", it gave everyone present great confidence.
Including Qi Jie listening to the news, making Xingcai send his troops to the rescue?
"Sir, can hell flowers be cured in our territory?"
"certainly."
Qi Qin nodded without any doubt: "As early as half a month ago, our Dean Yan had perfectly treated six cases of Hell Flower infection without leaving any sequelae. In addition, there was a new patient a few days ago. Do some math. It’s time to leave the hospital now.”
"Very good!"
Qi Jie's heart moved, and he hesitated for almost a second before saying: "Sir, along the way, we have left behind many Hell Flower-infected people on the road. If the territory can treat them, what price will we have to pay?"
"What?"
"If you leave infected people alone on the road, aren't you leaving them to die?"
Before he finished listening, Qi Qin looked shocked: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? What are you waiting for? Go and pick them up now!"
"Now?"
Qi Jie was stunned and wanted to say something else, but he saw that Qi Qin's eyes had lost focus and he had obviously entered the game panel.
When Qi Qin came to his senses, a slight roar suddenly sounded at the end of the mist.
The roar comes from far to near.
When they got closer, three trucks with caterpillar tracks suddenly jumped out of the fog.
It's like the three heads have just woken up
Behemoth!
