366, Mutant 29

When asked about the situation in front of him, Yu Heng retracted his thoughts and expressed his opinion: "According to Mr. Xia, this kind of shadow is called an enhanced version of the shadow, and our existing shadow capture device can no longer cope with it. Now the institute is accelerating the renovation and upgrading of equipment, and it cannot be completed before supporting Yunhai. Without the shadow capture device, the rescue will be greatly reduced."

Nan Jingxue nodded. This is to put it mildly. A single black shadow can kill hundreds of people in a short time. If the opponent is not caught immediately, no amount of reinforcements will be enough for it to kill. Now that the shadow capture device is no longer easy to use, the black shadows must be even more unscrupulous.

"Any good ideas then?"

"Unless the protective shield is moved, there is no solution for the time being."

Mr. Xia followed up and said: "The protective shield manufacturing plan will take at least ten years." In these ten years, they can only produce the crudest fakes. Their research goals have always been down-to-earth.

The meeting reached an impasse. They must support the Yunhai Safe Zone. Whether it is moral or considering their own interests, this operation is necessary. When the nest is overturned, there are no intact eggs. At this tense moment, they all understand the meaning of death and coldness.

Yu Heng gave Mr. Xia a wink, and Xia Tingsong suddenly felt something about the master-servant contract, so he stood up: "I suddenly had an inspiration, I want to go back to the research institute!"

After Xia Tingsong left, the meeting couldn't go on any longer. The reason why Xia Tingsong is sitting here on behalf of the institute is enough to prove that today's wars are deeply dependent on technology. The constant changes and upgrades of the shadows push the institute's status to continue to rise. Especially in the South China Sea Security Zone, Lu Andong has attached great importance to the institute since its establishment. Even if they knew that the institute now belonged to the female corps, they could only pretend not to see it and let the female corps occupy two seats at the meeting.

"Captain Zheng, look at this - do you know what new research ideas Mr. Xia has? We will send troops tomorrow morning at the earliest, otherwise we are afraid of something happening to Yunhai." Researching this thing takes time!

"Let me ask!" Yu Heng said, "After asking, I will give you an answer immediately. As for the candidates to send troops tomorrow, let's decide now. Time waits for no one."

Quickly stepping through the gate and getting into the special car outside, Yu Heng ordered: "Go to the research institute." Sitting in the car, he laughed out loud, everyone was shrinking, and even before they went out to fight, they were worried that there would be no matching ones this time. Weapons, missions will fail, and their reputation will drop. When they think this, they have already failed.

When he arrived at the research institute, he went in alone and told his adjutant to make all the preparations needed to leave tomorrow. He had just been in the meeting when he suddenly had an inspiration, which made him unable to help but ask Xia Tingsong to leave the meeting room and speed up the meeting. schedule.

Ever since he suspected that the black shadow was a monster, he had planned to transform the exorcism talisman into the shadow intake device. He did not have the spiritual power to drive the exorcism talisman, so he could only use the power of modern technology to study it for a long time. He suddenly had an idea at the meeting and couldn't help but join the research institute.

"Inform Zhenhan that she will lead the team tomorrow."

At dawn the next day, the mighty motorcade of the Nanhai Safety Zone set off. The horn sounded throughout the safety zone, and residents along the street kept shouting and waving.

"Come back! You must come back!"

"Take it, take it!" A pancake, two sweet potatoes and a few corns were sent to the farewell residents, holding small objects and throwing them on the military cards.

In the laboratory, Yu Heng was sleeping on the table. Xia Tingsong woke him up excitedly: "Come on! Captain, come and see!" He raised his head, rubbed his eyes, and followed Xia Tingsong.

In a certain dormitory, Zheng Hengli urged: "Husband, hurry up, they are leaving."

"Come on, come on! Didn't Hengman say she won't go this time? Oh, don't rush and be careful!"

"Then I want to give it to others too. Husband, take the bag of cans."

"I know, you wait for me at the door, I'll be here soon."

In the research institute, Yu Heng and other research institutes spent sleepless nights and finally finalized the plan at night, adding a new structure containing an exorcism talisman to the shadow ingestion device overnight. If it succeeds, there will be no need to worry about the intake port getting stuck if there is an enhanced version of Sombra in the future. The power of the exorcism talisman will be drawn out, scattering the shadows before ingestion.

No matter how thick and solid it grows, it will be easier to catch if it breaks up.

After finally testing the finished product and instructing the factory to speed up mass production, Yu Heng had time to go back and take a nap. The orderly had dried the quilt for him, and it was fragrant and soft. He fell asleep in a hazy state and made up for it vigorously. When he woke up, it was already past ten o'clock the next night. The orderly brought him dinner and gave him good news: "Sister Xiaowei said when she came over in the evening that the factory was going very smoothly and it might be ready tomorrow. The first batch.”

Yu Heng nodded: "Tell them not to be impatient. They have to do it quickly and do it well." He scooped the porridge with a spoon and asked again: "Is there any news from Yunhai?"

"Here it comes! Sister Xiaowei has sorted it out. I'll get it for you." He brought over a pile of information, took it and looked through it carefully to know what he knew. The troops dispatched to Nanhai traveled very quickly and arrived at the Yunhai safe zone early. According to the news, when they arrived, the mutants surrounding them dispersed a little, but then gradually gathered again. According to the investigation, the number of mutants continued. Increase.

In the middle of the night while he was asleep, the mutant finally couldn't bear it anymore and launched an attack.

"Looks like he's starving, his eyes are green, and he drools when he sees people."

He pointed to this sentence, which was the original words of Wu Zhenhan, the head of the female corps this time, and the operator who received the call wrote it down. He thought, starving... isn't he starving? Most of the survivors are in the safe base. When the safe zone was first established in the early years, the loopholes everywhere were like sieves, and mutants sneaked in in groups every day, just like thieves who sneaked into the watermelon field, and it was hard to guard against them.

At that time, when we first faced mutants, our methods were still a little immature, and the military and civilian hunting teams in the safe zone suffered relatively heavy losses.

But people are a wise race that becomes more courageous after setbacks and constantly learns lessons from failures. Slowly, the safe zone is built better and better, and the base is getting safer and safer. In turn, the mutants have less food to eat.

However, we got some information about the survival status of mutants from the captured mutant population. This is top-secret information that ordinary residents don't know-in the mutant gathering place, they raised human food. Cannibalism is actually a living person!

They are very clever! I don't know who started it, but they actually started the "breeding industry". They cut off the meridians of the right hand and right foot of the captured people, and then put them in a circle to be self-sufficient, grow crops and vegetables. Occasionally, when the owner is in a good mood, he will collect some supplies from outside for them to use. In order to achieve sustainable development, they also learned the ancient kung fu of cutting people into pieces, and cut people into smaller circles. After years and months, people are still alive.

This is not the most horrifying thing. What is more shocking is that they encourage childbirth. Men and women are locked up together, and those who are not active will have their hands and feet cut off as punishment. When they heard about this human tragedy for the first time, all the top leaders were speechless. Then they sent troops to annihilate the gathering place, but the mutants' reconnaissance ability was very high or the internal response was timely. Before the army arrived, all the people withdrew, leaving a trampled vegetable field.

Because these news were too horrifying, the top leaders decided not to spread it, for fear of causing panic among the people. But the fact that something exists cannot be ignored. The mutants are facing the ironclad safety zone and are willing to attack at all costs. The reason of "starving" is very sufficient.

Last night, the mutants launched the first round of exploratory attacks and retreated before dawn.

Zhenhan said: There is a high possibility of a formal attack tonight. Our defense was fine last night, but we only caught two mutant shadows. They must know that we are almost helpless against the mutant shadows. I estimate that it will be a fierce battle tonight. They will use the mutant shadows to lead the charge and break the first line of defense.

Yu Heng put down the file and said, "Connect Zhenhan."

"Yes."

He walked out of the bedroom and went to the command post downstairs. There were two people on duty in the communication department. They followed the order and began to contact Zhenhan through internal channels.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Zhenhan said that there was no movement outside for the time being, and the Yunhai safety zone was on high alert.

At 12 o'clock in the evening, the movement of the mutants was detected.

At 12:50 in the evening, the mutants began to attack.

Through intermittent communication, Yu Heng heard and saw the tragic battle from beginning to end. In the real-time video, the towering power grid of the Yunhai Safety Zone was damaged in the artillery fire. The weapons in the hands of the mutants were not much worse than those in the safety zone. He knew that many supplies outside could not be recovered. At the beginning, the safety zone focused on searching and rescuing survivors, supplemented by collecting supplies. When they finally had time, the mutants had already moved everything away.

After a long and deliberate attack, it would definitely be a life-and-death struggle.

Yu Heng did not sleep all night, always paying attention to the battle situation over there. The power grid was damaged, the birdman rushed in, carrying □□ and throwing all over the city, and the three-meter-tall giant overturned the artillery platform... When the sun rose, his eyes were sore that he could not open them, and he barely slept for a while. Soon he was woken up again, "There is important news, come quickly!"

He quickly took the communicator: "I am Zheng Hengman. What?!!" He held the communicator tightly: "Zhenhan, calm down! Biological weapons have been deployed, and now countless residents in the safe zone are sick?! What about you? How are you?"

"Captain! Mr. Nan asked you to go to a meeting, saying that there was a change in Operation Yunhai!"

"Captain, the monitoring station reported that our regiment is responsible for monitoring. The three monitoring stations four miles outside the safe zone have been destroyed, and drones have been sent to patrol."

It seemed that in a short period of time, various changes followed one after another. He stretched out his hand and gestured, and the voices behind him stopped. He continued to communicate with Zhenhan: "Why didn't you send a video communication? Send one over for me to see. Send! Listen to me! ”

After about seven or eight seconds, the video call was connected, and he saw Zhenhan, whose face was festering under her military cap, smiled bitterly and said to him, "Captain, you are still so sensitive. The accompanying military doctor of our regiment has seen this virus, which is highly contagious. Those infected will first fester all over their bodies, have a high fever, and their respiratory tract and lungs will be damaged first, followed by coughing up blood..."

Beside Zhenhan, other female soldiers showed their heads together, their faces were so festering that it was almost impossible to tell who was who. Yu Heng's throat was blocked, and unspeakable sadness and anger surged in his heart. He said in a deep voice, "Don't give up, tell me what you need over there, and I'll send it over here. Hang in there!"

"Yes." Zhenhan responded, and Yu Heng saw tears rolling in her bloodshot eyes under the brim of her hat.

After hanging up the communication, he went to the conference room in the management area. Before leaving, he gave an order to the monitoring station of the female regiment: "It's good to use drones to investigate. Don't send people out for the time being to communicate with the monitoring stations of other regiments." Keep in touch and communicate with each other." As he walked, he gave instructions to the people in the research institute and hospital to prepare for departure from the sea of ​​clouds at any time. "How is the progress at the factory? Send me the first batch of shadow capture devices first!"

By the time he arrived at the conference room, the senior officials of all sizes had already arrived. Everyone had their own channels for information, so Nan Jingxue only briefly talked about the previous situation and then looked at Xia Tingsong: "Dean Xia, you Is there anything the institute can do?"

"You're clueless. I can't guarantee it." Xia Tingsong rolled her eyes at him and didn't even touch it. How could he know what the virus looked like? "We need to see the patient."

"This won't work. We can't call them back for the time being. They will bring the virus to the safe zone. Either send people there with medicinal materials and diagnose and treat them there, or place them farther outside the safe zone and build a few rows. Quarantine area, let them come back after they are cured.”

The former one, who will go? No one here raised their heads, they were just in deep contemplation. I think it was the latter. What about the Sea of ​​Clouds Safe Zone? Just give it up? If you stretch your hand halfway, won't all the energy you put in earlier be in vain?

Yu Heng didn't like this kind of behavior the most. People who were so procrastinating would be embarrassed. Maybe it's because he doesn't take his position so seriously, and when faced with many things, he can break away from the shackles and be more relaxed. If you want to protect your own people, you still need your reputation and interests, so just do it!

He said that he already planned to let his people come back first and settle in the town closest to the safe zone. He would wait until a treatment method was found to talk about rescuing the Yunhai safe zone. As for whether the people from the other corps would come back, he didn't care.

"My people are ready, let's go." He stood up and left the conference room.
