Chapter 45 The truth

"I'm infected." Liu Yan leaned tiredly on the corner of the wall: "Get the bandage away from me... Cassia? It's so good that you are alive."

The person who was about to come up to bandage him stopped moving immediately, Meng Jianguo took the bandage and said in a deep voice: "I'll do it, you all sit there, including the children."

Liu Yan leaned against him, Meng Jianguo bandaged his arms, calves, and the bandages were tightly tied, and the blood stopped.

Cassin wiped the blood from Liu Yan's face, and Liu Yan reported the mission intermittently. Meng Jianguo just listened silently. Finally, Cassin said: "Where is my dad."

Liu Yan said: "On the eleventh floor, it will come down soon."

It was quiet around, and Meng Jianguo said, "You should take a rest first."

Liu Yan lay on his side, pillowing on Cassia's thigh, which was still sitting with Meng Jianguo.

"Will he die?" Cassin said.

Liu Yan: "Yes."

Meng Jianguo: "I don't know."

Liu Yan: "What do you want? When I die, I will belong to you. Dear. Give you a tablet."

Cassin said: "If you don't want it, can you get an injection?"

Meng Jianguo: "Liu Yan, is your position in the mission important?"

Liu Yan said: "Maybe, I have to follow the last part of the mission. Zheng Feihu specifically explained to me that there may be unexpected situations on the large console. Only the technician in the central workshop can turn on the maintenance system. If I let me hibernate in advance, this task will probably be done."

Meng Jianguo was silent for a moment, and then said: "Then after completing the task, try injecting you with dormant serum. K3 may still be... but you need to find it. You will fall asleep directly after the injection..."

Liu Yan said: "Will it hurt the brain?"

Meng Jianguo did not answer.

Liu Yan: "Will you become a fool, right? Idiot? Lose all your memories?"

After a long silence, Meng Jianguodao: "Or let them complete the task as soon as possible and send you to the second zone, and you can directly inject dormant serum, provided that you did not become a zombie before that."

Liu Yan said: "Oh, I would rather become a zombie. I feel that being an idiot is better than becoming a zombie. At least it can save you some food."

Meng Jianguo agreed: "You are very conscious, and I think so too."

Liu Yan: "..."

Cassin stopped talking and touched Liu Yan's head.

Liu Yan lost too much blood and his body temperature was cold. Cassin took off Meng Jianguo's military coat and covered him.

"Dad." Liu Yan said.

"How?" Meng Jianguo said in a deep voice.

Liu Yan said: "If Meng Feng hadn't come, I would become a zombie. You are responsible for shooting me with one shot. Cassia cannot make a move. Is it okay?"

Meng Jianguo Road: "Yes."

"Fenghua, you can interview him casually." Liu Yan whispered: "Don't have too loud voices, let me sleep for a while."

Xie Fenghua cried in a low voice, with tears in his eyes and touched Liu Yan's head.

No one even knew Liu Yan here. He was just a stranger to them - a stranger who crawled out of the vent, inexplicably.

No one spoke, Liu Yan fell asleep in tranquility, his dream was in a daze and erratic, and his soul seemed to have left his body, penetrated the walls, and floated towards his head involuntarily.

There was a blue light at the highest point, which was light and dark, as if calling him.

It was a signal, just like the call I heard in the mountains of Dengfeng, but the two were completely different. Its light made people feel quiet and comfortable, just like a land of heaven between the final destination and the vast sea of ​​stars.

Another signal came from nowhere, continuing to interfere with his will, just like the whine of resentment and pain, vaguely confronting the blue light, two strange spiritual forces pulled each other, as if they were about to tear Liu Yan into pieces.

He was sweating profusely and opened his eyes gasping.

"Do you have a fever?" Meng Jianguo's voice was still calm and secure: "Find some water to apply to him on his forehead."

Applying the cold cloth to Liu Yan’s forehead, Liu Yan was a little better.

"Dad." Liu Yan said.

"He is Meng Feng?" someone asked at the other end of the cafeteria.

"No." Meng Jianguo replied: "His name is Liu Yan."

"Then why did he call you 'Dad'?" Yang Yushan asked.

Meng Jianguo explained: "He is also my son."

Everyone was quiet, and after a long time, Liu Yan said, "Can you answer a few of our questions? It has nothing to do with family affairs."

Meng Jianguodao: "Your curiosity is too strong, this is not a good thing."

Liu Yan: "I heard the truth in the morning and died in the evening, and I have no other thoughts."

Meng Jianguo said lightly: "Ask."

Liu Yan: "Fenghua, you ask. My information is not detailed."

Xie Fenghua sat on Meng Jianguo's left with his knees in his arms. The discomfort caused by Liu Yan's injury has gradually calmed down. She asked at a volume that only a few people could hear, but not too loud, "General Meng, what's the secret in the 19th floor biochemical laboratory?"

Meng Jianguo was silent for a moment, and then said: "There is a research sample there, which is the 'nuclear' of the Oaks complex."

When the answer was right, Liu Yan no longer doubted it. He asked, "Where did the 'core' come from?"

Meng Jianguo shook his head slowly: "There are no research results at present, maybe there has been progress."

Liu Yan thought for a while, his mind was confused, his whole body was cold, and his thinking speed was much slower. After sorting out his mind, he asked: "The 'nucleus' can gather all the bodies after the second death and become a giant. What is their ultimate purpose?"

Meng Jianguo Road: "According to the top-secret information I know, their destination is the Mariana Trench in the Western Pacific. After leaving the continental shelf, the pressure of the sea water will reduce their volume and the virus is limited by the water pressure."

"Mariana...the deepest trench in the world." Liu Yan murmured: "At an altitude of 11,000 meters, where does the sea trench lead to?"

Meng Jianguo said: "No way, after they entered the trench, they were crushed into waste by water and completely destroyed."

Liu Yan was silent, Xie Fenghua said: "We got a drawing, which is an analysis of the 'nuclear'..."

"Yes." Meng Jianguodao: "The Seventh District submitted a report earlier, and they believed that the composition of the 'core' of the aggregate Oaks complex was called a string, and named it the Earth string."

"What is a string?" Xie Fenghua asked.

Meng Jianguodao: "I am not a major in physics, but do you know the unified model?"

Xie Fenghua shook his head blankly. Liu Yan knew something, but he didn't have a deep understanding of classical physics.

"Scientists believe that the elemental particles that make up our world are molecules, and molecules are decomposed into atoms, and atoms are decomposed into protons, neutrons and electrons, photons, etc...." Meng Jianguodao: "I try to explain it with my understanding, but it may not necessarily make you fully understand."

Xie Fenghua nodded, and Meng Jianguo said again: "The particles are decomposed again and become quantum particles such as quarks. Scientists believe that they can be decomposed again, thus obtaining the most primitive composition in the microscopic world model - string."

"The string hypothesis believes that these gadgets are a closed curve. Imagine a two-dimensional circle. When it moves, it becomes a ball. This is the principle of two-dimensional motion forming three-dimensional space. These closed lines have a certain curvature, and each of them forms all the particles in our world according to a certain oscillation frequency. According to different frequencies and oscillation methods, they have energy different from each other, forming a variety of quarks."

"And these particles are combined again to become the ever-changing world before us."

"So what does it have to do with... the Oaks Complex Giant?" Xie Fenghua said.

Meng Jianguodao: "The unified model proposed by superstring theory can almost explain everything that we cannot see or touch at present, including thoughts."

"The seventh district believes that thinking consciousness and brain waves are a set of special basic strings. In layman's terms, even the 'soul' we often mention may also be a manifestation of the primitive string."

Liu Yan said: "Free consciousness?"

Meng Jianguo said: "Yes, so that blue light, the seventh district, believes that it is the free consciousness of the earth itself, which is responsible for releasing gravity, gathering all waste materials together and destroying them. There is an assumption on the nineteenth level, which compares the earth to humans, and this blue light to white blood cells in the human body."

"White cells are responsible for the body's immunity, swallowing up other harmful cells, and then clearing them." Meng Jianguo said: "Just as the current confirmed situation, it just happened to be completely in line with it."

"Then the difference between you and District 7 is..." Xie Fenghua frowned.

Meng Jianguo Road: "Virus removal."

"We died very, very many people, and finally found the source of the virus outbreak. The original sample with the virus infected body was a rotten plesaurus under the ice cap in Antarctica."

Liu Yan took a breath.

Meng Jianguodao: "This is everything I know. Pleurosaurus is said to have been frozen in the Antarctic glaciers as early as the Ice Age. I don't know where the virus in its body came from..."

Cassin said: "Will it be brought by aliens?"

Meng Jianguodao: "Maybe there is this possibility. One day in ancient times, an asteroid hit the earth with a virus, causing large-scale ecological extinction. After entering the glacier period, everything was temporarily over, and the infected samples were frozen under the ice. In the long history of humanity, the greenhouse effect caused the ice to melt, the plesiosaur began to rot, the virus began to spread with ocean currents, and the coastal cities of all countries became the concentrated outbreak of the first wave of zombie tides."

Xie Fenghua said: "That is to say, if we do nothing, these zombies will be cleaned up by the earth's own immune system, right?"

Meng Jianguodao: "Some people do think so, but I don't think so. This is the difference between the military and the scientific research center."

"First of all, if the Earth string itself has ideas, why not communicate directly with people?" Meng Jianguodao: "The blue halo you saw on the 19th floor and the recorded drawings are the fluctuations of the strings, and you still have no clue."

"Secondly, the virus has begun to evolve." Meng Jianguodao: "They no longer follow the most primitive eating instincts to gradually evolve individuals with simple thinking ability. In addition to your Hurricane team, other search and rescue team members passed back combat reports pointed out that in an organization with 100,000 individuals, there will be mutations, and one or more zombies have the ability to communicate and become the leader of all zombies... Liu Yan, you understand the consequences."

Liu Yan's previous fear was also due to this point, and he said in a trembling voice: "Not only that, they also shifted their targets to animals."

"Yes." Meng Jianguodao: "The evolution of this virus has been out of control, and animals are gradually being infected. If they are not bombed thoroughly, maybe even plants will be infected... Then... the result can be imagined."

Xie Fenghua said: "My last question is that the Alaska Institute in the United States was destroyed, the underground research base in Siberia in Russia was besieged by zombies, and now it is the high seas of China. The United Front Work Department was captured by this deep-sea animal... General Meng, you should know what I want to ask."

Meng Jianguo was quiet for a long time, and then said, "I'm sorry, Miss Xie, this research plan does not allow me to intervene. It is not necessarily the summoning effect of the Earth string on zombie creatures. Moreover, as far as I know, the Alaska laboratory used mice to conduct virus experiments without cleaning them up, and was eventually captured by groups of zombie mice."

Liu Yan said alertly: "You mean... those zombie octopus were summoned by the blue light on the 19th floor?"
To be continued...
