Chapter 488
No pigeons allowed
Despite the incident, Xu Ling was not panicked.
This SAN-1 had already expected it before he entered the fog. Because he had a deep understanding of the power of chaos, he noticed some hidden things when he was slashing the fog with a knife outside.
So after hearing A Jing say that someone had come in, he felt a strong concern and decided to go into the gray fog and experience it personally.
Unfortunately, he guessed correctly. The power of chaos in this fog will indeed have an adverse impact on humans. The reduction in his SAN value is the best proof.
And his actions also showed that even the sealed protective clothing could not isolate the influence of the power of chaos, so those who had briefly entered the fog might be in danger.
Xu Ling lowered his head, and saw that his footprints were still clearly visible when he came. After all, he confirmed that this was not a supernatural space, so he followed a row of footprints toward the fog.
When he reached the edge, he could hear the vague voice outside.
"We have to go in and find him."
This was Ning Qingshuang's voice. She was originally responsible for the alert work, but at this time, she was obviously negotiating with someone else because she found that the rope was broken.
A Jing's voice said, "But if we go in, the rope will also break. Look at the broken location, there are obvious signs of corrosion. It's really strange that the fog obviously has no corrosiveness."
Then Xie Yilang's voice came: "Don't worry, let's select people first, but observe it again, don't act easily until the last moment..."
Xu Ling felt relieved. This guy was finally not as impulsive as before.
"...If something happened to him, it would be useless for us to go."
Can you speak?
Xu Ling walked out of the fog with a dark face: "I'm back."
Xie Yilang turned his head and said, "I'm finally back. We just said that we would go to you at all costs."
"Thank you."
Xu Ling sighed helplessly, then suddenly reacted and said seriously to A Jing, "Who has entered this fog just now? No, as long as you have contacted it, find it out immediately and return to Marcus Town with me."
"What, what's wrong?"
Seeing that he was so serious, A Jing knew that the matter must be serious, but she couldn't help asking.
"I know I want to ask, but don't ask for it now. Xie Yilang, assembles all researchers, strictly prohibits anyone from entering the fog again. If you want to study the fog, you can only use instruments and equipment, and you are not allowed to contact directly with your body... etc."
Xu Ling's face changed, "Where is the sample just now?"
A Jing pointed to the instruments and researchers not far away: "It's there."
Xu Ling walked over quickly and almost sternly told the person who was still analyzing the sample to retreat, then reached out and touched the transparent transistor containing the mist.
[SAN-1.]
It's over.
He suddenly thought that when he entered the fog, he was wearing a completely closed protective suit, but he was still affected by the power of chaos and consumed the SAN value, which shows that the gray fog was not a concrete image of the power of chaos, but accompanimental creatures. The real chaos is invisible and cannot be physically isolated.
Unlike the power of chaos that can be isolated by using a sheath of the Bode Sword, it is even more weird and terrifying for humans.
“Who has any contact with this container?”
Xu Ling turned to A Jing and asked anxiously: "Have you touched me?"
"Touch, touch."
A Jing was a little scared. He had never seen Xu Ling speak to him like this.
Xu Ling looked at him deeply: "You can't continue to stay in this place anymore. Everyone packed up the instruments and retreated immediately."
What he was most worried about was the current situation. His SAN value resisted the influence of the power of chaos, but others did not have such means. The worst result was that all people who had been exposed to the fog might mutate and become irrational walking dead.
After he issued the order sternly, even Xie Yilang, Ning Qingshuang and others did not dare to speak too much, so they could only organize all their men to retreat and follow the people from the middle of the Mobis River to return to Marcus Town.
After Xu Ling reported the situation, even if there was no evidence, the command center attached great importance to it. He immediately quarantined and observed the people who had been exposed to the fog. Three days later, those who had entered the fog personally developed symptoms of accelerating heart rate. Seven days later, those who had been exposed to the sample were the same, and the situation immediately escalated.
"Such a large-scale power of chaos..."
Zhu Talan rarely showed a helpless look, mainly because his opponent is not a physical entity and cannot be solved by beating him if he doesn't accept it.
"And that shit fog is still spreading, it's so damn hateful!" Zhang Yuan hammered the table and felt very frustrated.
Fu Zheng, who had been silent, spoke again: "The so-called chaotic force encountered this time has a very fast impact and a stronger effect. Moreover, it is still expanding, and the situation is more serious than it seems on the surface."
There was a long speech from the general, and everyone else looked at him and listened quietly.
"This kind of fog can lead to human mutations and has the same effect on non-warriors. If the fog is allowed to spread without restrictions, all our efforts over the past century will be wasted."
This is obvious. Humans lose consciousness and attack other creatures, which is no different from monsters. If the fog spreads unrestrictedly, the human world will collapse sooner or later.
Xu Ling said, "But what should I do?"
"First, we must understand the causes of fog, secondly, we must study its components and strive to find a way to eliminate fog. If we cannot do it, we must try to resist and prevent the fog from spreading. In the least, we must also study the antidote to deal with the mutated impact of fog on humans."
Xu Ling said: "I can go inside to investigate the cause without being affected by the fog."
The other people's eyes stayed on his face for a while, agreeing with this statement. After all, the Sword of Bode did not affect him.
But the key problem now is that researchers cannot touch the fog. Since they cannot even touch it, there is no way to talk about research.
At this time, a figure suddenly came into the outside of the command center, and everyone looked up and saw that it was Li Xian.
"The Chief, the research team of the investigation team has a total of 232 people applied for analysis and research on gray fog, please approve it."
After saying that, he placed a stack of papers full of words on the table. Xu Ling glanced at it. Except for a few short lines of application content, the remaining large blank spaces were written with signatures after signature.
Xu Ling knew that there were more than 300 researchers in the investigation team, but he didn't ask anything.
Seeing everyone silent, Li Xian said again: "We will strengthen protection and avoid contact with fog samples as much as possible, and strive to achieve results while ensuring safety."
However, more than 200 people participated in the research. Even if they strengthened protection, who could ensure that all employees were not affected by the fog?
After thinking for a long time, Fu Zheng took the paper and picked up the pen and wanted to sign it. Zhu Talan next to him suddenly said, "I am the commander-in-chief of the Expeditionary Force, and I should be there."
Fu Zheng frowned and said, "I'm against you."
"The signing and approval of the higher level does not meet the regulations!"
"I'm the rule!"
While the two were arguing, Xu Ling had already secretly brought the things over.
"Don't argue, don't argue, of course I signed the matter of our investigation team."
While speaking, he wrote the word "Agree" on an informal application.
After leaving the command center, Xu Ling first went to find A Jing. Now he and several others are in the same ward, and there is no way to be quarantined, but he has to undergo examinations every day.
"How do you feel?" he asked.
A Jing put the book he was flipping through by the bed and smiled and said, "I am so good at eating it."
Xu Ling walked over and patted his shoulder: "Say whatever you need."
“I need to go back to research.”
A Jing said, seeing Xu Ling frowning, he added, "Oh, we have already started to have symptoms anyway. If there are too many lice, don't bite them, don't worry about debt. If there are too many times, make some contributions."
People next to them who were also infected by the power of chaos came over and said, "Sir, we want to participate, too."
Xu Ling was silent for a while and said, "Go, I agree."
Before leaving the ward, he said: "I will go deep into the gray fog as soon as possible to find the cause and solution for it. You try to persevere and wait until I come back with the solution."
