Fire often represents civilization, especially in this end of human civilization, those mutants cannot make fire. In fact, they are slightly afraid of flames, so only humans can use fire in this world.
After discovering the flame, Aoqi immediately extended his mental scan. Sure enough, there was a gathering place of humans below. It was not big, just like a small village. The total number of humans might be four to five hundred. There are many people around. This gathering place has a wooden fence. Even now at 11 or 12 o'clock in the evening, there are still more than ten people with firearms patrolling behind the fence, and the flames are just a few wooden walls in this village. It comes from the house.
Everyone was very excited when they met this gathering place, even Chu Hao. Although he had only entered this world for a day and a night, he had seen too much of the desolation, the ruins, and the mutants. Not to mention Chu Hao, everyone else also felt that kind of loneliness in their hearts, and they were really eager to meet human beings.
Chu Hao immediately landed the hot air balloon, and in order to avoid misunderstanding, Chu Hao even used a signal gun to fire a flare. Of course, it might attract mutants, but on the one hand, this place is already deep in the mountains. , On the other hand, the Arctic team is not afraid of mutants. As long as the number is not overwhelming, it won't take much effort to prepare them.
Sure enough, after seeing the signal flare, the entire gathering place was boiling. First, the guards shouted, and then a large number of people ran out of the wooden house. They all looked up at the simple hot air balloon, and a few of them People cheered, and most of them had complicated expressions. These people did not shoot, but it was completely different from the ecstasy they imagined.
Soon, the hot air balloon landed outside the wooden wall of the gathering point, and everyone got out of the hot air balloon. Chu Hao led them to the outside of the wooden wall. The people inside opened a section of the wooden wall. Through the small window, the leader of the guard motioned for everyone to come closer, and he used a scanning device to scan everyone's eyeballs. Then the people inside seemed relieved, and there were many people looking around from a distance on the wooden wall. Only then did a small door open in the wooden wall, allowing Chu Hao and others to enter.
In this wooden wall, except for many newly born babies or children, almost all the humans in the gathering point were already there. Most of them looked at Chu Hao and the others curiously, while a few people looked at them curiously. His face was heavy and he said nothing.
After Chu Hao and others entered, the leaders of the gathering point, about a few old men and women, led them to the largest wooden house in the gathering point, and there were several gunmen following behind them. , obviously also meant surveillance, but Chu Hao and others didn't care about this at all, so they followed all the way and went directly to the wooden house.
In this wooden house, there are only simple tables and chairs. It is obvious that this is probably the meeting hall or office space of the gathering point on weekdays. When everyone entered, an old man at the head of the gathering point pointed to the chairs for everyone to sit. There were also a few The staff next to me brought cold water, which was just ordinary water, and there were no drinks such as tea, and then there was a long silence.
After a long time, the old man at the head asked: I don’t know where you are coming from and why do you have a hot air balloon
Everyone looked at Chu Hao. Chu Hao was not polite and said directly: We are members of the secret military research institute of Area 51 of the United States. These are my last team members, as well as the civilians rescued on the road. I am Major General Chu Hao. , this is Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Heng, Colonel Nian Xikong, Major Aoqi.
Suddenly, the leaders of the gathering point were all moved. The old man asked with trembling hands: "Government, is the government still there? Wasn't it already besieged and annihilated by mutants a few years ago? At that time, the last government army was completely defeated." , is the government still there
A few years ago, the siege
Chu Hao wrote down these words, his expression remained unchanged, and continued: Unfortunately, our research institute in Area 51 lost contact with the government earlier. In fact, many of my team members have become mutants. People, we are the last survivors. We have been trapped in the laboratory until recently. Most of the mutants in Area 51 have moved away, and we took the opportunity to escape. So unfortunately, we don’t know whether the government still exists. With.
Suddenly, the old men sighed, and at this moment, a strong man rushed in from outside the wooden house. There were several people behind him grabbing him. The man came in and shouted loudly: It is because of you, researchers, that you have developed this virus, and it is because of you that these mutants have emerged. It is all your fault. You murderers, you demons.
As he spoke, this man was very excited. He also had a huge wooden stick in his hand, as if he was planning to perform a full-scale martial arts show. When everyone in the Arctic team was a little at a loss, suddenly, Chu Hao quickly bounced up, He jumped directly in front of the man, slapped him and sent him flying to the wall of the wooden house, and actually slapped him unconscious.
This change was so sudden that everyone was stunned. In just a moment, the guards pointed their guns at Chu Hao, as if they would shoot him immediately if he dared to make another move.
Are we planning to research this virus
Unexpectedly, Chu Hao, who was originally calm, seemed to have been greatly wronged. His face was red and his eyes were blood red. He roared loudly: The original purpose of researching this virus was to treat cancer. This Just like when we developed penicillin and aspirin, we just want to make the world a better place. We just want to cure all diseases. Could it be said that we should do nothing and let human civilization continue? Wasn’t it possible in the Stone Age
At this time, hundreds of people had gathered outside the wooden house, and almost everyone in the gathering point had gathered here. Because when Chu Hao said that they were government researchers, the guards outside had already publicized these words. These people all came after hearing the news. When the strong man seemed to be planning to vent his anger, everyone was vaguely hostile to these researchers. In fact, in the minds of these people, these are the reasons why the world has become like this. The researchers' fault.
You enjoy penicillin, you enjoy antibiotics, you enjoy airplanes and cars, you enjoy computers and televisions, you enjoy electric lights and light, but have you ever thought that these are all given by researchers like us? It was invented through research
Chu Hao was not afraid. He directly pushed away the wooden house and faced the hundreds of people. He didn't care that there were guns pointed at him. He seemed to be greatly wronged, and even had tears in his eyes. He shouted like this roared.
Under Chu Hao's roar, most of the people remained silent, and a small number of middle-aged people seemed to be unwilling. They estimated that some of their relatives died in this catastrophe, or became mutants, and immediately A middle-aged woman also shouted loudly: But if it weren't for you, there would still be this catastrophe because of you. That's why God sent this catastrophe to punish us. It's your fault.
Do we want the virus to mutate
Chu Hao immediately glared at the middle-aged woman and shouted loudly: According to your statement, the doctor doesn't care whether the patient is sick, because as long as the virus mutates, it is the doctor's fault. According to your statement, Shouldn’t we develop science and technology, shouldn’t we invent various things, and let us all turn into apes and primitive people? It’s also wrong for us to develop science and technology, and it’s also wrong for us to develop various things that benefit the public. I just want to ask those present. In a word, please answer me by touching your own chest and your own conscience. You can complain to us for all your faults and think that we caused this catastrophe. Then it was originally intended to benefit the whole world and was originally intended to heal. Cancer is something that has exhausted all our efforts and has produced fatal mutations. Then researchers like us, even if it comes to the end of the world, even if there is a catastrophe, and even we start to mutate, we will still be there. We, the researchers, who have made the last effort and still insist on fighting on the front line, who should we complain to? Answer me
After these words, even the middle-aged women fell silent. The entire scene was completely silent. The guards had put down their guns unknowingly, and looked at Chu Hao with a hint of respect.
In fact, this truth is very simple. No one was the intentional perpetrator of this catastrophe, and no one was the criminal. It was just because the virus mutated. This is actually the fault of nature, and it cannot be said to be the fault of nature. This is actually just the survival of the fittest. The reason why these people complain about researchers is that they want to find a place for their hatred, otherwise they will lose the meaning of life. It is as simple as that.
At this time, after Chu Hao entrusted this last illusion to awakening, almost no one could refute the truth. Yes, even the person who created the virus had good intentions. She did not do anything wrong. It's not fair to blame that person just because of the mutation of the virus.
My team, my companions, initially consisted of more than 400 people. In order to study this virus, more than 300 of them were infected one after another. However, even if it was about to mutate, they were all conducting their last experiment. I I don’t think my companion needs to be criticized like this, so I got excited. I’m sorry, but I didn’t do anything wrong. He was just in a coma. When he wakes up, if he still thinks so, I will attack him. I can tell you this You, my companions, my research team, who have sacrificed their lives are not only not criminals, not only not murderers, they are also heroes.
When Chu Hao said this, he said to these people with almost excitement: Because, in the end, we found out that the antidote is just the last bit. Once the last bit is completed, we will be able to turn the mutants back into humans.
This is the sacrifice of heroes. They will never allow the defilement of men like this.
In an instant, when the word antidote was spoken, the whole scene fell silent, and all the people were stunned.
Antidote to return to human form
