The captain of the task force sent by Beihaizhou is named Boris. In the customs of Beihaizhou, it has the meaning of "fighting unyieldingly for glory". His father hopes that he will fight like a man. .
At this time, Boris walked out of the disinfection room, put on the prepared uniform, and walked into the living area.
"Hey Captain Boris, I'm really glad to see you."
When several of his subordinates saw Boris walking in smoothly, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and their hearts were completely relieved, because being let in meant that he was not infected and was completely healthy.
"Stop talking about this, take me to the cafeteria quickly."
However, Boris just turned pale. He waved his hand and walked directly to the canteen. At this time, a group of people were already feasting in the canteen. After all, everyone was hungry after a day of activities.
There was an XTN robot chef in front of the canteen. When he saw Boris and others arriving, he immediately stretched out his six hands to serve food at the window and placed it neatly on the windowsill.
Then, Boris seemed to be very hungry. He rushed up like a vicious dog, took away the high-calorie food in front of him, sat on a chair and started eating voraciously.
"Captain Boris, it seems you are really hungry."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Boris completely ignored all this. The living area here can be said to be the bridgehead of another world. The living conditions are absolutely no problem. The food provided is enough to satisfy any big man. The only requirement is that it cannot be wasted, so Boris I ate three portions directly and stopped when I saw that my stomach could hardly hold it anymore.
Then, as an officer's benefit, he took his own key and arrived at the single dormitory under the guidance of the android.
As soon as he saw the bed, Boris felt a sense of drowsiness coming over him. He climbed into the bed without thinking, and fell into a deep sleep...
Ding dong, ding dong!
He didn't know how much time had passed, but when an alarm sounded in his ears, he slowly opened his eyes.
But then, he felt a burning sensation coming over him. Every muscle and bone in his body was in pain, making him grin continuously.
At the same time, a sticky feeling came over my body.
Boris slowly sat up from the bed. He looked towards his bed with somewhat dazed eyes, but when he saw it clearly, his pupils suddenly shrank!
I saw that my bed was stained with large blood spots. These blood spots were densely packed, and some were even connected together, clearly imprinted on the sheets under me.
"how come?"
Boris looked horrified. He quickly looked up and saw a mirror thoughtfully placed on the wall. He rushed forward and immediately saw his appearance.
At this time, Boris's face was pale and he looked extremely bloated. His whole body seemed to have gained weight, and tiny tumors appeared on his face and body!
When he saw these sarcomas, Boris almost collapsed. He stared at the sarcomas on his face, and then stretched out his hand to touch them. These sarcomas felt extremely painful to the touch, making him gasp and keep touching them. When I was doing it, there seemed to be something slowly moving inside!
! ! !
Boris looked even more horrified, "How could it be possible? I obviously took the test and I didn't suffer any infection. Why, why did it become like this!"
As he spoke, he leaned directly against the wall, breathing heavily, and at the same time, the index fingers of both hands quickly squeezed the tumor, trying to squeeze out the contents inside!
The tips of these tumors opened and closed as if they were breathing. He took a deep breath, and then his hands suddenly exerted force, and a sharp stinging sensation hit him, making Boris dizzy...
However, with this squeeze, he actually squeezed something out. It was a small, insect-like tail. It was squeezed out due to the huge pressure, and it actually squirmed twice in front of his eyes, and then retracted it again. Go back!
"Ah, damn!!!"
Boris exclaimed, and he angrily hammered the mirror in front of him. There was a click, and the mirror shattered and fell to the ground with a clang.
But at this moment, the ding-dong-ding-dong sound came again. Boris looked blankly in the direction of the sound, and then he saw clearly that the sound came from a speaker on the roof.
Obviously, this is the wake-up call.
As if he thought of something, Boris suddenly felt despair. Instead of opening the door, he staggered back to the bed and pressed a red emergency button next to him.
"Hello Captain Boris, this is the artificial intelligence system numbered X2532, codenamed Anna. How can I serve you?"
A cold, mechanical female voice came from the overhead speakers.
“…I ask for quarantine.”
Boris wriggled his lips and finally said, "I have been infected by some kind of abnormal infection and need emergency isolation. The living area of Beihaizhou also needs to be isolated..."
"Received, I will report your request immediately, please be patient..."
Immediately, on the Beihaizhou District task force side, the green light in front of the door of their living area flashed, turning from green to red instantly. At the same time, all the doors only heard a clicking sound, which was the sound of the air lock closing. , in a blink of an eye, the original living area on Beihaizhou turned into a quarantine area.
At the same time, a piercing siren sounded over the entire base!
…
"Infect?"
Almost at the same time, many researchers on the two scientific research ships immediately received the news. The bald researcher at the head immediately walked to the big screen. With a wave of his hand, the screen became densely packed with rows of cameras.
"Currently, only one sign of infection has been found, which occurred in the living area of the East Ukraine contingent. The situation may be serious."
A researcher next to him reported to the bald researcher.
The Bald Head Research Institute looked at the information in their hands and immediately issued an order, "Immediately block the entire living area, not only the living area of the Dongwu Task Force, all living areas were blocked together, and at the same time, orders were given to the special forces performing guard duties at the base. The soldiers in the team are not allowed to enter the living area again, and no one is allowed to return to reality!"
"All living areas have been sealed off."
Suddenly, a mechanical woman's voice came from the cabin, which was the previous artificial intelligence Anna, "Currently, there are 82 task force soldiers, 35 logistics researchers, 100 bionics, and XTN robot series in the four major living areas of ABCD. 56 units.”
"very good."
The bald researcher pointed towards the location of one of the cameras and said at the same time, "Turn on the camera in the dormitory of Captain Boris of the Dongwu Team."
Following the researcher's command, among the densely packed camera images that filled the screen, one image immediately enlarged to cover the other images. Suddenly, everyone saw the terrifying scene—
Next to the bed, I saw a man with a face full of sarcoma, holding a broken mirror and cutting it on his face. Every time he cut, a piece of flesh would be cut off.
Moreover, I don't know if he has been numb for a long time or something. Although his face is covered with blood at this time, his face is calm, looking like a fierce ghost from hell.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this strange scene.
"Let him stop quickly, he will bleed to death if this continues."
The bald researcher frowned, then suddenly thought of something, and ordered at the same time, "Anna, send the androids and XTN robots for treatment, and connect the communication at the same time. I want to talk to this captain."
"Understood, the medical robot is on its way, the call has been connected..."
Intelligent AI Anna's voice continued to be heard, and the bald man looked at the people behind him. After everyone was completely quiet, he turned to look at the screen again, "Captain Boris, can you hear me? ?”
"I can… "
The officer suddenly heard a human voice and was shocked. He quickly looked above his head with a pleading expression, "I'm infected, come and save me!"
"Captain, please calm down for a moment."
The bald researcher said solemnly, "I am Professor Will. We have just met before. Please rest assured that the Foundation will not give up on any soldier, but now I have a few questions to ask you."
Hearing this, Boris nodded, with a look of joy on his bloody cheek, "Professor Will, just ask, I will definitely know everything!"
With that expression and the blood on his face, Boris looked a little strange at this time.
"Very well, then I'll ask."
Professor Will looked solemn, "I just checked the test record when you entered the living area, and found that the test report above said 'no signs of microbial infection found.' What is the reason? Is it you who used means to conceal the infection, or is it you?" Was the infection after entering the living area? "
"No, none of that!"
Hearing this, Boris stood up quickly and said with a horrified expression, "I didn't hide it. I did show that I was not infected. I don't know why this happened. Help me!..."
Hearing that Boris was a little incoherent, Professor Will continued, "Okay, Captain Boris, please relax, we don't mean to blame you, so the next question is, are you sure the infection is caused by the wound on your arm?"
"Wound?"
Boris was stunned for a moment. Then he realized that after he woke up, he seemed to be in pain all over his body, so he ignored the wound on his arm yesterday. Thinking of this, he quickly pulled his sleeves to expose his arm!
"hiss!"
At this moment, everyone on the scientific research ship couldn't help but gasp. They saw that the wound on Boris's arm was already covered with red tumors, which were as densely packed as cauliflower or a honeycomb. It made people's scalp numb and unbearable. Look straight!
"It seems that we can basically confirm that the infection was indeed outside the living area... "
Seeing this, Professor Will murmured in a low voice. At this moment, the air lock in Boris's dormitory made a screeching sound again, and two XTN robots rushed in and killed Boris with lightning speed. Press it to the ground!
"Ah, what are you doing? Let me go!"
In the video, Boris screamed loudly and struggled continuously, and a large amount of blood spread all over the dormitory room!
But humans couldn't compete with the XTN robots after all. Soon, one of the robots tied Boris's hands behind his back, and then two more androids came in pushing a negative pressure isolation stretcher, which the two robots immediately picked up. Boris's legs and shoulders completely shut him into the isolation stretcher.
"Anna, isolate him and treat him with all your strength! Samples collected in this room will be destroyed directly!"
Professor Will seemed worried and shouted a few instructions before looking down at yesterday's encounter report in his hand again.
Obviously, the reason why Boris, an excellent task force member, was infected was because of the large number of tentacles yesterday.
Fortunately, when the Dongwu team got the samples, he originally wanted to transport the samples to reality for personal study, but this application was rejected by the higher levels of the Foundation. According to the other party's intention, this kind of otherworldly It’s best not to bring things back to reality before you figure out the nature of everything.
He originally thought this was making a fuss out of a molehill, and was a little disapproving of it. After all, this kind of research would definitely be conducted in a level 4 biosafety laboratory, and the chance of leakage was no more than one in 100,000.
However, now after seeing what happened to Boris, he only felt a chill running down his spine and his hands and feet were a little weak.
Such a terrible thing should go to hell and never appear in the real world!
so far so good…
This thought flashed through my mind, and then Professor Will said again, "Anna, notify Dr. Edward and prepare to turn on the VR control settings and let him personally perform surgical treatment on Captain Boris through the XTN robot."
"clear."
Anna answered quickly.
After arranging Boris' rescue, Professor Will returned his gaze to the living area again, "Anna, have you found any other signs of infection in the four living areas of ABCD?"
"Detecting."
Following the answer of artificial intelligence Anna, the original surveillance video of Boris suddenly shrunk again, and at the same time, rows of new surveillance videos popped up, which showed the task force members from various continents sitting uneasily in the dormitory.
Because the entire living area was isolated, the members of these task forces were isolated in their respective dormitories. Before, Boris was the captain of the Dongwu team, so he was qualified for independent dormitories, and the general task force However, there are no more members, and they can only live in a small dormitory with four people to a room.
However, as Anna tested, Will only saw endless flashing screens, and then suddenly stopped on the screen of a dormitory, and at the same time, a red box suddenly appeared!
This box framed the neck of a member of the Dongwu Task Force, and then with the red box as the center, the screen zoomed in again and again.
Finally, a bright red spot on the neck of a soldier appeared on the screen!
Immediately afterwards, the scene was quickly intercepted and frozen by artificial intelligence, and then the red sarcoma on Boris's body was found, and the two pictures began to be compared automatically.
"Warning, the feature similarity is 65%, and the probability is 93%! The current possibility of spreading the unknown infection is 93%!"
"Summary: No signs of infection have been found in living areas B, C, and D, but living area A, where the Dongwu Task Force is located, has been completely contaminated!"
