Wasteland Survival Code

Chapter 700 Misfortunes Never Come Alone
After the executive officer left the interrogation room, he took off the mask on his face, took a wet towel from the assistant at the side, wiped his face, and asked, "Are there still no clues about the deceased?"

"No." The assistant shook his head, "The explosives are all prepared with some daily-use chemicals, and the source has not been traced. As for the poison, it is found to be a medicine called 'Black Sickle', the main ingredient is Strychnine, toxic grade six, this is a white crystalline powder that can be used as a central nervous system stimulant, and can also be used to remove parasites in the intestinal tract, of course, this refers to a very small amount of use. In the old days, this kind of thing was also used as a powerful rat poison. Oral administration, inhalation, skin or eye contact can cause poisoning. The poisoning time is about ten to twenty minutes, and it will destroy the central nervous system of the poisoned person. , leading to muscular atrophy, convulsions and suffocation, and finally the poisoned person will die in great pain—"

"Has it been confirmed?"

"Yes, when we found the body of the deceased, it was curled up in a corner, and there were a few traces of scratching on the wall and the ground. All these symptoms were similar to strychnine poisoning, and in the kettle of the deceased We detected residual strychnine, and in addition, a part of slaked lime was deposited at the bottom of the pot, which is exactly the same as the composition ratio of 'black sickle'."

"What about the source of the 'Black Sickle'?"

"It's impossible to check. This potion is sold on the black market in many shelters. Most residents use this potion to deal with small mutant creatures like bloodthirsty rats, especially in several poor areas where rat disasters are rampant." The black sickle potion is one of the must-haves. Due to the simple process and low cost, many small workshops can produce the 'black sickle', so... If you want to investigate one by one, the number of people involved may be more than 10 ..."

The assistant didn't continue, but the implication was obvious, and this clue was broken.

"Sigh... Forget it, at least we now know what the cause of the genetic collapse is. By the way, among the soldiers who have been injected with the genetic medicine, how many of them have eaten this batch of canned food?"

"Statistics are still underway. According to the available data, the expected value is about one-fifth."

"One-fifth... That's more than 1 people..." The executive rubbed his temple vigorously, "It's really... a headache... By the way, what new instructions are there? come down?"

"There are no new instructions. I only emphasized that this matter must be kept secret. In addition, the 'organization' has opened up 36 new permissions to you, including the mobilization of the Union Gendarmerie."

"Secret and confidential... There are 10,000+ people in the sixth district, including the staff... Do they think this matter can be held for a long time? Giving me the complete command of the gendarmerie is to kill me Is it? This group of old people, this kind of blame job only knows to buckle on my head—”

"Sir, it's better to be cautious when you say things like this..." The assistant glanced around and reminded his boss in a low voice after confirming that there was no one else in this passage.

"Don't worry, as long as you are still useful to those old people, even if you call them old people in front of them, they will not do anything to you, and if one day you are useless to them, even if you Hold their legs and kowtow to them, and they will kick them away mercilessly—" The executive stretched, "Okay, now let's go and see how the new isolation area is arranged I hope those guys on the engineering team don't make me lose my temper again."

……

……

Shelter No. 444, the wealthy area, the villa of the chairman of the Aedas Foundation.

"There are still 15 minutes to enter the second round of the gap, why haven't the reinforcements appeared yet! Could it be that they were killed by the parasites halfway?" Falcon stood by the window of the villa, outside the high-voltage electric field, still Surrounded by a large group of parasites, as for their reinforcements, they didn't even see half a shadow.

"It's impossible to be killed. They are equipped with heavy weapons that we don't have, as well as power armor troops. In addition, this is an underground shelter with narrow terrain. It's not like the vast wasteland on the wasteland. The heavy troops are facing The parasite still has a certain advantage..." Qi Lin shook his head.

"But according to the agreed time, they should have arrived here 5 minutes ago!"

Qi Lin didn't speak, but set his eyes on a black backpack, which was No. [-]'s backpack. Half of the communication equipment was exposed from the opening of the backpack, and the red indicator light was constantly flashing.

"To be honest... I have a bad feeling..."

Qi Lin took the communication device out of his backpack and turned it on, only to see a "communication request from identification signal A017" displayed on the screen.

The identification signal A017 is the communication number of the support army found on the [-]th.

After hesitating for half a second, Qi Lin put on the headset and pressed the "Y" button for accepting communication.

The quality of the voice communication was poor, and the noise of the messy electric current was quite harsh, but Qi Lin could still hear the constant gunshots, explosions and screams from the other side, obviously in the middle of a fierce battle.

"...Hiss...Hello? Are you from the rescue operation team?... Ss...we are from the 017th Mixed Unit of the Allied Forces... Ss... Please answer if you receive it... Ss... Please answer if you receive it... ..."

"Received, this is the rescue operation team, I want to know why the support did not arrive on time." Qi Lin said.

"... hiss... there has been a... hiss... a very serious emergency... hiss... the evolutionists in the mixed army... a large number of abnormal deaths have occurred... hiss... we have lost the strongest The part of the combat power and the vast majority of the officers... We planned to retreat temporarily for a rest, but we were surrounded by some of the parasites that suddenly... hiss... the number of casualties has exceeded half, the power About two-thirds of the armor has also been destroyed... We are now in danger... We cannot rescue you..."

"...Okay, I see, I wish you good luck." After a few seconds of silence, Qi Lin replied.

A large number of evolutionaries died abnormally, and with their heels, they knew that the support troops had encountered the same situation as them... Those soldiers who died suddenly must have been injected with that incomplete genetic drug.

Without the Evolvers and a large amount of powered armor, it is estimated that whether this support force can withdraw to the frontline base has become a problem.

As for rescuing Qi Lin and the others, that is an impossible task.

"It's true that misfortunes never come singly..." Qi Lin said with a wry smile after hanging up the communication.
