Hardcore crisis

When the hour hand pointed to seven o'clock in the morning of the next day, yesterday's heavy rain finally turned into sporadic light rain, which could no longer affect the sight and hinder people's movements.

At the place where the fighting broke out last night, after a night of heavy rain, it was still possible to see that the scene was in a mess. It was not just the result of charred trees, but the original forest area was completely reduced to countless charred wood and debris. Big holes all over the ground. As for the alien corpse, let alone it. Even if you open your eyes wide, you can't see the slightest trace at all.

However, there were still groups of soldiers wearing biochemical protective suits entering the scene, carrying equipment to collect samples left on the ground. As for the display of the Alien Queen's body further away, it was tightly sealed and became a separate isolation area.

The body of the Alien Queen, which cannot be transported away in secret for the time being, is being preserved in a hall made of plastic film covering an area of ​​more than hundreds of square meters. Inside, more than a dozen professionals are carefully taking photos, videos, and most importantly, collecting the body. sample.

Standing in front of this huge corpse, humans are like little mice in front of a lion. Even though they know that this monster is dead, even so, the heavy deterrent brought by the corpse makes everyone present feel their heartbeats increase and increase. Dull, this is the realization of the absolute inferiority in strength between races and the fear.

"Chichi..."

The collected samples were well kept in a thermostatic box. Immediately, someone picked up the box and walked out, and someone else walked in, transporting the samples back and forth from time to time. Only when the samples were almost collected did they arrive under the escort of several infantry fighting vehicles. A military airport hundreds of kilometers away.

"Colonel Wei..."

Liang Jianguo also walked in wearing a mask and a simple blue isolation gown.

In order to avoid secondary biological contamination, people without protective clothing cannot enter. They are still on the periphery separated by several layers of films and can only look inside through the films.

Seeing Liang Jianguo come in, Wei Yi turned to look at him.

"Instructions came from above."

Liang Jianguo didn't waste any time and directly stated the order from above: "Transport the body back to the 717 Project underground nuclear base as soon as possible. The place must be restored to normal within two days, and the highway must be restored this afternoon."

Hearing this, Wei Yi frowned. He understood the order to transport the body away as quickly as possible. After all, spy satellites pass over Donghai City every day, especially the US military, which monitors satellites near Donghai City. The map needs to be updated every two days. The longer you delay here, the greater the possibility of intelligence leakage and exposure.

It's just that the follow-up issues are too troublesome just to think about it. Fortunately, it's none of Wei Yi's responsibility. Anyway, it's just Liang Jianguo's headache.

But the highway must be restored this afternoon?

Are you kidding?

Without Wei Yi asking, Liang Jianguo knew what Wei Yi wanted to say just by looking at Wei Yi's frowning expression.

"There's nothing we can do about it. The highway has been blocked for so long. This is not a small stretch of road. It surrounds the entire small group of mountains and includes three highways, four national highways, and two provincial highways... If it continues to be blocked, it will really be necessary. The storm in the city cannot contain the fire."

Liang Jianguo smiled bitterly. Donghai City was originally an international metropolis, with hundreds of thousands of traffic vehicles entering and exiting every day. If the highway continued to be blocked, the trouble would be too great.

"Hmph, you also know that the search operation is not over yet. Can you go and make sure that no one is missing?"

Wei Yi ignored Liang Jianguo's difficulties and said directly: "If one of them is really missed because of you, who will be responsible for it?"

"This... isn't it almost done? There shouldn't be much of a problem, right?"

After the Alien Queen was eliminated, the continuous search continued throughout the night. Another division has invested in this area to participate in the search. The combined strength of three divisions, not to mention digging three feet, at least conducted a rough search after the heavy rain weakened, and no more suspicious traces were found. .

Sometimes it is difficult to refute the leader's will. Wei Yi thought about it. It is the nature of soldiers to obey. Since the order has been issued, they cannot disobey it. But he also has a way.

Taking out the map placed at the back, Wei Yi grabbed a red pen and drew a red circle: "From here on, we still can't let down our guard. Haven't we discovered some caves before? We can't rule out that there are no underground rivers and other undiscovered ones." The possibility of a cave..."

Liang Jianguo looked around and found that the place Wei Yi drew was almost twenty kilometers away across the highway. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. This was easy to handle. Twenty kilometers was enough distance.

Wei Yi did not continue to insist on blocking the highway. Now that the heavy rain had stopped, it would not take too long to carefully search the areas that had not yet been searched. If any situation arises, he would have enough time to respond. If it would take too long, he would never agree to Liang Jianguo's so-called instructions.

While the two were arguing, a few hundred meters away among the treetops of the forest, a micro-drone's red light flashed and it continued to encrypt and transmit the collected image data.

The movement of the entire quarantine area, the movement of personnel, and all the helicopters flying by were not escaped from the surveillance. Wei Yi and others could not have dreamed that someone could monitor them in this way.

The technical capabilities that surpassed this era allowed Lu Yuan to collect all the information without going close to this area.

"Although it's a few steps late... but the situation is not too bad. I don't need to do it myself."

They followed the traces of the Alien Queen, but they did not expect that the military discovered the traces of the Alien Queen and many other aliens in advance, and a firefight broke out in an instant.

After seeing the ground-washing bombing last night, Lu Yuan didn't know whether to smile bitterly or feel grateful. If he had moved faster to catch up with the Alien Queen, he would probably have fallen into the military's bombing attack. Then even if he has the existence of nanowires, it is impossible to withstand the artillery attack. The final outcome will be that he instantly turns into powder with the alien.

Now this result is basically in line with his initial plan. Even if the alien's body inevitably falls into the hands of the state, at least there are no living samples... If he wants to study the alien's genes and characteristics clearly, with the current situation Humanity's biotechnology is still unsustainable. Humanity currently has countless unsolved problems regarding its own DNA, not to mention the even more difficult alien genes, which are not carbon-based organisms at all, but are based on carbon. , hydrogen-based hydrocarbon-based organisms.

The only thing that needs to be worried is, does the exposure of the alien mean that the military will intensify its investigation into the ins and outs of this incident?

There is no saint in the world who has perfect plans. If the military invests a lot of resources in the investigation, even though the warehouse he rented used a false identity and is about fifty kilometers away from the Qishan Reservoir, there will still be doubts left. Here, the military might actually find some clues.

Fortunately, he eliminated most of the clues later. Even if some clues were found, it would be difficult to find him now.

After cutting off the image data transmitted back from the drone, Lu Yuan turned around and left without hesitation. He also wanted to take the opportunity to leave before the army had completely closed in.

It took him a whole morning before Lu Yuan finally made sure there were no traces of leaks and left Xiaoqun Mountain. He first packed up all his belongings, then found a sand truck and took a ride, easily returning to a place on the outskirts of Donghai City. He was at a construction site and jumped out of the ride before the driver noticed.

After dozens of hours of hard work, he was now covered in mud, his hair was mixed with large pieces of muddy sand, and there was a lot of mud accumulated on his face. Just sitting on the street like this, all the beggars in Donghai City were stunned. Not so bad.

"Hey, I really can't do this anymore."

He worked so hard to build power with hard-core technology companies as the backbone, wasn't it just to avoid taking action personally? This time, because the time happened too suddenly, he was unable to mobilize the manpower of the organization, and he will not be able to take action easily next time.

Just thinking about last night's carpet attack, Lu Yuan broke into a cold sweat. On the battlefield of modern warfare, an individual's individual force is too weak, and even if he is not careful, he will die without a burial place. (To be continued ~^~)
