six months later.

February 2173, Early Spring, Midtown Loop Monthly Council.

The weather was still a bit cool, Li Shuo stood up straight in a black military uniform, and put down the file in his hand: "...The above is the plan proposed by Professor Xia and I to fight against the 'trial' and the 'plague'."

After a few seconds of silence in the big hall, Nichkhun said: "Our current understanding of the 'plague' is only from the description of the predators. I think it is too early to make plans based on this."

"But we don't have this time to procrastinate," Li Shuo replied, "We all know that the strength of the predators is increasing. Hilde Tauschfenberg is behind the scenes and should be dealt with as soon as possible."

Since "death" disappeared, the actions of the marauders have become more rampant.Their powers are growing at an unnatural rate—something that has never happened before.

In the past few months, the station has obtained more information about Hilde by interrogating more captives.

The most critical of them are the looters who originally lived in the castle.They are powerful and occasionally appear with marauders.Although the appearance looks the same as ordinary people, they can be distinguished as long as they see the emotionless eyes.

In a certain experiment, Xia Yinan found that d06 could improve their infection status.

Soon several captives regained consciousness under the action of the medicine.Most of them have vague memories, and they can barely remember what happened in the castle.

Through their description, the station learned that Hilde has the ability to infect, which is a very special infection itself.Because of this characteristic, he was named "Plague", the fourth special sense in Pingcheng City.

The difference between Hilde's infection method and natural infection lies in its reversibility. d06 can directly kill the infected, but it can cure Hilde's infected.

It's just that the healing effect is not stable. The predators showed signs of re-infection within two or three hours, and finally completely recovered.

"...To put it simply," Xia Yinan explained to Li Shuo in this way, "the d06 developed according to the professor's plan is like a neutralizer. That is to say, it can make the 'signal' in the infected person decreased levels, resulting in death."

"As for ordinary creatures, without the protection of the filter of the mecha, d06 will bring the 'letter' into the body, which will lead to infection instead." Li Shuo said.

"Yes. Hilde's infection method is quite special, and it can keep his infected people to a certain degree of sanity. If possible, it may be more accurate to call them his 'followers'. Even if the concentration of 'letter' is only reduced, the It can bring people back to consciousness for a short time."

Xia Yinan rubbed his eyebrows, and then said: "This also means that we still have no way to eradicate the virus. After so many years of research, the professor can only neutralize the concentration at most. The antidote will take a long, long time , perhaps beyond the lifetime of the generation at the station."

"The fertility rate is too low. After today's younger generation, this place may just be a dead city."

"But it's none of our business." Xia Yinan looked up at him, "Have you forgotten, your world is White Wall Hospital. Those dear attending doctors are still looking forward to your return."

"But I remember you said that you want to see what the world is like. Looking at the current situation, it is almost impossible to return to the ground to live." Li Shuo said.

"Yes, at first I wanted to use the antidote route, and later I wanted to contact other strongholds to integrate forces. Unfortunately, these two plans have failed so far."

Li Shuo was silent for a moment: "...There may be a way." He leaned forward slightly, "I don't know if you remember a program that was tested in the Alpha system before."

"I don't remember, just tell me."

"It was named Alpha X at the time, and it was an auxiliary combat system loaded in the exoskeleton." Li Shuo said, "Although it is an unfinished product, if the data is retrieved and adjusted and imported into the exoskeleton, it can also increase the combat power. "

"At that time, I remember researching it for a long time, and Alpha X didn't have enough practical value."

"In the past, it was developed for humans. Now our opponents are only infected people. The previous motion capture system should be more than enough. And most importantly, it may be able to fight against 'judgment'."

I don't know if it was because of the gray fog of "death" that brought about evolution, and "judgment" has been strengthened to a certain extent just like ordinary infected people.

Ordinary infected people just thickened their skin, and occasionally mutated their attack methods, without any fundamental changes.But "Judgment" is different, it has basic fighting skills, and in this evolution, its movements are faster.

Without looking at the appearance of the face, no one can distinguish it from a seasoned veteran.Coupled with the horror of its own strength and speed, the level of threat immediately rose several levels.

Movements that are difficult to capture with the naked eye are not difficult for machines and programs.In long-term battles, the analysis system can also save a lot of energy and avoid mistakes.

Xia Yinan was silent for a while, then nodded: "It is indeed a thought."

Li Shuo said: "If my thinking is correct, we can clean up the infected people much faster. Reconnecting with other areas is not so difficult to achieve."

"Then we can come up with a plan to kill 'Judgment' now. The professor's body is almost exhausted," Xia Yinan said, "The sooner the better."

"Okay, I'll come back after the meeting, and I can draft a case with you." Li Shuo got up, ready to go back to the platform and board the upcoming Ji Zhou.

"Thank you." Xia Yinan said behind him.

Li Shuo turned his head and raised his eyebrows: "I thought I would never hear this sentence from you in this life."

"It's rare that a conscience has discovered it." Xia Yinan raised the corner of his mouth.

"You always look like everyone owes you 800 million, but it's not that bad." Li Shuo smiled, "It's because I didn't help the 'professor', but you, right?"

Xia Yinan froze for a moment.

This daze lasted only a short second, and he quickly returned to normal. He ignored Li Shuo, leaned lazily on the chair, and looked down at the research materials on the table.

It wasn't until the sound of closing the door that he suddenly let go of his taut bowstring, and pushed a pile of documents to the side with some irritability.

The corner of a document was squeezed too much, and it fell into the tea Li Shuo made for him.

The light brown color quickly stained the snow-white paper, and then slowly moved upwards, penetrating through it little by little.If left unattended, it will soon cover more than half of the paper.

Everyone knows what happened after that, even if you try your best to dry and remedy it, the water stains and the wrinkles it left will not disappear.

"..." Xia Yinan expressionless, stretched out his hand, tore off the wet corner, and threw it into the trash can.

……

After the meeting, the station began to review the documents on the crusade against "Judgment" and "Plague".

For half a month, Xia Yinan was equipped with an exoskeleton and sat in a rickety carriage with bright lights.

When Yong Ye travels between North Station and East Station, it will pass through a station.Because of the incomplete security system, this station was abandoned a long time ago, and when the dispatch center was still under control, it was adjusted not to stop at this station.

At this time, the vehicle still had 3 minutes to pass by that place, and the soldiers next to it had already opened the door of the compartment forcibly with instruments.

The violent wind blows from the tunnel, the subway issued a warning sound, and the tone of the entire carriage turned dark red.They shuttled through the darkness like this, as if their bodies were covered in flames, igniting the underground building that had existed for many years.

"Leave in ten seconds!" Li Shuo roared amidst the howling wind.

The countdown appeared in the eyepiece, and Xia Yinan supported one side of the door frame, watching the wall fly by in front of him.

At the last second of the countdown, he jumped into the darkness!

There was the sound of glass shattering, and he fell heavily on the station platform.Inertia kept him moving forward in the direction of the train, the exoskeleton rubbed against the ground, the sound was harsh, and dazzling sparks splashed out!

Xia Yinan felt uncomfortable under the strong impact, but he soon recovered.With the existence of "Xin", the speed quickly dropped.

The rest of the soldiers also adjusted and quickly formed a formation.The small platform that had been neglected for many years appeared in front of their eyes, and the air was full of dancing dust.

There are a few infected people on the platform, and it seems that the security door here has been broken.The team eliminated them silently, and then returned to the dark tunnel.

They stepped forward, and the lighting could not penetrate such a thick darkness, and they swayed with their steps, like ghosts.The tremor of the subway running was still under my feet, and soon disappeared without a trace, and there was nothing but the sound of footsteps.

Further forward is the fork in the passage.Within a few years of the virus outbreak there, the subway had canceled lines there.

Among them are several heavy security doors, blocking its connection with the main road.

In the silence, they came to the security door.No one knows what the situation behind the door is, maybe it's just calm, maybe there are mountains of infected people waiting for them.

But the ground reached here is very close to the former site of the military headquarters, where Alpha X is stored.

Enter the password and open layers of protective measures. Finally, the several meters high gates are slowly opened, and the iron blue color is extremely old under the light.

There was no sound from behind the door.

Carefully, they stepped into this unknown territory.Wherever the light reaches, everything is peaceful.There was some water on the ground, and occasionally a mouse was disturbed and ran away from the wall, chirping.

After walking tens of meters, a soldier murmured, "What is this...?"

What appeared in front of everyone was a small mound of dirt.

This mound of earth seems to be an extremely crude defensive measure, only reaching waist height, and it is not even completed, half of which is crooked.

The soil is wet and loose, and has no effective defense at all, and can be penetrated by the most common firearms.

But it stood silently like this, and saw a strange visitor in front of it in the passageway that had not been visited by anyone for decades.
