Song Ying and Chen Guo walked to the mall, Song Ying was humming a song and was about to go in, but Chen Guo pulled her back.

"What are you doing?" She immediately looked around vigilantly, thinking that someone had spotted her, but she didn't pay attention to her. Everyone, including Chen Guo, was watching the TV news through the French windows.

"A terrorist attack occurred on the Lianhua East Bridge section of this city. According to eyewitnesses, the source of the terrorist attack came from a bus. An ape attacked the driver and passengers in the bus. The scene was very bloody. The number of casualties is still being counted Among them, this incident may be related to the L city virus infection..."

"Now we are at Lianhua East Bridge. We found the survivor who was in the bus at the time and asked him to tell us what happened! Sir! Sir, the camera is here!"

A man with his head wrapped in a steamed bun still had straight eyes: "I... I saw two people fighting, hitting one of the boys on the head and then fell off. The whole car was covered in blood, and the man who was beaten A little bald, that's why he's turned into an orangutan."

"Ape, you mean you turned into an ape, right!" The reporter's voice corrected loudly outside the screen.

"I don't know if it's an orangutan or an ape. Isn't it the same? Anyway, the whole body is covered with hair, so it must not be human. It killed the people in the car. When the police came later, they were all killed by it. ..."

More and more citizens gathered in front of the TV, and the discussion became louder.

"How did this happen, virus? What virus."

"It's the plague caused by the earthquake in City L. It is said that the authorities have not been able to control it at all, and it has spread to neighboring cities. My God, I thought it was just alarmist talk before, but I didn't expect such a dangerous situation to develop."

"Plague? Virus? Don't scare me, is it the end of the world?"

"I really don't want to scare you, the end of the world is really possible."

……

Song Ying and Chen Guo retreated instinctively, quietly away from the crowd, and stuck to the corner of the shopping mall.

"I'm going!" Song Ying's eyes were blinded by the flash, "What did I see, the degenerated orangutan killing people, was it filmed? Huh? On the bus? Then it was rolled out? What are the officials doing? Aren't you afraid of causing panic among the people? Why don't you all run out of the city after such a report?"

Chen Guo didn't wear a hat, but wore a long padded jacket that was zippered up to her chin, and let down her hair.The baggy clothes set off her petite figure cutely.The little girl was puzzled after hearing Song Ying's words.The military always does some weird things that people can't guess, but she feels that this time there is no reason.

"Let's take a look at the causal relationship of this incident. The military's acquiescing in media reports should be the default, so the panic that will be caused is also within their expectations...even within the plan."

"That's right! How could the military fail to stop the media? It's not like they would make such a low-level mistake. There is only one possibility—this is intentional."

"What good will it do them after panic?" As a college student who hasn't left school, Chen Guo sometimes hates that she has too little social experience, and there are some unexpected things.

"The advantage is that we can quickly screen out the virus carriers who escaped from L City—that is, us."

I don't know when Bian Yuan and Xin Yitong appeared behind them, and they were startled when Bian Yuan answered the words.

"Master, where did you come from?"

Bian Yuan pointed to the TV news that was watched not far away: "From there."

Song Ying yelled: "You were there at the time?!"

"Correct."

"I admire... what kind of shit luck is this."

Chen Guo frowned, and asked worriedly: "Is this real news? Could it be fake news deliberately created by the media to gain attention?"

"No, it's true. The murderer was indeed a degenerated orangutan, and it was very powerful. Both Xiaotong and I almost suffered."

"How many people died at the scene?"

Xin Yitong: "At least forty or more."

Song Ying: "My mother..."

Chen Guo asked: "Master, you just said that the military did this to screen out us?"

"Yes." Bian Yuan felt that her pockets were cold, so she put her hands into Xin Yitong's pockets and burrowed into her palms to keep warm, "Let's think about it this way, what choices will the citizens make when they panic? If you don't have any super Ordinary people with abilities, what is your first choice when your city is in danger?"

Song Ying: "Run, I almost ran away after the earthquake."

"Yes, so once the news of the virus invasion spreads, the citizens of City R will definitely rush out. This is much more proactive and faster than their door-to-door searches. There are only three roads out of City R. After controlling these three main roads, one Check and see who has digital injuries on the back of the neck, saving trouble and effort."

"Really..." Song Ying was flustered by what she said, "I really want us to fall into a trap. Even if we don't take the opportunity to escape out of the city, there are not many people left in the city. Then they will conduct a thorough investigation. , it will be easier to find us.”

Bian Yuan raised her eyebrows and flattened her lips - that's right.

Xin Yitong was also very worried: "In order to find us, we will not hesitate to spontaneously create chaos. The news of this disturbance will not only spread in City R, but will also spread to the whole world. It will definitely cause explosive chaos at that time. This is what the military wants. What is the result of this? What good is this result for the military?"

"It's no good, but it's their last resort."

"at last?"

Bian Yuan nodded: "Just now we met Anais from the Reef, she said that there are tens of thousands of people who are infected and have evolved. In addition to the evolved ones, there are also degenerated ones and those who are in the incubation period. The number may be more than I can count." The maximum value that comes to mind is much more. The failure of the "Bright Project" was not due to the betrayal of the key figure Xingjun, but more importantly, it has fatal drawbacks. Yes, as the military, of course they want to The virus is contained within the smallest range, but if you think about it, is it possible? Not to mention flying in the sky, living people like us escape out of control, not to mention some even more uncontrollable flying insects and rats Ants. It is impossible for the 'Bright Project' to isolate all viruses, even if the most advanced incendiary guns and disinfectants are exhausted. I don't know who made this plan in the first place, it is obvious that It was a hot-headed decision. The spread of the virus is irreversible, and what the military is doing now is the last resort. Of course, they still cannot wipe out all the creatures carrying the virus with their unilateral power, so they Help is needed. Who is the most powerful and broadest help?"

The answer came out.

"That's right, it's the people."

After listening to Bian Yuan's words, Xin Yitong shuddered with goose bumps all over her body.

"You mean... the military is deliberately creating conflicts between ordinary citizens and infected people?"

"Yes, if I were the decision-maker of the military, I would definitely do this. This is the only feasible solution at present." Bian Yuan said firmly, "Stir up the contradiction between 'ordinary people' and 'infected people', let Ordinary people generate fear, which helps the military screen targets, and even directly participates in the fight against virus-infected people and things.”

Chen Guo's eyes straightened a little: "It's true that we're going to die...but we've reached this point, and there's nothing we can do if we don't die. The military is taking an extremely difficult and dangerous road. If it goes well, modern human society will be preserved. If it doesn't go well It is very likely to become the chief culprit for the destruction of all mankind."

"But they've run out of options."

"They are, and so are we."

The crowd gathered in front of the TV dispersed at some point, leaving only the 70-inch super-large TV scrolling to play the mosaic bloody scene and the overwhelming roar of the apes...
