reverse rescue

The silver door was closed tightly. In front of the door, everyone who was still curious just now looked at each other in blank dismay.

Bai Yue lowered his voice and leaned into Gu Zhou's ear and said, "Chuan'er, although the married son is said to have spilled water, but he hasn't met his parents before, what do you mean by not letting him in..."

Gu Zhou reached out and pulled away a large pendant hanging on his body, but accidentally touched Bai Yue's forehead, and his hand was covered with cold sweat.

And the person who was teasing and joking just a second ago actually had pale lips and even a little blue complexion, and he didn't see the clue until under the bright incandescent lamp.

Gu Zhou subconsciously looked at Bai Yue's left leg. The trousers of the camouflage trousers had already been soaked in blood and dried up. There were circles of bandages wrapped around the steel bars to keep the steel bars from shifting. It was already bloodstained.

The wound doesn't look like much of a problem.

That can only be the back.

They didn't bring much medicine for their burns, and Bai Yue's entire back was affected by the aftermath of the explosion, so Doctor Xiaoye simply disinfected, applied some medicine, and then wrapped it with a bandage to avoid aggravating the friction with the clothes. Hurt.

Gu Zhou pressed Bai Yue's shoulder, glared at him fiercely, and wanted to take off his clothes.

"Don't, don't, Chuaner!" Bai Yue hurriedly pressed Gu Zhou's restless hand, and said in a low voice, "The public, don't flirt with each other, it's indecent."

Gu Zhou didn't bother to pay attention to him, he exerted force on his hand and kept moving.

Bai Yue, who was about to be stripped of his clothes, could only grab Gu Zhou's shoulders, hold him down, then shook his head slightly, and said solemnly, "Chuan, don't delay, open the door."

Gu Zhou tilted his head, just in time to see the big beads of sweat on the tip of the man's nose, and further up, there were dark eyes and slightly wrinkled brows.

What kind of problem is this?

As the injury worsened, he remained silent and wanted to resist.

Calling you Captain Sheng, do you really think of yourself as a spiritual leader?

When I'm such a big living person, it's just a display here?

Gu Zhou finished complaining silently in his heart, and decided not to challenge the authority of his captain, otherwise this person might forcefully run 50 meters back and forth in the open space.

He turned around, pulled Feng Biao, who was hiding behind him and swaggering to read the gossip, and slapped Bai Yue on him, and said, "Da Biao, your captain's waist is sore, help him."

Zhao Tiantian at the side was terrified: "Waist... sore waist?"

Then he twisted his neck and looked at Bai Yue: "Captain, it seems that you can't do it..."

Bai Yue showed a sinister smile.

Everyone watched the door obediently.

Gu Zhou freed his hand, and pressed his hand to the golden frame next to the door again. Immediately afterwards, the familiar mechanical female voice sounded again, and the lines did not change at all.

"Authorization failed, unable to open the institute's secure channel."

Gu Zhou frowned slightly: "Check the authority of each area."

"Ding--"

A swirling white halo appeared inside the golden frame, and after about ten seconds, the white halo disappeared and turned into a patch of red.

"Area B of the research institute has been closed, and Area A has entered a dormant state, and emergency evacuation authority can be activated."

"Whether to enable?"

Gu Zhou's hand suddenly dropped.

He widened his eyes, and murmured in disbelief: "Impossible...I've only been away for 20 days, how could Area B be activated?"

The electronic access control system couldn't understand this overly complicated question, and didn't get a usable answer. The mechanical female voice asked again: "Do you want to enable it?"

Doctor Xiaoye gently tugged at the corner of Gu Zhou's clothes, and Gu Zhou came back to his senses, and said tremblingly: "Confirm the activation, and take a picture before the playback of Area B is closed."

"Ding--"

"The emergency evacuation authority in Area A is being activated. The owner of the authority, number HG20200315, is researcher Gu Zhou. Estimated activation time: 10 minutes."

A green 10-minute countdown appeared in the golden frame, and then, the only remaining light source above the heads where everyone occupied began to weaken.

"Take a picture before playing area B closed. The projection device in the center of the buffer layer is detected. Is the projection nearby?"

Gu Zhou turned around and looked towards the center of the open space: "Yes."

A small black probe suddenly protruded from the ceiling in the center of the open space, and then the probe rotated a few times. It seemed that it had finally located the position of Gu Zhou and the others, and then it was fixed towards this side.

A beam of light is emitted from the probe, and then suddenly spread out, turning into a fine grid.

The color of the grid changed several times, and finally a figure in military uniform was projected on the open space.

The light and shadow were mottled, and the figure looked like a real person, looking at Gu Zhou accurately.

Doctor Xiaoye raised his head, just in time to see Gu Zhou's dazed expression.

Gu Zhou said quietly, "Teacher."

The figure was wearing a proper military uniform, regular military boots, and even his gray hair was meticulous. Judging from the projection of the holographic image, he seemed to be standing in front of a thick silver gate.

Human Shadow didn't seem to expect the video to be turned on so soon, he cleared his throat in embarrassment, and then said slowly:

"Hi compatriots, I'm Colonel Zhang Mingde, the director of the research institute. I'm glad that someone can still see this video. I don't know how you got in, but it doesn't matter anymore. In the face of disasters, there is no difference between you and me or different countries.

"It is now 20:1 a.m. on January 3, 9XX, China time. It has been more than four months since the research institute was put on red alert. During these four months, we have tried our best, but we still haven't been able to research the unknown virus. live vaccines or complete antibodies.

"At the last moment, the Institute had to use the most primitive embryonic cell culture method to extract possible antibody components from tissue fluid. Although this method is clumsy, it may be effective.

"The effect of the antibody we obtained through human embryonic cells has not yet been verified, and the institute is unable to verify it. Therefore, ten days ago, Lieutenant Colonel Gu Zhou, the deputy chief researcher of our institute, set off with three finished primary antibodies to search for human vitality. The continuation of the existing human beings is also the continuation of research.

"In terms of existing resources and human science, the research institute is at the end of its rope. We can't grasp the mutation direction and pathogenic mechanism of the virus. It is impossible for us to go any further. But in the past ten days, we have tried our best to create We have obtained enough primary antibodies, and all research materials and antibodies are stored in the central area of ​​the institute, hoping to help.

"God has not favored us, but we must not give up easily.

"Currently, Lieutenant Colonel Li Buwei and I are the only ones left in the research institute. Lieutenant Colonel Li is the direct person in charge of the Fire Seed Project. We have activated Area B of the research institute and are stationed in it to carry out human in vitro cultivation work, hoping to be able to cultivate human beings in the depths of the Gobi forgotten by the world. Continuation of square inch human civilization.

"Human civilization has been mighty for thousands of years and cannot be cut off in our hands. Therefore, I hope that no matter who sees this video, they can leave this place clean. In addition, Area B is the most powerful refuge in Huaguo The base gathers all the unannounced cutting-edge technologies of Huaguo, so don't try to attack with uranium bombs or nuclear weapons, it's just futile.

"If there were heavy weapons like this, we'd be happy to see them explode on top of zombies.

"Area B will enter a closed state in 10 minutes, and the door behind me will be closed for ten years. After ten years, if the virus returns to the dust, we will lead the new era of human beings to rebuild their homes.

"By then, hopefully we'll be able to meet other humans again."

The holographic image flashed a few times here, and then disappeared suddenly.

Gu Zhou stared blankly at the direction where the figure disappeared, and seemed a little at a loss.

Everyone stared blankly at the dark void, full of doubts, trying to find out the disappearing figure and ask what happened.

Only Bai Yue stared at the back of Gu Zhou's messy head, a little worried.

When the figure first appeared, he seemed to hear Gu Zhou calling for the teacher.

One of the survivors recovered from the shock, and he said with some fear: "What is the end of the mountain? Don't you have antibodies? Why do you want to start that kind of fire plan? Then what about those of us who are still outside?"

Bai Yue was thinking about Gu Zhou's emotions, when he heard this man yelling nonsense, his mind instantly became a mess, and he said angrily, "What are you yelling about, aren't you still alive and well?"

The man shut up resentfully.

At this time, Zhou Kaiqing coughed twice, and then said: "Since the research institute can withstand the power of nuclear bombs, and the surrounding area is desolate, it should be very safe, and in order to carry out human in vitro culture, in addition to consuming a lot of resources to freeze fertilization In addition to eggs, artificial wombs and in vitro greenhouses are also needed for cultivation, plus various types of artificial intelligence, which require a lot of energy and materials, so the materials here should also be quite sufficient."

The others all looked at him thoughtfully.

Zhou Kai tidied up the collar of his shirt, then smiled and said, "Why don't we just stay in the research institute, I believe it's safe enough here, and it can be regarded as a little contribution to the continuation of human civilization."

There was a sneer in Gu Zhou's eyes, and he said coldly: "No, you follow our team members, bring antibodies and copy research materials, and return to the human shelter together."

"Why? Aren't there enough dangers along the way? We're going to die when we go back!" Zhou Kai suddenly became a little anxious, "Or are we ordinary people not worthy of entering this high-end shelter?"

Gu Zhou sneered: "Zhou Kai, you should have heard what Colonel Zhang said just now, and then you should also understand what is and how important this deep underground is under our feet, so as long as I am here for a day, no one is allowed One-in-one danger exists."

Gu Zhou stared at Zhou Kai's eyes: "Do you understand?"

"You..." Zhou Kai seemed to be about to say something, but the projection equipment in the center of the open space suddenly lit up again, and then Zhang Mingde and another middle-aged man appeared in front of everyone at the same time.

Everyone once again held their breath and looked at the past.

After a few seconds of silence, Zhang Mingde used a completely different tone from before, and said with a smile: "Xiaozhou, after thinking about it, I still have to record a video for you alone, lest you say that I am disrespectful, that I don't mean anything, and deliberately lie you.

"Ahem, of course there are elements of deliberate deception, but you don't have to worry about it, or just be angry for two or three years, seven or eight years is too long, in short, don't wait until the teacher comes out to start the teacher Just ask the crime, I know you like to hold grudges in your heart the most, haha."

Zhang Mingde's laughter perfectly overlapped with Bai Yue's faint smirk, instantly diluting the sentimentality in Gu Zhou's heart that hadn't had time to take root.

He turned back coldly, glanced at Bai Yue threateningly, and then continued to look at the projection.

"I lied to you for three months, but it was actually selfish. According to the highest law of the Fire Project, when a disaster that cannot be overcome by manpower occurs, the Institute should immediately activate the Fire Project when the active force is less than five people, and abandon the ground base. Into the new human civilization.

"You don't know that, and I never told you.

"But the last infection accident left us with only three people. Lieutenant Colonel Li mentioned it several times, but I was reluctant to authorize it because I always fantasized that it was not the last moment. Maybe tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, we Antibodies can be developed, and then compatriots in prison can be rescued.

"This last obsession with human civilization is the irrational flaw of human beings, and it is also the greatest awe of human beings towards their compatriots. Therefore, even in today's advanced artificial intelligence, the authority of the Tinder Project is still fully controlled by human beings.

"I've been rambling so much, I just want to tell you that our persistence was not in vain. Look, haven't you come back? Let me guess, how long did it take? One month? According to your temperament, it shouldn't take so long. But who knows.

"I think you should have seen the surviving humans, so you should also be able to understand more deeply why our original March agreement was just a dead letter, and why we must carry out the Tinder plan regardless of whether you come back or not.

"Think about it, among the surviving humans you saw, how many women are left?

"Although I don't want to admit it, even if the technology is so advanced, the artificial womb is gradually mature, and women's innate physical weakness makes them need more protection, then in the end of the disaster, there will inevitably be heavy casualties. This is the misfortune of all human beings.

"However, human reproduction must be gender equality, based on the mutual relationship between men and women, so even if we don't want to bring up this primitive topic of reproduction, we still have to face the ultimate consequences.

"I hope you can stick to the last bastion with other humans. Ten years later, the teacher will return to you with a new life, okay?"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Mingde and Li Buwei at the side smiled and waved in Gu Zhou's direction, as if to say goodbye.

At the end of the projection, Zhang Mingde stopped waving his right hand, tapped the void lightly, and said softly, "Xiao Zhou, don't cry."

Gu Zhou's back froze suddenly, but the hot eye sockets were sore and swollen, as if tears would burst out of them in the next second.

Immediately afterwards, he was wrapped into a warm embrace, and the chest of the person behind him was pressed tightly against his back. When he spoke, his chest vibrated slightly through the thick clothes, reaching the deepest part of his heart.

Bai Yue's warm breath came from beside his ears, and he said in a low and soft voice: "Teacher doesn't allow you to cry, brother hides you and cry secretly, okay?"
