Ancient Invasion [End Times]

No.70 Four Days After the Invasion · "He's Coming!"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Cheng Sheng felt his heart palpitate for a moment.

The research institute is where he spends the longest time, longer than at home.

When he was still young, his mentor brought him to the institute, where he stayed all day long.

Before he was ten years old, Cheng Sheng knew the functions of all the rooms here.

At the age of 25, he formally appointed an expert of the Institute and started his research and work here.

This is the place he is most familiar with, second only to home.

Cheng Sheng took a deep breath, and couldn't help trembling when he exhaled.

Duan Yi stood beside Cheng Sheng, raised his hand and pressed Cheng Sheng's shoulder.

The palm was warm with body temperature, which made Cheng Sheng feel a sense of reality. He pulled out from the imaginary picture, only to find that his palm was covered in cold sweat.

He looked up at Duan Yi, and said lightly, "I'm fine."

Duan Yichen looked at Cheng Sheng: "Don't hold on, I'm here."

Cheng Sheng's eyes warmed up, and he nodded slightly. Just as he was about to say something, Lin Qian came over and said, "Is the doctor uncomfortable? It's normal for ordinary people to feel uncomfortable seeing this scene."

As soon as he finished speaking, Du Nanrong took Du Jingshu to the side and vomited.

Duan Yi glanced at Lin Qian coldly, and took a few steps away from Lin Qian.

The little girl vomited on the other side.

After finally getting better, when I looked up, I saw an infected person who was stuck between the opposite table and chair and couldn't move.

The infected person's wounds and flesh were rotten all over his body, and he was stuck in the table and chair. He stretched his arms towards Du Jingshu with difficulty, and made a "click" sound from his throat.

Du Jingshu wanted to scream subconsciously, but she couldn't hold it back. She lowered her head and hugged the chair and then retched. She slapped Du Nanrong beside her vigorously, and pointed to the infected person in front of her.

"Ouch...that thing...vomit..." Du Jingshu reminded with difficulty.

Seeing this, Du Nanrong drew out his machete and chopped off the infected person's head, then returned to Du Jingshu's side, and comforted him softly: "My daughter is fine, it's fine."

Du Jingshu saw the head gurgling and turning to her feet.

Little girl: "..."

There's really nothing more to throw up.

If you vomit again, you won't be able to move.

Du Jingshu suppressed the fear and nausea of ​​numbing scalp, and forcefully suppressed the scream that broke through his throat.

Seeing this, Xu Ying raised her foot and kicked away the head that rolled to Du Jingshu's feet. The little girl looked at Xu Ying gratefully: "Thank you, sister Ying."

Xu Ying patted Du Jingshu on the shoulder, the little girl is already doing well.

Du Jingshu quickly raised her head and glanced at the others, and met Zhang Hongfei who was frowning slightly. She lowered her head in frustration, feeling that she was lagging behind.

Zhang Hongfei frowned and stared at the infected person's head. They actually missed an infected person and didn't clean it up. It was really careless.

Seeing Du Jingshu's dejected look, Xu Ying paused and said to the little girl in a low voice: "Actually, the first time I went out on a mission and saw a corpse, I vomited so much that the captain threw it out. When did I finish vomiting?" When to go back."

"I'm also particularly worried whether the captain will write in my task evaluation, 'I didn't do anything but vomit'." Xu Ying curled her lips.

Du Jingshu was amused.

She looked at Xu Ying. Now Xu Ying still had a long pale scar on the side of her face, with neat short hair and a heroic appearance. She really didn't see that side at all.

"Sister Ying is very handsome now." Du Jingshu said, and the little girl said softly from the bottom of her heart, "I'm even envious. If I want to be like Sister Ying, if there is military training in the future, I will definitely not be lazy."

Xu Ying laughed and rubbed the little girl's hair.

Lin Qian leaned over: "What are you talking about so funny? Let me listen, let me listen."

Xu Yingbai glanced at him, and turned him aside: "Don't gossip when chatting between girls. What does Team Duan say? Are you going to go directly to the infected person now, or what are you going to do?"

"Take a break for a while. The two soldiers in Team Zhang's team are not in good condition. After recovering, go to the fifth floor to confirm the safety of BSL-4." Lin Qian said.

He looked towards Duan Yi and Cheng Sheng, and said in a low voice, "The doctor may also need to adjust."

"Doctor?" Xu Ying was stunned, and subconsciously looked at Cheng Sheng. The doctor was still the same as usual, and there was nothing that needed to be adjusted.

Lin Qian said, "Duan Duan said."

Xu Ying didn't say anything after hearing the words, since Duan Que said it, there must be Duan Que's reason for judgment.

The group simply rested in place for a while.

"Has Building B been cleaned by you? It looks like the situation is much better than I thought." Lin Qian said.

Zhang Hongfei nodded: "We went directly to BSL-4. When we first entered Building B, there were not many infected people. After we cleaned it up, we found a group of surviving research institute personnel."

"I asked a few men in the team to escort them away first, but I didn't expect that on the way back, they encountered another infected person, the one I mentioned later." Zhang Hongfei took a light breath, looked at Lin Qianhe Duan Yi, "Our attack has no effect on that infected person. It knows how to protect its fatal parts and is very cunning."

"It's useless to shoot and snipe?" Lin Qian asked in disbelief.

"It's useless, there seems to be a magnetic field around him, and even bullets can't pass through." Zhang Hongfei gritted his teeth, "We tried to get close, and one of my subordinates just got close to him. After a while, his skin seemed to have a rash The whole arm was dyed red, and the fundus of the eyes and ears were bleeding out for no reason."

"We pulled him back pretty quickly, but it didn't take him long to keep going."

Lin Qian and Xu Ying's expressions turned serious. No wonder Zhang Hongfei's team was so embarrassed by an infected person.

"We tried to lead it into the attack range of the two electric poles, but the infected person was very smart and seemed to know the purpose of the two steel poles, so he didn't fall into our trap at all." Zhang Hongfei continued.

Cheng Sheng heard the words and said slowly: "Combined with the situation you said, there may be a similar situation of local simulation void around the infected person."

"The reaction after your subordinates approached him was because the microbubbles in the blood vessels expanded due to the absence of external pressure, and because of the expansion of the bubbles, they blocked the blood vessels and prevented the blood from flowing, so you will see that the arms are slowly changing. Red." Cheng Sheng said thoughtfully.

He added: "The blood vessels are elastic, as are the muscles on the outside, so it doesn't have some of the exaggerated bursting that you see in movies."

"In addition, you said that the bleeding around his eyes and ears is also due to pressure problems. Because of the lack of external pressure, internal pressure expansion is inevitable, which will lead to bleeding in places with mucous membranes and capillaries." Cheng Sheng spoke very quickly. Quick, "But the vacuum...why is there such a thing around him?"

Cheng Sheng has heard of, and even seen, many unheard-of anecdotes and strange things in the world.

At least what he has seen can be answered by science, and anecdotal weirdos who can answer it mean that there is always a reason for formation and a channel for cracking—even if some conditions are so strict that no one may be able to achieve them in a lifetime , but at least that's a crack channel.

But the strange situation on the infected person right now made him feel helpless.

However, just like Cheng Sheng couldn't explain the strange fire that happened to him, this feeling of helplessness was not the first time.

"If it's a vacuum... Does that mean that the doctor's fire can't burn? It can't burn without air, right?" Lin Qian lowered his voice and asked at a volume that only a few of them could hear.

Cheng Sheng paused, maybe?

But his fire came out of nowhere, and even he didn't know what the igniting factor of the fire was, it was more like a part of his body.

Lin Qian murmured, "What a troublesome infected person..."

Zhang Hongfei quickly shook out the troubles they encountered along the way like beans.

Including the big centipede, when it was chasing them, it suddenly found a new target and rushed to the glass corridor, giving Zhang Hongfei and the others time to get their weapons.

"To be honest, you are really lucky to be surrounded by fog in the corridor and not see what's going on outside." Zhang Hongfei said after taking a sip of water.

Lin Qian twitched the corner of his mouth: "Lucky?"

You don't know the fear of being wrapped in the unknown!

Lin Qian felt distressed in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, he heard Zhang Hongfei continue to say: "When we rushed over from outside the building, we saw that big centipede rolled up its torso and wrapped it on the corridor, with hundreds of feet. Scalp numb."

Lin Qian and Xu Ying thought about the scene, and it was indeed shocking.

He whispered to Xu Ying: "If it were a few recruits from Lu Qin's team, they would lose their mentality to that big centipede."

Xu Ying: "..."

Their tea party came to an end temporarily.

Zhang Hongfei checked the time and rested for more than half an hour, and it was almost time.

"We went directly to the BSL-4 on the fifth floor to confirm that there will be no leaks in the laboratory." Zhang Hongfei said, "We have been there a few times before, but we have not been able to get close to the laboratory. The infected person has been on the BSL-100 floor and Prowl downstairs, and once we get close to the lab, the infected will appear."

"Does this mean that we will have a direct confrontation with that infected person?" Du Nanrong asked.

Zhang Hongfei nodded.

"Regardless of whether we will meet each other on another floor or not, our primary goal is to reach BSL-4 on the fifth floor. If the opponent appears, we will try our best to delay Dr. Cheng Sheng until you confirm that BSL-4 is completely blocked. No There is a virus leak threat."

Cheng Sheng replied, "It only takes 5 minutes."

"That's enough." Zhang Hongfei smiled heartily.

Cheng Sheng nodded.

In fact, it is not a big trouble to confirm the safety of BSL-4. The biggest trouble is the infected people and some potentially infected organisms here.

If these are not eliminated, the crisis threat of BSL-4 will never be 100% eliminated.

But at the moment, there is no need to tell Zhang Hongfei about this—to complete a small goal first, one goal at a time.

Zhang Jiuzhang glanced at Du Nanrong: "If you are afraid, hide away."

Du Nanrong glanced at him and ignored him, he was just making mental preparations.

He patted Du Jingshu on the shoulder, and said in a loud voice, "Don't be afraid, Dad will protect you."

Du Jingshu nodded, and then looked at Xu Ying: "Sister Ying, when this is over, when you are free, can you teach me how to defend myself? I can't always rely on my dad."

"Okay." Xu Ying nodded in response.

Du Nanrong looked at his daughter with pride and comfort, but at the same time was a little bit disappointed.

When he passed by the fire ax that was pressed by the exit of the corridor, he smashed the glass and took out one for Du Jingshu's self-defense.

Du Jingshu held it with both hands, tried to wave it twice, and then held it tightly.

Building B had already been cleaned by Zhang Hongfei's team. They quickly went up to the fourth floor. At the end of the corridor on the fourth floor, they saw slowly moving infected people entering and leaving several offices.

Zhang Hongfei and the others held their breath subconsciously. They didn't move up to the fifth floor until the infected person entered an office.

Cheng Sheng saw the infected person's face clearly.

He took a deep breath and said to Zhang Hongfei: "That is our dean. No wonder the steel pole grid trap you wanted to set for it didn't work. The dean was a participant in the development and research of this weapon."

Zhang Hongfei: "..."

No wonder it is extraordinarily smart?

The fourth floor is the dean's office, no wonder the old dean has been wandering on the fourth floor.

Cheng Sheng squinted his eyes and thought, the behavior pattern of the old dean has repeated in memory, does it mean that he still has some self-awareness left?

While pondering, Cheng Sheng and the others quickly moved in the direction of BSL-4.

When he passed one of the isolated observation rooms, he stopped abruptly.

The isolated observation rooms set up near BSL-4 are all set up for the researchers who enter the laboratory - in case there are holes in their isolation suits, or other unexpected situations, the isolation period depends on what they have come into contact with It depends on the virus.

For the disinfection and cleaning of such an isolated room, usually in the last step, all the air is evacuated through the exhaust fan above the head, so that the entire space enters a vacuum and sterile state.

Cheng Sheng saw the names of the old dean and the previous psychologist on the outer labels of these isolated rooms.

He stretched out his arms and pulled out the writing board two rooms outside, on which he recorded the observation diary.

"Duan Yi, you push me, I want to see what's on it." Cheng Sheng said quickly.

Duan Yi responded, pushed Cheng Sheng and continued to move forward, following Zhang Hongfei and the others.

Cheng Sheng quickly browsed through ten lines at a glance.

The psychologist’s condition became abnormal within ten hours after he entered the isolation ward. Two days later, he was confirmed as an infected person. The record board said that he had contacted the military department and the isolation room had been thoroughly cleaned.

The condition of the old dean dragged on for a little longer.

The old dean did not show that he had completely become an infected person from the abnormality until the last written record, but only recorded the changes in his body that appeared every day.

——Thinking is gradually confused, from the normal communication at the beginning, to the end, only a few words can be vaguely popped out...

However, on the record board, the step of cleaning the isolation room was never recorded.

However, when Cheng Sheng saw the situation in the isolation room of the old dean, it was a mess.

The writing paper inside was all rolled up to the air vent, half rolled inside and half exposed outside.

Cheng Sheng pursed his lips tightly, and had to guess whether the old dean was still locked in the isolation room when the air was evacuated and turned into a vacuum sterilized state.

"What's wrong?" Duan Yi asked in a low voice.

Before Cheng Sheng could speak, he heard Zhang Jiuzhang's soft warning from behind: "He's coming!"
