I glanced at the route display map inside the aircraft cabin, and realized that we were already quite close to the base of the First Group. Gerald estimated that he was still more or less affected by that metal box.

But just when I was trying to stop the aircraft temporarily and not drive too fast, Gerald suddenly took a breath, and the two hands holding my arms relaxed, and after a while, the breathing returned to normal.

I let him lean on me, frowned and looked at his current complexion. It is indeed not as pale as before in the ruins of the city, and there is no abnormal phenomenon around the eye sockets. It seems that the consciousness is worse than last time. Much more sober.

"Are you all right?" Niyo asked before I could speak.Although this guy is usually not very serious, but the characteristic of being extremely concerned about anyone around him is very flattering. When he looked at Gerald, he didn't hide the worry on his face at all.

I covered the side of Gerald's neck with my palm, felt the activity of his arteries and the temperature of his skin, nodded, and replied for him: "It should be no problem. Last time when he was in the ruins of the city, his face was more complex than it is now." It's much uglier, and it's not just about breathing."

After I finished speaking, Gerald sat up straight again, but still left one hand to hold my arm, raised the other hand and rubbed his forehead, and then followed his current Looking out of the window, "It's not uncomfortable...but I can feel the distance between that iron box and me."

"How does it feel?"

He pondered for a while, before saying, "It's like, I can see outside now, and know the distance between me and the ground."

The situation he mentioned can actually be explained by science—if the metal box really emits some kind of electric wave, and this electric wave can have a direct impact on the brain of a person infected with a vicious virus.

"Why is it a bit like putting a layer of gauze on his brain and then showing slides?" Niyo asked while taking out the terminal to record what he said, "I don't know much about human science in this area. I understand, so although I have heard that radio waves can affect the human brain to a certain extent, what does this have to do with the HLM virus?"

"I want to know too." I answered him, and at the same time, I was thinking about some of the information that my father described to me by chance when I was in that special research team, and I just felt like connecting all these tiny clues. After waking up, everything seemed to make sense.

However, this is indeed not the time to think about these issues. With the help of the lights in the cabin, I carefully observed Gerald's facial condition again, and then I was relieved for the time being, and said, "If you don't feel any discomfort yourself, Let's go back to the base first, absolutely don't force ourselves, you know?"

After seeing him nodding his head meekly, I followed the direction of his gaze and looked out the window with him.

As it is about to land, the aircraft has started to keep flying at a not-too-high position in mid-air. At this height, we can gradually see the scene on the ground clearly.Even though it was still some distance away from the base, it was already possible to vaguely see some solitary infected people approaching the base from all directions.Their speed is very fast. Although they can't compare with the speed of the aircraft, they can no longer clearly see their movements with the naked eye.

This also reminds me of the two fights between Gerald and other vicious virus-infected people when I was in the Northern Research Institute, and it was also so fast that I couldn't see what they were doing.

These infected people running on the ground mixed and rushed forward in the night. Although the distribution was quite scattered, the number of these infected people on the periphery alone was already quite astonishing, not to mention the area closest to the base.

The glass windows of the aircraft are designed to be inclined, which is also convenient for us to look around.We can already see some bright lights in the area right in front of us. Although the vicious virus-infected people prefer dark places, after being affected by the iron box, it is estimated that these lights have become the targets they can directly lock on.

Gerald leaned his forehead gently against the glass window, looked at the running infected people below like me, and asked softly, "If I hadn't been caught by Jiali Miweier, I would have changed now. Be like them?"

"Not necessarily." I shook my head and said, "Do you still remember the infected person with special behavior that we met in the ruined area? Now that it has been confirmed that the HLM virus is indeed man-made, it is not ruled out that the creator is in the ruins." A few special cases will be selected among these infected people, and these special cases are not necessarily affected by the possibility of the iron box. However, there are some differences in the reactions between you and that special infected person, and it is not clear whether it is because of the distance reason."

Gerald nodded slowly and said nothing more.He's actually asked me similar questions before, like why he's special, or what it would be like if he wasn't special.But from my point of view, the HLM virus outbreak is an irreversible fact. None of us can change the past, so these assumptions also become meaningless. He has indeed returned to normal now, which is the most important thing conclusion.

When the aircraft arrived within the detection range of the base, I squinted slightly and could see the groups of infected people surrounding the base.The surrounding walls of the base are quite high, and the materials used are also extremely smooth. It is basically impossible for the infected to climb over the towering walls, not to mention that there is a layer of the strongest protective cover that covers the entire base.

The pilot sitting in the cockpit turned his back to us and made a gesture, and then drove the aircraft through the protective cover from the entrance passage above the base and drove in. After being disinfected in the sterile passage, it came to a complete stop At the designated parking place.We stepped off the aircraft immediately, and although we knew that Jiali Miweier must have received the news, we still took the initiative to dial the communication.

After the communication connection was successful, Jiali Miweier's tone was still quite urgent, but it was no longer as heavy as before, "Have you arrived? I'm in the headquarters building, and I asked Niyo to go to the isolation area first. The infected person Something is not quite right with the latter, and Conordo has passed."

I was also a little worried about the current situation of the infected person, so I said: "I can't help much with the base defense arrangement, so let's go to the quarantine area with him first, and confirm the situation over there." I will rush to your side after the situation. How is the iron box now?"

"The scientific and technological information specialists of the second brigade are trying to take measures, but if we want to completely block the signal from that iron box, it will definitely take a long time. During this time, we will try our best to stop the infected people outside. Attack." Jiali Miweier said, "You are the last aircraft that can enter the interior of the base, and the flying troops will take off soon to block the infected from the outer periphery. You don't need to worry about it for the time being. So now you go first Just take care of the situation of the infected person, the possibility of the virus spreading on him is too great, and he must not be allowed to come out of the isolation room."

"okay, I get it."

When I hung up the communication, Niyo had already driven a car from the side, and after Gerald and I sat in the back seat, he asked, "What did Carrie Miville say?"

"Go to the isolation area first, and go faster." I said as I turned around and opened the locker at the rear of the car, took out two PD-194s from inside, and found a box of narcotic ammunition to load into it. "The infected people on the outskirts, Jiali Miweier and the captain of the second brigade will find a way to solve it. What we need to pay attention to most now is the guy in the isolation area. If even that guy can't be stopped, the entire base will be destroyed by him. One destroys directly from within."

"It's like putting a bomb in the base." Niyo couldn't help sighing, and said, "Although I haven't seen him yet, I can tell from your description that he is now How bad is the state of my life... It must be quite uncomfortable, the feeling of knowing that my memory and thinking are slowly dissipating but completely powerless."

"From the perspective of brain activity, he should not know that his consciousness is gradually weakening," I told him, "The only thing that can really stay in his mind until the last moment is knowing that he is infected. The fear and despair of the moment of the virus."

"... Is it impossible to treat it at all?"

"Until we find a way to deal with the malignant HLM virus and C-V27, there is almost no possibility of any treatment." I also felt sad for the infected person, and sighed, "Although we have now mastered the C-V27 Active characteristics, maybe we can target this substance to find a way to resist the spread of the HLM virus. But any experiment and research will take time. Even if we finally find the antibody, he will probably lose all his thinking ability by then gone."

"I once dreamed that one day in the future, I could write a complete report on witnessing the gradual defeat of the HLM virus, so that everyone can feel the joy of hope and rebirth." Niyo held the steering wheel Although the hand is still steady, the emotion in the tone is obviously depressed, "But this day is really too far away, we have worked hard for so many years, and finally saw such a small possibility."

"It won't be too far." I said, "The beginning is always the hardest, and this step, we have gradually crossed the past."
