nonexistent experiment

Chapter 18 The Eye of Darkness (Part [-])
When the system time was 102 days, a major turning point occurred in the development of Epidemic M.The BDV-021-6A reagent jointly developed by the Huaxia team and the American team led by Harris Eddy produced an immune response on 82% of the cells.

In a recent meeting of the global federation on the development of vaccines, all experts from various countries agreed that this reagent is worthy of further development, and the focus and manpower of the next stage will be concentrated on BDV-021-6A. The L group reorganized the group planning for this reagent to speed up the development and improvement of the reagent.

With the turning point, everyone's confidence was rekindled, and Yu Yunlong's tense nerves were slightly relaxed.

These days, he has talked and laughed with everyone on the surface to relax everyone's emotions, but in fact he is under more and more pressure.Every time he reports to the Global Federation, it is always difficult for him to come up with a good report card. Although the Global Federation does not put any pressure on him, this invisible self-blame makes it difficult for him to respite.

And Sun Sijie has been paying attention to a system problem these days. He discovered more than once more than ten days ago that the leaves of sycamore trees have fallen in various urban forests in the system. "It happened in the system for 3 consecutive days.

At first, no one noticed this matter. After all, everyone's energy was devoted to the research and development of the vaccine.However, the primitive life self-monitoring system issued a system-level early warning on the second day after the incident. The reason is that many g-L bodies in the system have found leaves falling, which is an unusual reaction phenomenon of g-L bodies. They will all be screened out by the system and recorded. When such anomalies accumulate to a certain amount, an early warning message will be automatically generated.

Of course, there are a lot of warning messages like this every day, and everyone didn't pay much attention to them. It wasn't until the third day, when Sun Sijie saw the daily system log, that he noticed the warning.

In fact, the level of this warning is not high, but the crux of the problem is that the falling of the leaves itself is too unusual. After extensive investigation, a reasonable explanation has never been found.

In order to ensure the normal operation of the system, they erased the memory of the KL body who saw this phenomenon in the same way as usual for such incidents, so as to avoid large-scale transmission in the system and affect the normal system Order, this method of amnestic elimination will not affect the KL body itself in most cases.

Sun Sijie and his team fundamentally analyzed the possible causes of the problem. The energy required by the trees in the forest is controlled and distributed by nano-energy cells. Theoretically, the falling of leaves is due to the failure of nano-energy cells to complete the specified The task was caused by an error, but for trillions of nanometer cells, it is almost impossible to drain every energy cell.

Sun Sijie and his team could only focus on the control system of the nanocells, but after a few days of analysis, no systemic loopholes or errors were found.This also made everyone a little bit at a loss. Fortunately, this phenomenon only happened for 3 days, and no such thing happened again after that. Everyone felt that this might be just an accidental incident. Therefore, after the team's After discussion, it was decided to put this matter on hold for the time being and to focus on the experiment itself.Sun Sijie did not refute the team's decision. Indeed, as everyone said, the current top priority is to ensure the stability of the system in the development of the epidemic.

In fact, as far as Sun Sijie is concerned, the occurrence of the problem is not terrible. What is terrible is that the cause of the problem cannot be found out after the problem occurs, and he disappeared inexplicably.He vaguely felt that this matter was not that simple, and that there might be great hidden dangers, but due to the current special situation, he could only find a way to find out the whole story by himself.

It is precisely because of this that Sun Sijie seldom cares about his own body these days, whether it is in the "primitive life" system or in the "marginal world".And when he thought of "I" again, he found that his KL body was already in love.

In the "Unbounded" 212817 scene in the real world, seven warriors dressed in the costumes of soldiers from the ancient kingdom of God are sitting in a circle on the beach outside Trojan Horse City.Among them was a pile of bonfires with no open flames. At this moment, only dark red charcoal wood flickered from time to time with the sea breeze, leaving short traces of charcoal ash flying in the humid air.Whenever the sea breeze blows, the residual charcoal glows red as if reborn, briefly illuminating the mysterious people.

Each of them wore a heavy bronze helmet, and their faces were also covered by protective gear, leaving only a pair of eyes appearing and disappearing by the flickering bonfire, revealing a bit of weirdness.

"We'd better have less parties!" said one of them.

"Number 4, don't I know the risks? If there is no change there, there is no need to call everyone out in such a hurry." Number 4 is the code name of that person, and the person speaking seems to be the leader of the 7 people Man, with his back to the sea, his hands on his knees.

Except for No. 3, everyone looked at him with a puzzled and surprised expression. "What change?" one asked.

The leader looked heavy, pondered for a while and said: "The research and development of the vaccine has taken a turn for the better. They have found an vaccine reagent that can produce an immune response, and they have entered the stage of comprehensive testing and improvement of the vaccine reagent!" He said. Pausing for a while, he continued with a little thought: "It is nearly 50 days earlier than our original estimated experiment progress time, so our original plan has to be implemented ahead of schedule."

They have discussed the previous plan countless times, and after repeatedly confirming the feasibility, everyone finally started to implement it. Everyone knows what will happen to everyone if the plan fails or deviates midway.Now that the plan is suddenly advanced, this not only may increase the risk of the plan and the possibility of exposure, but also there is no extra time for them to make detailed arrangements and further tests.

Everyone was silent, not knowing what to do next.

The previous No. 4 broke the deadlock first. He tentatively looked at the odd man and said, "No. 1. If you have any ideas, just say it directly. We will do what you say."

Sure enough, the person who seemed to be the leader was their organizer, and his code name was No. 1.He didn't speak, and remained silent.

"I think it's okay to forget it. I haven't had a good night's sleep for several days. Now our plan has not been officially implemented, and only one test has been carried out in the system. If we want to Stop, now they can't find us, why not take this opportunity and simply stop." The other person followed No. 1's words, his voice was a little trembling, and he seemed to have no confidence.

No one answered, a gust of sea breeze blew by, and the charcoal made a crackling sound, instantly illuminating No. 1's mask and cold eyes.The person who spoke immediately looked away, not daring to look at No. 1.

"When I called everyone together, I still remember every word that everyone said clearly. On the 5th, you said at that time, 'I have nothing to be attached to, and there is nothing in this world. I am alone, he took everything from me, and I want him to have nothing and be hated by everyone!', I can still vividly remember the way you gritted your teeth at that time." He looked at No. 5, and then continued He said emotionally: "What? What about kids playing house? Play whenever you want, and leave if you don't want to? You take all of us to accompany you to relieve boredom!"

His voice is not loud, especially on this dark beach, accompanied by the sound of waves, but like the tall gate of the Trojan Horse City, there is no trace of noise, only bursts of depression .

He fixed his eyes on No. 5 who spoke just now. No. 5's hands had sunk deeply into the sand, tightly holding the wet and cold sand washed by the sea.Fear and the cry in his heart were mixed together. He knew that in the eyes of these people, he was just an inconspicuous little guy, insignificant. Now he only regrets that he joined such a team at the beginning, but he is not a cowardly person. He summoned up his courage and said: "Yes, I did say that at the time, but now they have turned around in such a short period of time, even God is helping them, I really want to take revenge on him, but I can't force it like this Ah! If the development of the epidemic M can really save everyone, then there will be more opportunities for revenge in the future. Isn't it? Besides, this is not my idea alone. Didn't you tell me on the 7th? ?”

The eyes of No. 5 looked at No. 7 who was in the corner. No. 7 became nervous all of a sudden, and quickly waved his hands to explain: "No. I was just joking with you, just kidding, you won't take it seriously, right? " He quickly looked at No. 1, but No. 1 didn't look at him, but still locked his eyes on No. 5. No. 7 continued: "No. 1, you know me, and I won't quit." Said the last sentence When speaking, No. 7 specially emphasized the last few words.

No. 1 still didn't look at No. 7, he sighed, and said with a look of disappointment: "Ah, actually, I've thought about the current situation a long time ago. You guys were summoned temporarily, although everyone had A common goal, but as time goes on, it is inevitable that there will be internal disharmony." He moved his eyes away from No. 5, scanned everyone around, and then continued: "Then take advantage of today's opportunity, we Just vote again, I don’t want our plan to fail because of the disunity of the group, which is unfair to everyone. If someone wants to withdraw from the plan like No. 5, it doesn’t matter, I respect everyone’s opinions .”

"It's not necessary, No. 1. No. 5 is just his personal idea. If he wants to quit, let him quit. The plan must be carried out, and I will not quit!" It was a female voice, speaking resolutely.

"Of course it is necessary. Since No. 5 has this idea, others may have similar thoughts. Can you guarantee that others have the same idea as you on No. 3?" No. 3 didn't make a sound, just sighed.

"Then let's vote now! Raise your hand if you want to withdraw now, and keep silent if you want to continue our plan." Number 1 said.

No. 5 raised his hand first, and then his eyes fixed on No. 7, with helplessness and more expectation in his eyes.

A few seconds later, among the 7 people, only No. 5 still raised his hand, and No. 7 buried his head deeply in his chest, not daring to look up at all.

"As I said, we are democratic, and I respect everyone's ideas. On the 5th, I also respect your wishes. We are destined to see you again, Harada-kun."

When No. 5 heard him call out his name, an inexplicable sense of fear spread all over his body, and he stepped back on the sand with his feet and hands at the same time.Another gust of sea breeze blew by, and Charcoal seemed to be making the final struggle, illuminating the surroundings with the last bit of energy, and everyone saw the eyes of No. 1, like an owl seeing prey in the dark, Under the light of the red charcoal wood, there was a ferocious look in his eyes.

No. 5 only felt a chill across his back, and before he could react in the next second, his body drifted away with the sea breeze like charcoal ash, but without a trace of brilliance, as the sea breeze dissipated, The charcoal ash scattered in the wind and disappeared together with No. 5.

No. 1 turned his head to No. 7, No. 7 opened his mouth wide, and he only felt a burst of warm liquid flowing out of his crotch involuntarily. "No. I didn't want to quit. I didn't raise my hand just now. I won't change my original decision." His voice was trembling all the time, and the fear was obvious.

Number 1 let out a creepy laugh and said, "Nothing, Number 7. Number 5 just went back to his reality, which was beautiful, without conflict, and he got what he wanted, We should be happy for him. You look really funny, we are all comrades, comrades should be united, trust each other, be honest with each other, so that everyone can feel at ease. You are our comrades, we You have to keep fighting, don't you?"

Number 1 spoke so calmly, but number 7 felt like he had fallen into an ice cave.

"Yes, yes" Seven kept repeating like crazy.

The last piece of charcoal was finally extinguished, and the darkness engulfed the beach in an instant, and there was a deathly silence outside the wooden horse city gate.
