death of hope

Chapter 227 "Corporate Warrior" (143) Dangerous Knowledge
"Stop! Treat the wounded right here!" the captain ordered.

"Sister Sig! Pass me the tourniquet!"

Wang Hongye hugged her boyfriend Lodayev and pressed his wound with all her strength.
Blood gushed out from between her fingers, and it didn't look too bad. She turned her face and stared viciously at the sniper who had been knocked unconscious.

"Big beard! What a bastard you are! Why are you shooting at your teammates! He didn't offend you!"

"I'm sorry... big sister! It's all my fault! The captain warned me to keep an eye on the beard... I was distracted..."

Sigdrifa is about to collapse,

There was a blind urge inside her to pull out her automatic pistol and blow her head off to atone.

"Enough! Stop blaming yourself!"

Captain Marcus Lynch spoke as if coaxing a child. He roughly tore off the sniper's tactical vest and shouted:
"Miss Seeger! Help me! Take off the bearded man's combat uniform! I have to figure out what's going on with him!"

"Good... good!"

The two unbuttoned the zipper together, exposing their furry and strong chest, and then turned the sniper over with their strength.

"This is!"

Shaft exclaimed in shock: "The soft worms appeared in the ventilation duct before!"

A disgusting creature resembling a large slug was attached to the middle of the back of the sniper Mehmadi.
The slimy body contracted rhythmically, like something in a horror movie.

The team members all looked disgusted and retreated instinctively,

Lynch pulled out his dagger expressionlessly. He has been in the army for more than ten years. He has seen many such scenes;

"The door-breaker...Miss Siegdrifa."

"what?"

"If you fail to save him, I will be controlled too. Please, kill me and lead the team for me." He said coldly. "Can you?"

"Captain, I... I will do it!"

"Thank you, please."

At this moment, Sigurdriefa had mixed feelings in her heart. She was both fearful and doubtful, but also ecstatic that she was trusted.

In order to operate accurately and not cut the sniper, Lynch took off his tactical gloves,

Holding the sticky worm's body with bare hands, he tried hard to pull it out, only to find that its head covered with fine barbed teeth was firmly attached to the skin near the spine.

"It turns out that this worm controls the brain by connecting the nerve bundles with spiritual energy. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise we would have killed each other."

As he spoke, Lynch cut off the worm's head with a knife, threw the worm's body heavily to the ground, and crushed it into a meat paste with his boots. At this time, the worm's head attached to the spine also fell off, and gradually withered, turned gray, and blackened. Finally withered and died.

Seeing that the captain was not controlled by the alien, Sigurdriefa breathed a sigh of relief, aimed at Lynch's neck, and gradually lowered it.

Lynch took out a small blue bottle from his tactical bag,
This is a wake-up agent made of high-concentration menthol. Unscrew the cap, stuff it into the nostril of the sniper, squeeze it, and release it.

"Ah! Ahh!"

The stunned sniper Mehmadi woke up suddenly, sneezed, opened his eyes, and looked around in confusion:

"What happened? I... I had a dream, a strange dream... My kid wet his pants during church!"

"The mutated worm was attached to your spine, you were controlled, and you shot Lodayev."

"How! Good Lord! I swear... I don't know!"

"Okay, it's all over, we have passed this level." Lynch looked in the direction of the wounded,

Lodayev's abdomen has been bandaged,
The polymer material armor absorbed most of the kinetic energy of the bullet. Through the observation of the portable scanner, the bullet stayed between the intestinal tract and the fat layer and did not damage the organs. Wang Hongye helped him to stop the bleeding and disinfect it temporarily for treatment.

"There's no need to apologize, Beard." The Grenadier endured the pain and stood up: "I'm fine."

"Go back and get the bullet for you." Lynch patted him on the shoulder: "Can you still hold on?"

"Don't worry, boss, we are tough guys."

Lodayev glanced at the worms that had been crushed to a pulp on the ground: "Boss, why don't you collect this sample? It doesn't look like an XB32 variant, but something else."

"That's exactly what worries me."

Lynch frowned, looking thoughtful. A few seconds later, he stomped his feet lightly, as if he had made a decision:
"Alpha Tactical Team, exit the public communication channel and turn off the recorder."

"Captain, what are you worried about?"

"I have decided to give up part of the mission and destroy all the samples and data we have obtained. Of course, we must hide it from the company's senior management."

"What... what?"

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.

"I... don't quite understand." Mehmadi scratched his head and said, "Now you don't have to worry about the countdown to self-destruction, so why give up? Wasn't your work in vain?"

"Bearded, you country bumpkin fool! You still don't understand!

Boss is thinking of us...for the sake of all mankind! "

This time, even Shaft the hacker stopped joking and became serious, casting admiring glances at Lynch.

Seeing that everyone turned off the communicator and the recorder, Lynch said: "You have all seen, the Orassis, not only the XB32 variant, but also other more terrifying research.

For example, the microorganisms that took over Fat Joe's body, and the worms that controlled Lodayev, and God knows how many other horrible things. "

Lynch said worriedly: "Like the ancient black witchcraft, it is regarded as an absolutely taboo research. These crazy scientists have no regard for the consequences."

Shaft was quick-witted and understood, and helped him continue:

"Boss is afraid that these things will be misused in corporate conflicts. By then, the entire Terra Federation will be a purgatory on earth.
We are like Van Helsing, the vampire hunters sent by the church. The vampires must not be released from the castle. "

"That's right, it's not safe to destroy samples and data, but to destroy the entire ship,

Before we leave, we check each other out,
If any one of us is infected, it should be eliminated mercilessly to avoid future troubles, including myself, of course. "

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but shudder, and were impressed by Lynch's coldness, responsibility, sense of responsibility and decisiveness.

"Hacker, your technology is much better than Fat Joe, right?"

Shaft loved to hear this, and said, patting his chest, "Of course, I'm a hacker wanted by all 75 colonies in the federation! There are countless zeros behind the bounty!"

"Can you, turn on the self-destruct system of the spacecraft, this time it's going to be real."

"It's a piece of cake!" said the hacker; "I have completely cracked the operating system and obtained the highest administrator privileges."

"Very well, since there is no objection, let's start."

Lynch took off the large-capacity backpack and threw the plastic bag containing the mutant specimens on the ground:
"Listen well, members of the Alpha team, if we want to unify our caliber, we will be able to hide the truth, explain to the investigators like this,

Sir, during the mission, we were threatened with our lives, so we had no choice but to give up collecting samples. We could only hastily destroy the Olasses and then retreat, so as not to have long nights and dreams, and the research results fall into the pockets of competitors. The company's senior management will understand. "

"The boss is quite professional in lying." Shaft laughed.

"Not as professional as you, kid." Lynch borrowed the big hammer of the goalkeeper:
"Now, take out the package containing the hard drive, and smash this dangerous knowledge to pieces! We must not let it harm the world!"
