The Legend of Biochemical Doomsday

Chapter 93 History of the Airway

Ye Zhiqiu's situation was a bit embarrassing, but at least he was safe.While struggling to pull down the gray net on his head, he endured the strong coughing feeling in his throat.Although the ventilation duct is a bit narrower, at least it cannot be drilled through, but the dust is too big, and I don't know how long it has been cleaned, so it is not afraid that the central air conditioner will be blocked?

The reports of the pathfinding soldiers continued to come from the earplugs. The underground space here is indeed large enough, with many branches.There are no more soldiers following behind him now, and they are all scattered in various forks of the air passage.Ye Zhiqiu had already explored several exits, but he could see through the gaps in the blinds that they were not places like the central control room he was looking for. Instead, he found a few rooms that looked like wards, but at this time The entire underground space has been cut off, and the emergency lights are rather dim, making it difficult to see the furnishings inside.

After climbing for a while, he was surprised to find that there was no road ahead, and the end of the air passage was an upright passage.He stood up slowly, and looked up with the flashlight, but he couldn't see the corner. It seemed that the passage was not short.It is impossible to climb up this kind of vertical passage, and the smooth walls can't support it. At the same time, he doesn't really believe that the control room will be on the top. The training of the important room in the building, but also a lot of practical experience.So he cursed in his stomach and was about to turn back when he heard a faint gunshot.

It sounded like the sound of a [-]mm caliber pistol, but the sound was too weak, and Ye Zhiqiu couldn't be sure. He listened carefully, and the echo caused by the gunshot in the air duct gradually subsided, and there was no more sound.He called softly through the communicator: "Who shot?"

No one answered, and after a while, someone said, "I didn't hear it."

"Report your location." Carlos' voice came out immediately. If Ye Zhiqiu heard something but the other soldiers didn't, it could only mean that the source of the sound was closer to Ye Zhiqiu.In fact, the air passages here are all the same thickness, and there is no distinction between primary and secondary, so Ye Zhiqiu has been turning to one side, and now it should be located at the edge of one side of the entire underground building.

Ye Zhiqiu didn't wait for Carlos to get the result, so he turned around and crawled backwards. With this shaft here, it's easier to turn around. Otherwise, if he turned around in the air duct, he might be killed.

The principle of Carlos' method is correct, but its applicability is not strong. Although his soldiers are not completely lost, basically they can't be expected to accurately judge their position. They can only give some approximate values. These values ​​are often very inaccurate. If calculated according to this, two soldiers must be stacked together now.

Ye Zhiqiu crawled quickly in the passage, turning according to the vague judgment in his heart.Due to the lack of manpower, the last few forks he passed had not yet been explored, so he was left to run around.

Soon, there was no passage ahead again, but the light reflected from the outside fully explained one thing, there was an exit.

Ye Zhiqiu quickly climbed to the window and saw through the gaps in the leaves that it should be an office. The light in the room is very bright, which cannot be compared with the emergency lights in other rooms.The angle he can see from him is limited, and he can't see anything special in the room. Ye Zhiqiu slightly tilted his head, and the sound of soldiers crawling continuously came from the air duct behind him, loud and loud. It was small, and there were constant noises, but in the gaps between these sounds, he could hear heavy breathing in the room.After hesitating for a while, he stretched out his hand and 'fumbled' along the edge of the blinds. He was not worried that the people in the room would find him. This kind of blinds can't even be blown up by a grenade, and the bullets would naturally 'shoot' No, if someone wants to shoot at him along the gap between the blinds, he needs a very small angle. If he really wants to do this, Ye Zhiqiu has full speed to kill this idiot before him.

As expected, this window is the same as the one in the hall, fixed with eight bolts. Ye Zhiqiu had already prepared for it. Although he didn't have a wrench, he found a multifunctional saber underneath. , how can it be better than turning the screws by hand.It seems that when the Americans built this place, they really spared no expense, and the materials used for the solid parts are very good.This ventilation device has been used for many years, and the bolts are not rusted, so it is easier to remove them.In addition, during the installation, the staff did not expect it to play the role of the anti-theft net, so during the installation, according to the process flow, all electric tools were used, and it stopped after reaching the set torque. High, so Ye Zhiqiu did not take much effort to remove six of them, and there was no way to twist the other two. His multifunctional saber must not be a wrench. There is no good way.

When Ye Zhiqiu was struggling with the bolts, he suddenly heard the door of the room slamming, and someone walked in. Ye Zhiqiu's heart moved, and the movement of his hands stopped, and then he heard a familiar voice saying: "I want to I'm leaving here, don't you want to say something?"

"What are you talking about? Goodbye?" the people in the room said, Ye Zhiqiu was more familiar with this voice, it turned out that the two people in the room are acquaintances now, the one who just came in was Marcus, and the person inside was pretending to be Dao Yin that person.

"Dao Yin" seemed very weak, panting and said: "This place has been destroyed, where can you go?"

"There are many places, after all, the world is so big." Marcus said with a smile: "Actually, if you don't come, I will give up this place. Power supply, but still not enough for me to conduct further research."

"Energy." "Dawin" laughed softly: "This is a global problem. Originally, the United States is the least lacking in energy. There are abundant oil and natural gas in its soil. It is a pity that the American 'governments' of all generations I have always been committed to the development of foreign energy, and I want to save domestic energy until the end. As a result, in the current situation, there is no underground energy, but there is no ability to mine it. To be honest, if the reserve energy here is exhausted , I don't think you can find another source of sufficient energy in the United States."

Marcus laughed: "Yes, I guess you must have a strong academic background, it is very suitable for you to do this job, but unfortunately you people don't understand that if the order collapses, then you can only rely on your own strength, You are too weak in this regard." He paused, and then said: "You are well aware of the Achilles heel of modern technology, which relies too much on energy and machinery, which is why I consumed the energy reserves here so quickly. , but you have to know that to consume this energy so quickly, you need someone like me. I don't think there are still a few people in the United States who are capable of 'operating' a large laboratory, so there must be another place , the energy consumption there is still at a low level, believe me, I have more than enough time to find them."

"Daoyin" was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed, it sounded like he was laughing happily, Marcus quietly waited for him to finish laughing, and then slowly said: "Can you tell me something funny you thought of? "

"You have always said that you are the beginning of a new human being, so why do you need a large laboratory?" "Daoyin" said happily: "And don't you feel that you talk too much? Your heart is full of doubts, what do you say Your evolution is not as perfect as you said, you must still need to improve, but you don’t know how to do it, so you talk more and do less. Tell me, what aspects make you uneasy? Where did it go wrong?"

After a while, Marcus said coldly: "Of course the evolution of genes will not be smooth sailing, but believe me, I have chosen the right direction. As long as I keep going, everything will become suitable." His voice After a pause, Ye Zhiqiu suddenly saw Marcus' body through the gap in the blinds. He actually walked under the vent, but still couldn't see his face.Just looking at the appearance of his body, he should have been injured. Ye Zhiqiu judged from the shape of the blood on his clothes that he had suffered a gunshot wound. Thinking of the gunshot just now, it was probably a masterpiece of "Dao Yin", but It seems that "Dawin" is no match for Marcus with a gun.

Marcus looked up at the vents that were constantly making various noises, and scolded angrily: "What are those guys doing here?"

"Maybe they don't want to wait for death in peace." "Daoyin" said with a smile: "You have activated the anti-invasion mechanism, and if they can't get out, they will naturally find a way out. This is an instinct that even lower creatures have. You can't understand."

Marcus lowered his head, seemed to be looking at "Dawin", and said softly: "You are right, I have talked a lot, but I am still hesitating, should I leave immediately, or see if you will become What does it look like?" He sighed regretfully, "Although I'm curious, I've seen the cases many times, and I'm 90.00% sure of what you'll look like."

"How do you know I'm not that one percent genius? Just wait four hours."

"No." Marcus laughed softly, and he said: "Four hours can only tell whether you have turned into a zombie or a corpse. In fact, it is no different. If you want to become like me, you need more It takes time for the body's immune function to adapt to the transformation of these outsiders, provided that it is not destroyed in the process."

"Dao Yin" smiled slightly: "I can wait."

"I don't want to wait anymore." There was another sound of scraping metal in the air duct, and Marcus said irritably, "Go to hell."

At this moment, there was a loud booming sound from the wall above his head. Marcus looked up in surprise, just in time to see the blinds of the ventilation opening half lifted, he was startled, and immediately thought Someone inside quickly drew a pistol and pointed it at the half window.

Ye Zhiqiu in the air duct also cursed in his heart. He couldn't remove the bolts, so he simply turned around and kicked with his feet, but the blinds were installed stronger than he estimated, and he couldn't push them open with one foot. He sucked Taking a breath, he kicked out again without hesitation.
