Dimensional Alliance

All weapons, ammunition, supplies, and other materials for exploration are placed in easy-to-access locations by category. Each country has been arranged for a temporary resting position, and military personnel on patrol and unmanned turrets guard the road leading to the experiment. Every channel deep in the room, although the surrounding air is still filled with a faint smell of burnt protein, the meticulous surroundings are still enough to make the non-military personnel on the upper floor of the laboratory feel at ease.

These three experts were already the last few members of the first batch of exploration team. After the three of them had a short rest, the first batch of team members assembled in the center of the upper laboratory.

"I'm Huang Ke. I'm the team leader of this exploration mission, and I'm also the person in charge of security for this mission..." After everyone arrived, everyone introduced themselves briefly. The five permanent.. Ren.. Li.. Matter.. countries’ exploration teams were mainly composed of members of Ming Dynasty and New Britain. Although the countries did not conduct any discussions before the arrival of the personnel, they still wisely did not send any military personnel.

All the military personnel responsible for defending and opening the way in the team came from Ming Dynasty and New Britain, while the personnel sent by several other countries were mainly experts in biology and viruses.

This was a very simple and easy-to-understand gesture of favor. After all, without enough force to protect them, no matter what they finally found down there, they couldn't escape the fate of handing it over to Daming and New Britain first.

"Mr. Huang, what's the current situation inside?" Just after the team leader explained the precautions for the exploration, the New Britain pathology expert among the experts who arrived at the end couldn't help asking, "I'm here. On the way, I read the introduction and said that only a preliminary exploration of this laboratory has been carried out, and some not-so-good things have been discovered, what do not-so-good things refer to?"

"I remember your name is Sandro? Dr. Sandro, in fact, all we have found so far are some basic information about this laboratory, although these basic information are already very disturbing," because everyone present was wearing Heavy chemical protective clothing, so the voice sounded a little muffled, "According to the information we found, the floor we are on now is the living area of ​​the laboratory. If there is no problem with the information we have, then this floor should be It is on the second basement level of the entire laboratory, and above the living area, there is only one basement level disguised as a hospital morgue—yes, this laboratory was built under a hospital."

"I don't know exactly what this means, why is this information so disturbing?" Sandro continued.

"This means that this stage five is not out of control in the experimental area below," Huang Ke said here with a soft sigh, "considering that the experiment related to stage five can never be carried out in the living area, the laboratory It is absolutely impossible for those people to allow Phase [-] to leave its (It) experimental area, so we speculate that either he (He) briefly broke through the laboratory's blockade before becoming Phase [-] and attempted to escape from this experiment room, or someone deliberately took him from the experimental area... or snatched him out."

"And judging from some man-made gates and the traces of firefights on the walls, the latter is more likely."

"That is to say, the incomplete state when it appeared in stage five is likely to be caused by human beings?" Sandro couldn't help but looked around, and it was exactly as Huang Ke said, although the walls on this floor had already been destroyed. Under the burning of the napalm bomb, the original face cannot be seen, but there are still relatively clear bullet marks in some places, which made him raise his eyebrows, "Then should we thank those organizations that released it in advance?" , let us avoid the heavy casualties of directly facing the complete stage five?"

"Perhaps, but this is not the focus of our attention," Huang Ke was noncommittal to Sandro's teasing, pouted his lips slightly, and continued to explain, "The point is, if this stage five is really someone deliberately put him If it is brought out, it means that there are likely to be other research and security personnel surviving under the laboratory. If these people have not died because the external power supply of the laboratory was cut off by stage five, then our next actions In addition to intestinal animals, we may also face some less friendly enemies."

"I don't think those people can cause you much trouble. We have completely sealed off the surrounding area. At this time, the only possibility for them to survive is to voluntarily surrender and accept trial. I don't think these people still feel stubborn in this situation. .”

"Before this time, we never thought that someone would take the initiative to create stage five," Huang Ke said, exhaling lightly.

Huang Ke actually didn't want to spend too much time here with Sandro, but when accepting the task, his superiors repeatedly emphasized the need to "fully take care" of the emotions of the representative of New Britain, so Huang Ke could only be patient and support Sandro. Luo explained the dangers of this mission: "To be honest, I really can't find any other more accurate words to describe the people who participated in this experiment except 'crazy', and for the lunatics, everything is not common sense to them. Be applicable."

"Well, it's up to you," Sandro shrugged, and then continued, "And besides this news? What else do we know? Is there anything I can do?"

Sandro's behavior of asking many questions in the collective meeting before departure made him the focus of the exploration team, but because the questions he asked were all related to this exploration and part of what they could know, other people He just turned his gaze to Sandro, and no one complained.

"In addition to the floor we are on, there are seven floors below us. The only part that has been proven so far is the floor below us. Besides the safety door to the next floor has been artificially destroyed, There are security doors blocking the deeper places, and it is temporarily impossible to use unmanned units to conduct further investigations.

"From a functional point of view, the floor below us should be the monitoring and information center of the base. Most of the information we have obtained now comes from the electronic equipment and documents on this floor. With the help of Scottish experts, We restored the power supply on this level, but the restoration of power did not substantially help our exploration operations on this level, because we found that all the equipment in this level except for those personal equipment found earlier was locked remotely.

"After the evaluation of our technical experts, it is very difficult to crack the control systems of these devices without damaging the data. He suggested that we find the control center of this experimental base and try to unlock the surveillance devices through the control center. With the help of these surveillance devices, we will be able to know in advance how much danger there is below.

"And with the information in our hands, the control center of this laboratory is located on the third floor below us. If the control center is really as important as we think, and there are really humans alive in this base , then the most likely place to meet other survivors is also on the third floor.

"Of course, we can't completely rule out the possibility that the lower area has completely fallen. After all, according to the logs we found on the power system, after the Gastrea appeared, there was a 2-10 minute power outage in this base, although After that, the base has been switched to the backup point system inside the base, but we don't know if these few minutes will cause other...well...'experimental objects' in the base to lose control.

"Don't do it." When Huang Ke said this, Sandro, who had been concentrating on taking notes, couldn't help but sigh, "I don't want to have a semi-finished product of stage five."

"That's the worst-case scenario," continued Huang Ke. "If the gastrulovirus leaks out, we're more likely to be dealing with a large number of low-stage gastrulations, and these gastrulations are likely to It was mutated by the researchers in the base, unless the founder of the base really hollowed out the entire mountain, let alone the fifth stage, even the fourth stage is not something that this laboratory can accommodate.”

"So we are likely to fight gastroenteria in a confined space next? God, this will definitely become a disaster! Can't you open the safety door and then send unmanned units to explore?" The representative of the Nordic United, who arrived with Britain, couldn't help hearing this, and suggested worriedly.

"If there are only low-level gastrulations like Stage 200 and Stage [-], then you don't have to worry about it. We have prepared enough oysterium...bombs," Huang Ke said, pointing behind these experts. The location where the military supplies are stored, comforted, "In addition to the special effect of gastroentera-made bullets, we also brought more than [-] tubes of blockers this time. Even if someone is really infected, these blockers The dose is enough for all of us to evacuate to the 'disinfection point'."

"Then what if you are directly killed by gastrulation?" Another technical expert from the European Union raised his hand and asked, "These blocking agents cannot bring people back to life."

"As long as you can obey our arrangement and don't go to the unexplored area alone or together without the protection of military personnel, then we have sufficient confidence to guarantee that you will never be affected by low-level officials during this operation." A bit of a gastratus threat."

"How can you guarantee it?"

The European expert's question made Huang Ke silent for a while, then he strode towards the place where the building materials were piled up, casually picked up a steel pipe, waved the steel pipe, and after confirming that everyone's attention was captured After being attracted, Huang Ke twisted the steel pipe into a ball of twist under the watchful eyes of everyone, and the hard steel pipe was as 'soft' as a ball of cotton thread in his hands.

"That's it."

As Huang Ke said, he spread his palms upwards and pointed at the dozens of comrades behind him who had already completed their arms.

"It's just us."

Huang Ke's actions undoubtedly shocked everyone present. Just because he possessed such inhuman power alone was enough to make people astonished, and Huang Ke's last point to his teammates was beyond the performance of others. Of course, the understanding is that his teammates also have the same ability as him—or at least similar abilities, which makes representatives from other countries almost drop their jaws in experience.

There is indeed no problem with their understanding. All the human coalition forces participating in this exploration mission were volunteers who had voluntarily received the original enterovirus injection before the human coalition forces had figured out the inhibitory effect of the portal on the original enterovirus.

The reason why these former volunteers were listed as the first explorers is that the experience of actively receiving the original enterovirus injection under unknown dangers has proved that they have enough courage to face major choices. Also loyal and dependable.

And now no one knows what's going on under this laboratory. If there are really some things in it that can endanger the lives of the exploration team or something that will shock people's three views, then these people can at least be as big as possible. To ensure that the situation will not completely get out of control.

Of course, choosing them as the main executors of this exploration mission is of course also inseparable from the fact that their physical fitness has been "certainly" improved after receiving the virus injection.

Just as the European expert feared, the human coalition forces also know the danger of conflicts with Gastrea in such a small indoor environment, not to mention that in addition to military personnel, a considerable number of non-combatants participated in the exploration for the first time. personnel, if there is a real battle in the laboratory, dragged down by these non-military personnel, the exploration team will naturally be at a certain disadvantage.

In this case, it is very necessary to increase the combat capability of this team, and these volunteers have basically stabilized their physical fitness after a month of conditioning. , They can even engage in close combat with some stage one and stage two gastrella head-on.

Volunteers with such abilities have of course become the highest priority choice for the human coalition forces in this mission.

After the human coalition fully demonstrated its force, the expert representatives who were a little uneasy about this operation quickly calmed down. After Huang Ke answered the last few questions, Huang Ke nodded to the other comrades behind him. Nodding, these soldiers quickly brought over the equipment used in this operation and placed it in front of experts from various countries.

Considering that these experts are not regular military personnel, the equipment provided to them by the human coalition does not include weapons, but positioning, communication, surveillance and other emergency equipment.

All members participating in this operation must install all these devices on the cooperating gear of the chemical protective suit, and only after all the devices are fully opened and functioning normally can they enter the passage leading to the deep layer of the laboratory.

Each of these devices is only the size of a palm, and even if carried on the body for a long time, it will not affect the normal activities of the person. After all the devices are activated, these devices will send the relative position coordinates of the wearer in seconds. To the temporary headquarters located on the top floor of the laboratory, along with their location coordinates, there will also be pictures taken by surveillance equipment.

In the temporary headquarters, every signal entering the laboratory will be monitored by soldiers from Da Ming and New Britain in pairs. Once any abnormality is found in the position or image signal returned by anyone, whether it is to send support or Stop the operation, and the interim command can respond immediately, so as to avoid the situation where someone is killed by gastrulation or laboratory survivors without anyone knowing.

While the soldiers were assisting the members of the expert group to put on the equipment, Huang Ke also explained to them the usage and functions of these equipments very clearly. After talking about the functions of these equipments, Huang Ke explained in great detail the Precautions and disciplines that must be observed.

In order to avoid the unpleasantness caused by misunderstanding, Huang Ke directly clarified that these devices will upload everything they see to the temporary headquarters in real time. On the surface, they all understand and agree with this.

Of course they know that in addition to ensuring their safety, the most important function of these devices is to allow those who stay outside the laboratory to confirm their discoveries at any time, and even to stop some very cross-border behaviors, but even if some of them People might think that what Daming did was invading their privacy, at least at this moment, they still listened carefully to every word Huang Ke said.

Regardless of whether there is no danger under the laboratory, when they leave the surface, apart from the accompanying military personnel, they can only rely on the equipment on their bodies. If they do not understand the function of each equipment and the emergency call way, then if you are in danger below, you really can’t blame others.

The process of equipping these devices was not complicated. Not long after Huang Ke finished explaining, every member of the expert team had already installed these devices in the most convenient position with the help of soldiers.

"Open the locators...Okay, the number of locators is confirmed...Turn on the communication device...The communication device is normal..." After everyone finished the equipment, Huang Ke began to direct everyone to open these devices one by one. After confirming with the temporary headquarters that all the devices were normal, Huang Ke reported the preparations to the headquarters, and it didn't take long for the headquarters to send back the news that the mission was allowed to be carried out.

After receiving this news, Huang Ke nodded slightly, and then looked at the experts from various countries again: "Let me explain again, our intelligence for this mission is very limited, whether it is a potential enemy or a risk It’s unknown, it’s still too late for any of you who want to quit, but it will be very difficult to quit after entering the laboratory.”

"So anyone wants to quit now?"

No one answered, and no one will answer.

"Then we will set off in 10 minutes. You can take this opportunity to make some preparations, such as leaving a letter for your relatives." After speaking, Huang Ke ignored the expert group who were looking at each other, turned and walked towards the assembly of military personnel point.

The military personnel who have already completed their preparations have been waiting here for a long time. After seeing Huang Ke's figure, a black soldier from New Britain handed Huang Ke a rifle and asked Huang Ke familiarly. : "Hey, captain, I have already written letters to my girlfriend and ex-girlfriend according to your suggestion, but why didn't I see you write letters? Didn't you say that this is your habit before going to the battlefield?"

Huang Ke took the rifle from his hand, and then pushed down the magazine. The slender magazine was already filled with 5.8mm chrome-made bullets.

"Because I wrote it once a month ago," Huang Ke pushed the magazine back to its original position with satisfaction, and explained seriously to the black soldier, "but I don't think this time it will be better than a The one a month ago was even more dangerous."

Although the technical experts in the exploration team repeatedly stated that the internal power supply of the underground base had been restored within 10 minutes after the fifth stage appeared, but when the exploration team opened the safety door leading to the second underground floor, apart from the dark red emergency lights, , there is no longer any light on this sloping downward road.

These dark red emergency lights are extremely limited, and basically can only give a rough outline of the surrounding things, but these tiny lights are not enough for the explorers to discover those possible ambushes in time.

Intelligence shows that the possibility of enemies appearing on the second floor is very low, but any details that may cause risks cannot be easily ignored. Therefore, before most of the personnel entered the space on the second underground floor, the exploration team had already released four Lighting the drone.

These lighting drones have very basic artificial intelligence built in. Without receiving other control commands, they can hover at a height of more than two meters and automatically follow the person carrying the controller. Small energy-saving lamps light the way for explorers.

However, even with the help of these drones, the exploration team's search work on this layer is still relatively slow, although judging from the information previously obtained by the human coalition forces, this layer should theoretically be mainly used for storage by laboratories. The storehouse of materials and instruments, whether it is gastritis or those who snatched out the fifth stage, shouldn't cause too much damage to this layer.

However, the exploration team found that, except for the location near the passage leading to the upper floor, which was basically intact, the other places almost seemed to have experienced a tragic battle. .. The traces of the bomb explosion, the ceilings in some locations were even completely blown up by the impact of the explosion, the soil on the ceiling poured down from these blasted locations, and some areas were even completely blocked.

Obviously, this cannot be the damage that those who invaded this laboratory can cause. If they really have this ability, then they can completely wipe out this laboratory from the top floor. It is impossible to leave only that little trace of the battle.

Therefore, it is very likely that, as the human coalition forces had worried before, there are still human survivors in this experiment. Something actively blew up the data stored in this layer.

Huang Ke, who would rather destroy the data together than hand it over to others, was heartbroken. Apart from the fact that the important data may have been destroyed in the explosion, this also shows that the survivors in the laboratory did not seem to be alive. plans to surrender directly.

——Maybe they also know that there is no chance of survival after their deeds are exposed?

But in any case, now is the time when the accompanying technical experts come in handy.

After the military personnel of the exploration team were divided into five teams and it took more than an hour to completely eliminate the risk of this layer, these experts began to rescue and sort out the remaining data in this layer.

This task is not easy. Even though the survivors in the laboratory did not completely shatter all the data due to time constraints, the high temperature and impact of the explosion are enough to make a lot of data beyond recognition. The members of the expert team need to Many pieces of data that have been broken into pieces are collected piece by piece from the ground or soil, and then spliced ​​​​the collected pieces with my own experience and knowledge.

Complicating the task was the fact that while the accompanying civilians did have a few experts in linguistics, they knew little about biology and pathology, and few others. Know Japanese, so except for a few documents and materials written in their native languages, the progress of most people is not as fast as that of an expert in handwriting identification.

In addition to the difficulty of repairing paper documents, the repair of electronic equipment is not easy. The servers used to store data were the hardest hit by the explosion. Each host suffered at least three explosions. Most of the storages in the computer have been blown beyond recognition. Several technicians worked on the wreckage of the mainframe for more than an hour, and finally only found a hard disk that was not completely burned. It makes experts who want to read hard disk data feel a little irritated.

When most members of the expert team were busy rescuing the data, the exploration team had already regrouped. Considering that the data needed to be collected at this level could not be completed overnight, Huang Ke left more than a dozen team members to protect them. After the experts on this level, he led the team to the deeper laboratory.

After opening the security door leading to the next floor, Huang Ke and the team members became more cautious. There is now a lot of information showing that there are still human survivors in this laboratory, and according to the... It is speculated that the area where these survivors are most likely to be active is the main control room on the next floor.

However, the situation in this passage made Huang Ke somewhat suspicious of this conjecture. If the passage between the first and second basement floors was illuminated by emergency lights, then the ramp leading to the main control room was completely It became pitch black. If there were not several lighting drones to provide lighting, the only thing that could provide light was the lighting equipment carried by everyone.

This is by no means an environment in which humans can live in comfort.

In order to avoid being wiped out by the sudden attack, the exploration team, who were separated by a certain distance, carefully walked through the ramp leading to the third floor, and came to a hall about five meters high. According to the data, this The hall is the only large space on the third floor that can house all the survivors, but like the passage on the third floor, there is still no light here.

However, at this moment, Huang Ke faintly heard some rustling sounds, which sounded like someone was whispering or crying intermittently, but when the members of the exploration team turned the light on the sound When the incoming direction was illuminated, nothing could be seen except the cold laboratory wall.

This weird environment made every member of the exploration team nervous. Huang Ke made several gestures behind him, and the exploration team quickly adjusted to a defensive formation that could support each other.

The members of the exploration team are quietly surrounding the exit of the third floor. The overall shape is a slightly curved cone. Each member is nervously staring at the unexplored area on the third floor. The guns were aimed at positions where enemies might appear one by one.

At the same time, the abnormal situation on the third floor was also reported to the temporary headquarters immediately. After receiving the news that there might be survivors in the laboratory on the third floor, the headquarters immediately ordered the team members who remained on the second floor to Start to lay out the defense line on the spot and mark the evacuation routes. Once the third floor is attacked and the situation is out of control, the team members on the second floor will immediately cover the experts to withdraw to the ground.

While the evacuation work was going on in an intense and orderly manner on the second floor, the exploration mission on the third floor did not stop completely. gastrula, but it is certain that their body surface temperature is quite different from the external environment.

With the help of the thermal imager, the exploration team soon discovered that several heat sources were concentrated in the corner on the other side of the hall. It seemed that the heat sources on the entire third floor were gathered in the corner of the hall. Except for the heat sources found here, Other positions are basically blue-purple under the lens of the thermal imager.

If you listen carefully, the intermittent crying seems to come from here as well.

After discovering the source of the anomaly on the third layer, the exploration team did not let down their vigilance. Even though the outline of the heat source fed back by the thermal imager is very similar to that of a human, the size of these outlines is far smaller than that of a normal human.

It is not that no one in the exploration team has raised the possibility that the owners of these heat sources are human children, but thinking about the fifth stage of running out of this laboratory, most members of the exploration team still think that the possibility of this guess is very low.

After all, the contents of the experiments here are anti-human enough, how big are these researchers' hearts to bring their children to this laboratory?

——Of course, the possibility of young children being listed as experimental subjects cannot be ruled out, but everyone in the exploration team instinctively rejects this possibility, even if it is just a simple thought in the mind, the picture is enough Nauseous enough to spit it out.

But it is not an option to be blocked by these heat sources at the exit of the third floor, especially when the human outlines of these heat sources are enough to make everyone feel anxious.

After a brief discussion with the headquarters, the two lighting drones broke away from the team after rising to a height almost reaching the ceiling, and flew towards the heat source.

During the advancement of these lighting drones, the members of the exploration team almost held their breath and aimed their guns at the direction of the drone's advance. Concentrate on watching the light range approaching the heat source little by little.

The crying stopped when the light revealed the owner of the heat source to the members of the expedition.

Instead, there was a gasp.

The members of the exploration team can clearly see through the scope on the rifle. After being shrouded by the light source projected by the drone above their heads, several pairs of fearful eyes were placed on the drone above their heads. Several young children The body shrank into the corner that had not been illuminated by the light, and hid itself back into the darkness.

The most unacceptable speculation has been confirmed. These heat sources, at least in appearance, do belong to young human children. Although their secondary sexual characteristics have not yet developed, judging from their hair, these young children are likely to be female .

"God! What kind of experiment is going on here!?" The black sniper from New Britain raised his head from the scope, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then looked up again, but when After he confirmed that he was not mistaken, the soldier's anger rushed to the peak. Even though he had stated many times before setting off that he must keep quiet in the following operations, he still couldn't help but exclaimed.

Or in other words, if he hadn't repeatedly emphasized the issue of discipline before departure, he might have dropped his sniper rifle and rushed towards that corner.

As the leader of the exploration team, Huang Ke's face is also cloudy and uncertain at this time. Although he also hopes to rush over to confirm his guess in his heart, Huang Ke's worries about this laboratory still prevent Huang Ke from sending troops there rashly. .

Judging from the clothes on these girls, they were likely to be the laboratory subjects of this laboratory. Although they still retain their human form and look harmless, who knows that after the exploration team approached , will these girls suddenly become monsters?

Even though the lights of the drone only illuminated the girls for less than five seconds, and after the girls retreated into the darkness, in order not to overstimulate them, Huang Ke stopped the drone from moving forward.But this time is enough time for the strengthened Huang Ke to see how many of these girls' clothes are stained with blood.

In addition, Huang Ke could also see that the blood-stained clothes also had several bullet holes of different sizes. If these girls hadn't ripped off the clothes from other victims, then these clothes were enough to show that They had already been hit by bullets before the expedition team arrived.

Not only that, but the blood on these clothes was only stained with a very small piece, almost the point that splashed out after being shot, which did not match the size of the bullet holes on their clothes at all.
