Kong Wu stood in the square. On his right, there were five helicopters parked on the ground, and many armed personnel took supplies from the aircraft.
"What is this guy Hu Qun doing?"
Kong Wu's expression was not very good. The headset on his right ear transmitted a report from the underground research base.
The content of the report was that Hu Qun asked everyone to stop and called back all the robots that were performing tasks, and the infected on the eighth floor had not been completely cleared.
"Contact me Hu Qun!"
Kong Wu immediately ordered through the headset.
Toot toot…
Several minutes passed without any response from Hu Qun.
Kong Wu clenched his fists. Hu Qun had been following him for a while. He knew Hu Qun's character. This man was serious about his work and absolutely loyal to himself.
But everything today is weird.
"Something may have happened at the underground research institute!"
Kong Wu thought immediately.
According to his original idea, if there was an infection in the underground research institute, this problem could be easily solved as long as it was discovered in time.
Don't spread the infection, clean up the infected people in time, and carefully recycle the bodies.
"The same situation happened to the team at the beginning. They suddenly lost contact."
"Because of this situation, I sent Hu Qun and the others. Unexpectedly, when Hu Qun arrived, this team actually shot at them!"
Kong Wu thought about the abnormality of the team when he first sent people to clean it up. He didn't take it to heart at first. He only thought that the team was threatened and was forced to shoot his teammates out of desperation.
But something happened to Hu Qun, which made him wary. Hu Qun's team consisted of more than a hundred people, as well as more than a dozen robots and hundreds of small drones.
This strength is more than enough to bulldoze a small village, let alone a research institute, and the infection is only on the seventh or eighth floor.
Kong Wu did not expect that two infected people with special abilities, No. 5 Infected Person and Zhao Yue, would appear. In his understanding, the infected people were also a group of people who had lost their minds and had no weird special abilities.
So when this kind of thing happens, Kong Wu can only guess that other forces are taking action against the base, and their strength is not small.
"Dark knife or north wind?"
Kong Wu was confused. The development of the situation was beyond his expectation. He did not dare to make the decision without authorization. He wanted to report to Cao Hongshen.
…
On the ground floor of the Underground Research Institute.
Zhao Yue revealed his figure and stood at the elevator entrance, waiting for his parents and infected person No. 5 to come up.
Behind him are a hundred armed infected and a dozen robots.
All these armed personnel have been infected, and under the orders of armed captain Hu Qun, a dozen robots also stood nearby.
drop!
As the system prompt sounded at the elevator entrance, Zhao Yue saw three people and a cat.
Zhao Yue's parents stood on both sides of infected person No. 5, supporting him with both hands.
The arms of infected person No. 5 in the middle were wrapped with several circles of bandages. Although he was covered with a mask and could not see his face, Zhao Yue estimated that his face must be very pale now.
There is also a two-tailed cat with red eyes on his shoulder, lying docilely.
"What are your plans next?"
Infected person No. 5 sent a message to Zhao Yuedao.
"The base gate has been closed. If you want to go out, you can only find the top of the base and open the gate through him."
Zhao Yue expressed his thoughts.
"But my knowledge of the base's senior management is limited...it's a bit troublesome to find them."
Zhao Yue shook his head and said.
"This... is not a problem..."
Infected Person No. 5 spoke in a relaxed voice with a bit of a smile.
He himself was the previous head of the base's armed forces, so he naturally knew this, but Zhao Yue didn't know his identity yet.
Seeing that he was so confident, Zhao Yue chose to believe him. After all, everyone was in the same boat now, and the two sides would not harm each other before leaving the base.
"Next, I will lead the way, but please note that the base is not that weak and the road ahead may be more difficult."
Infected Person No. 5 preached seriously.
Zhao Yue looked a little confused, which was somewhat different from what he thought.
In Zhao Yue's vision, the most difficult step was getting out of the underground research institute, but the rest was actually simpler.
Seemingly 'seeing' Zhao Yue's doubts, the fifth infected person smiled and said: "The strength of this group of teams is not bad, and there are surveillance cameras everywhere in the base. If we go out like this, we will definitely be discovered."
"I have infected the entire air circulation system of the base. As long as all base personnel are infected, there shouldn't be too many problems if they are discovered."
Zhao Yue replied with a thought.
"It's not that simple. There is actually a backup system controlled by artificial intelligence in the base. When someone is controlling it, this artificial intelligence is in a dormant state. But once it discovers that the infection level of the entire base reaches 80%, it will take over control of the entire base. , kill the entire base, or perform self-destruction operations."
Zhao Yue was shocked when he heard the words of infected person No. 5 in his heart. He did not expect such things to happen.
"Then you didn't tell me earlier!"
Zhao Yue was a little angry. His plan to infect everyone was told to infected person No. 5, and he also approved it.
If infected person No. 5 had explained this matter earlier, Zhao Yue might not have chosen to infect everyone in the base.
"It's not that I don't say it...it's just your plan...I think it can only infect some people...the concentration and quantity of the infection are completely insufficient...that's why I feel free to let you try...even if you succeed in infecting some people, it won't be good for us." It’s a good thing to say…”
Infected Person No. 5 spoke slowly.
Zhao Yue's face froze. He actually didn't have much confidence that the entire base could be infected through a bottle of infected blood.
Four people and one cat walked in front, followed by hundreds of infected armed personnel. As for the dozen robots, the two decided not to bring them with them. Instead, they let the robots attack each other and self-destruct while the armed captain's authority was still there.
Zhao Yue and infected person No. 5 are not confident about letting the robot follow them. The main reason is the permission issue. As long as the superiors find out about this, the robot's permissions will be adjusted. By then, the armed captain will have no permission at all. This is very difficult. In a dangerous situation, it is easy for the robot to suddenly point its gun at itself while being beaten.
Zhao Yue was familiar with the direction the four of them were heading in. He had been here secretly.
"The base has four acting directors, who are the four people with the highest authority in the entire base. Below them are the person in charge of the Armed Forces Department, the staff person in charge, and the person in charge of logistics management. These three people have the next highest authority, but they also have the authority to open the door. .”
Infected Person No. 5 said in a message.
"So among these people, who are you going to choose?"
Zhao Yue asked through his thoughts, and he was also curious in his heart, how did the fifth infected person know these things? You know, people who are not at the top usually don't know this clearly.
"Of course it's Cao Hongshen, one of the acting leaders."
Infected Person No. 5 spoke with a cold voice.
"Although the armed person in charge, the employee person in charge, and the later person in charge also have the authority to open the door, their authority is controlled by the acting person in charge. Therefore, if they are controlled by the acting person in charge, it is easy for the acting person in charge to change their authority, causing the door to fail."
Infected Person No. 5 continued to explain.
Zhao Yue nodded clearly, what he said did make sense.
"Among the four acting leaders, Cao Hongshen has a grudge against me, so my choice of him was partially based on my selfish motives..."
Zhao Yue didn't care about this. As long as it didn't affect the overall situation, he wouldn't care about these personal issues.
Before the four of them had gone far, a dense whine suddenly came from the sky above the base and under the glass cover.
Zhao Yue looked up and saw hundreds of drones flying in his direction in the mid-air not far away.
At the same time, in the distance, there were hundreds of robots with exposed alloy shells, two laser guns on their arms, and they were walking towards here step by step with heavy steps.
But Zhao Yue only saw no trace of human armed personnel.
"Here we come, get ready!"
Zhao Yue's eyes narrowed and he spoke quickly and concisely.
Infected Person No. 5 and Zhao Yue's parents also noticed this situation. Zhao Yixiong and Wang Wen both looked nervous.
"They didn't send armed personnel, so they must have discovered something unusual. Haha... they are really smart."
"These robots have scanning capabilities, so there is little point in entering street battles. They can only fight head-on!"
"Follow the plan!"
Infected Person No. 5 said seriously.
Zhao Yue nodded, his figure gradually became transparent and entered a state of invisibility.
He and infected person No. 5 had anticipated this situation, but they did not expect it to happen so quickly.
Zhao Yue moved forward quietly, and Cao Hongshen's location as the fifth infected person was told to him through telepathy, and Cao Hongshen's appearance was described in detail.
It's just that there is only sound but no picture, which is undoubtedly a big challenge for Zhao Yue.
And there's no telling whether Cao Hongshen is still in this position.
However, infected person No. 5 is quite confident in transmitting thoughts. As long as he appears, Cao Hongshen will definitely be there.
Zhao Yue didn't know why, but when things got to this point, it was no longer the time to be suspicious. He could only believe the words of infected person No. 5 and rush towards Cao Hongshen's location.
When hundreds of drones approached in the sky, they suddenly all suspended in mid-air.
Rays of blue light were projected from the drone, instantly forming a huge holographic screen in mid-air.
On the screen, a fat man in his thirties was lying half-ly on a leather chair with a smile on his face.
"Shen Xingchang, I haven't seen you for so many years. I didn't expect to meet again in this way."
The man on the screen is Cao Hongshen.
Infected Person No. 5 did not speak.
Cao Hongshen seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly laughed a few times, and then said: "Haha, I forgot, I had someone cut your tongue out, and you couldn't speak."
"What a shame...old friend."
Zhao Yue was hiding in the dark and saw the big screen.
"This person is Cao Hongshen."
Infected person No. 5 sent a message to Zhao Yue.
"I understand, your name is Shen Xingchang?"
Zhao Yue heard the sound on the screen and immediately understood that the fifth infected person should be the Shen Xingchang he mentioned.
"Yes...the name was from a long time ago..."
Shen Xingchang's voice sounded like he was laughing, but his laughter was a bit sad and bitter.
While Cao Hongshen was laughing and sighing, Shen Xingchang slowly raised his injured and bandaged arm and raised his middle finger to the big screen, but the middle finger was a little bent. This movement must have caused him great pain.
"How stupid! Kill them!"
Cao Hongshen saw Shen Xingchangbi's movements through the device, with an indifferent expression, and waved to end the holographic projection.
As the sound fell, a large number of drones flew, and bullets were shot in the direction of Shen Xingchang like a rainstorm.
Shen Xingchang bent down, and under the cover of Zhao Yue's parents, he quickly hid behind a wall to hide.
At the same time, hundreds of infected armed personnel behind them found nearby bunkers to avoid shooting.
However, some infected armed personnel were unable to escape and were shot dead by drone bullets on the spot, falling to the ground bleeding profusely.
Hundreds of robots in the distance also moved, and hundreds of laser weapons on their shoulders fired red laser energy beams towards Shen Xingchang and his group.
Sizzle!
The red laser energy beam has extremely high energy and can easily pass through most bunkers. It also has advanced scanning capabilities and terrifyingly accurate shooting aim.
The infected armed personnel hiding behind the bunker were shot one after another, and the hot energy beam passed through their bodies, revealing a hole, accompanied by a smell of burnt meat.
As the former head of the armed forces, Shen Xingchang is more aware of the terror of robots and drones.
In a head-to-head confrontation, he was no match at all. He could only control the armed men to delay.
"Throw me a grenade! Shoot!"
Shen Xingchang controlled the infected armed men and asked them to emerge from the bunker and attack without fear of death, raising their guns or throwing grenades in the hail of bullets.
A normal person would definitely not dare to attack out of fear.
But as controlled people, they have weak consciousness and will only obey Shen Xingchang's orders absolutely.
While there is no doubt that this attack and suicide did have a delaying effect.
Some robots were shot in key parts and immediately lost the ability to move. There were also many robots whose alloy shells were hit, leaving only craters.
This kind of robot is a frontal suppression robot, and dodge is their weakness, so throwing grenades is a good choice. But to make a robot incapacitated, one grenade is not powerful enough. It takes several grenades to severely damage them!
Shen Xingchang closed his eyes and realized that the number of infected armed men under his control had dropped sharply from hundreds to about fifty.
In less than a few minutes, most of the damage was done.
Drones fly freely in the sky, and floods of bullets fall from the sky from time to time, causing a lot of damage to the infected armed personnel. At the same time, these drones have extremely excellent dodge systems, making it extremely difficult for the infected armed personnel to shoot them.
Shen Xingchang suddenly turned his masked head, and he sensed an infected person appearing in a distant direction.
"I didn't expect that infection through the air tube would actually work..."
If he remembered correctly, that direction was the employee accommodation area, and it was also one of the areas with the most air circulation pipes.
Since the infection occurred in the underground research institute, the organization immediately issued an order for all people outside to return to their residences and undergo quarantine.
This measure was correct and there was no problem, but the organization did not expect that Zhao Yue had the ability to hide. He came to the air circulation equipment warehouse invisibly and carried out the infection through the air circulation system. The accommodation area is the place where air circulation is used the most.
This leads to infections within the accommodation complex.
This is undoubtedly good news for Shen Xingchang.
