In order to contact McMullen, Alex went to a military base near the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier.
By absorbing the memories of a Blackwatch commander, he learned:
The virus detection equipment originally placed around the Gentech building was developed by McMullen. Now this technology has been upgraded, and a more portable drone-mounted version has emerged.
It can detect viruses at a concentration of one part per 100,000 in the air.
With these keen drones, Black Watch has formulated a corresponding capture plan.
Alex immediately realizes that not only he, but also the places he once visited are no longer safe.
And he had just left his sister's hiding place.
He has special abilities and can escape at any time, but Dina can't.
For the sake of his sister, Alex had to temporarily put aside the task of finding McMullen, and turned around to eliminate the drone detectors around the hideout.
In fact, he was worried about whether there would be any problems with Karen, but in comparison, his sister was more important.
Besides, Karen is protected by Li Ang, so he may not be needed at all.
Unfortunately, Alex thought too much. The messenger he thought was protecting the flowers was currently staying at the Red Crown Base as General Randall.
General's office.
Li Ang tapped his fingers on the desktop regularly, and the latest news about the virus was being broadcast on the computer in front of him:
[The Gentech biological leakage incident has now been determined by the authorities as a biological attack on the entire city, and the suspect Alex Mercer has been listed as the most wanted criminal]
[See details about the suspect next]
Li Ang closed the computer and the broadcast stopped abruptly.
Even though he, the commander, has not shown up for a long time, Black Watch has done a lot of work. Everyone knows that the blame has been passed to Brother A, and his subjective initiative is very high.
"Captain Cross."
"I'm here, sir!" Cross, who was tall and strong, took a step forward. His resolute face and the scar on his lip gave him a hint of ferocity.
Li Ang stood up, walked around the desk and patted him on the shoulder.
"Keep your men on standby and there will be work soon."
Cross stood at attention and saluted: "Yes, sir!"
"In addition." Leon paused: "Drop all charges against Leon Vladimir and stop arresting him."
As soon as these words came out, Cross's eyes widened immediately: "But..."
Li Ang sat back on the chair and leaned back: "Not so much, but times have changed. He is one of our own now, obey orders!"
"Yes, sir!" Cross replied loudly.
He had just doubted it before, but now he was finally sure that the Randall in front of him was definitely the original body Odin.
He just had some doubts in his heart as to why Elizabeth didn't tell him such an important thing.
Just as he was trying to contact Elizabeth through the brood consciousness, a man next to him who had always remained silent spoke: "General, what do you mean by one of your own?"
There are actually only three people in the office. Apart from Leon and Cross, the remaining one is Dr. McMullen, whom Brother A is obsessed with.
McMullen is 49 years old this year. He wears glasses, his hair is meticulously combed, and he wears a well-dressed black suit. He exudes the aura of a scholar, but his too high nose bridge and deep-set eye sockets make his expression look ugly. It looks a little gloomy.
"General, I'm not questioning you, I just want to know, what do you mean by your own people?"
McMullen repeated the previous question.
Li Ang said with a normal expression: "Odin found me privately and expressed his willingness to be loyal to Black Watch, so I incorporated him into my personal guard. Do you have any questions, doctor?"
At this point, he turned to Cross and said, "I almost forgot to write a personal profile for Lieutenant Li Ang and say that he is a participant in the super soldier program."
"Understood!" Chris nodded in agreement and thought to himself at the same time.
He, the elite captain and the supreme commander, are both infected, and now there are multiple virus pathogens in the team. Although the latter two are the same person, it is enough to explain a lot of problems.
This Black Watch will end sooner or later!
McMullen next to him was a little anxious: "General, do you want to think about it again before making a decision? The original virus is very dangerous, especially Odin's identity and background is so mysterious. I'm afraid he has other purposes that will be detrimental to the general."
"My suggestion is to temporarily leave him to me for preliminary research and find a way to control him, so that nothing goes wrong."
These words almost made Li Ang angry, and the abacus beads almost fell off his face.
Others have other purposes, but you, McMullen, don’t?
As far as Li Ang knows, this Gentech research director has always believed that all Black Watch, including General Randall, are a group of stupid and short-sighted people.
Only science can unlock the mysteries of viruses and their impact on life on earth.
In order to be qualified to study black light, he founded Gentek, and he did not hesitate to cooperate with Black Watch, which he had always looked down on.
To a certain extent, McMullen and Elizabeth are essentially the same type of people, the kind of people who will never give up until they achieve their goals and are willing to give up everything for their ideals and ambitions.
He had long been interested in, and even obsessed with, virions.
Alex couldn't get it in a short time, so he blamed Li Ang.
Naturally, Li Ang would not let him get his wish and directly changed the subject: "Don't you have something to share with us today? Now that I have time, let's take it out and take a look."
The general's strength made McMullen temporarily give up his thoughts, and he could only continue along the topic:
"Well, I have newly developed a portable virus detector, and I want the general to observe the effect. If possible, I would like to deploy a large number of them in Red Crown to strengthen the base's defense."
"Portable?" Li Ang really had no impression of this plot: "Take it out and have a look."
After hearing this, McMullen took out a rectangular instrument from the box he carried with him.
There are many lines and a few buttons on it, plus a row of warning lights.
"I will briefly demonstrate its function for you two. As long as the machine starts running, if there is no virus detected around, the green light will light up. If there is, then the red light will light up, accompanied by a harsh sound."
As he spoke, he pressed the start button.
Suddenly, the warning light on the machine flashed red crazily, accompanied by a harsh siren.
McMullen's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at the two people in front of him in disbelief.
Li Ang's face remained calm and he said with a smile: "Doctor, is there something wrong with this thing? Is there an infected person in my office?"
"Are you right Captain?"
Chris' expression was a little dull, staring straight at the machine in McMullen's hand.
Fortunately, he reacted immediately and echoed: "Yes, the general is right! How can there be infected people in the base? It is simply insulting our Black Watch."
McMullen hurriedly turned off the machine and couldn't help but take out his handkerchief and wipe the sweat from his forehead.
He also suspected that the detector might be broken.
After all, only the original virus can disguise itself as someone else, and with two people in front of him, it is impossible for both people to be disguised as the original virus.
"I'm sorry to make you and the captain laugh, General. There must be something wrong with the machine."
Li Ang waved his hand magnanimously: "It doesn't matter. If there is a problem, just improve it. Failure once is not terrible, failure is terrible."
"Yes, you are right." McMullen kept sweating on his forehead, and he kept wiping it.
In any case, he didn't dare to stay in this place any longer, what if the detector wasn't actually broken.
"General, I have other things to do here, so I won't disturb you. I'll take my leave."
How could Li Ang let him leave so easily? He winked directly at Cross.
Cross also knew that the two of them were now grasshoppers on the same rope. If they were exposed, everything would be over. He kicked McMullen in the knee, knocking him down and subduing him.
A scholar meets a soldier. No matter how smart the doctor is, he is just a weak scientific researcher. How can he be the opponent of a soldier like Cross? One of his legs was almost kicked off on the spot.
Big beads of sweat rolled down from his brows, veins popped up in his neck, and his face turned purple from holding back. Before he could scream, Cross covered his mouth.
Li Ang walked from behind the desk to McMullen, kicked his unconscious leg, and pretended to blame: "Captain, you hit too hard, be gentle with our doctor!"
Cross pressed his knee into McMullen's neck and pulled out the restraints to bind his hands.
"I'm sorry, sir, I was negligent!"
McMullen finally recovered from the severe pain. While coughing due to suffocation, he asked: "Are you Alex?"
Li Ang knelt down and looked at him: "The person you are looking for is not here." Then he said to the captain indifferently: "Kill him."
Cross immediately took action and wiped McMullen's neck with a tactical dagger.
The blood instantly stained the floor red. McMullen's eyes became darker and darker, and his body twitched twice and then stopped moving.
Li Ang returned to his seat and asked meaningfully: "Captain, I often hear people say that only dead people keep secrets. Do you agree?"
Cross understood the subtext of the words and quickly replied: "I don't agree, sir, I can also keep it a secret."
"Very good." Li Ang changed the subject: "Contact Elizabeth, she will tell you what to do."
Cross had long wanted to contact the maternal body, but before he could exchange a few words, a face quickly stepped down and murmured: "She said, let me listen to you, sir."
Li Ang showed an expected smile. He was now Elizabeth's favorite and the first in line to succeed.
"In that case, I have a task for you."
Cross lowered his head respectfully: "You say."
"Go to St. Paul's Hospital and find a doctor named Grande and bring him to me."
"Also, there is the first patient infected with the virus in New York in an abandoned base in the quarantine area. Bring him here too."
Cross nodded in agreement and had to dispose of McMullen's body when he left.
Li Ang stopped him with words: "Keep it, I still have use for it."
"As ordered." Cross walked out of the office and gathered people to find the person Li Ang wanted.
On the other side, Alex, who had gone through a bloody storm, destroyed more than a dozen armored vehicles and helicopters, killed hundreds of Black Watch soldiers, and finally eliminated all the drone detectors before they discovered his sister.
After confirming that the hideout was safe, they set off again to find McMullen, not forgetting to collect virus genetic samples along the way.
After a period of exploration, Alex collected a sufficient number of virus samples, but still could not find a way to enter the Reagan, which made him a little discouraged.
In desperation, I decided to go back to my sister's place first.
As soon as they arrived at the hideout, Dina gave Alex a surprise. She thought of a way to contact McMullen.
It turned out that she learned through the news that Black Watch's scientific research team was constantly sending people to infected nests across New York. It seemed that there was something eager to investigate.
These scientific research groups must have come into contact with McMullen, who is also a scientific researcher.
Find them and extract from them the whereabouts of McMullen.
Alex thought his sister had a good idea, so he went ahead and immediately set off to the infected lair in the quarantine area to find the Black Watch research team.
The infected's lair and Elizabeth's lair are not the same thing, but they are similar. They are both buildings that have been contaminated by the virus due to the gathering of too many infected people.
Alex easily found a member of the scientific research team near the lair. After absorbing and assimilating him, an even bigger surprise hit him.
The purpose of the scientific research team here is to cooperate with the Black Watch combat troops to clean up the infected people inside the nest, reduce the concentration of the virus, and prepare for McMullen to enter the nest to study the virus.
Alex was overjoyed to learn the news, unaware that the person he wanted to see was almost bleeding out.
Return to Li Ang.
He absorbed and assimilated McMullen's body, leaving no trace behind.
The black light virus ranks first in destroying corpses and eradicating traces.
What surprised him even more was that although he was reabsorbed after death, resulting in no memory of McMullen, the disguise was still unaffected.
Li Ang suddenly felt interesting. He and Brother A would be able to meet again soon.
Just as I was thinking about it, someone knocked on the door outside.
Li Ang sat upright and said seriously: "Come in."
An officer in a white combat uniform walked into the office, saluted first, and then said: "Sir, I'm here to see Dr. McMullen. His helicopter is ready and ready to go to search the infected nests at any time!"
Li Ang thought for a moment and replied: "The plan is canceled and will be changed to another time. The doctor has other tasks today."
The officer seemed a little worried: "Sir, where is the doctor? I'll ask him to confirm."
Li Ang heard that he grabbed a stack of documents on the table, smashed it on him, and shouted angrily: "Are you his subordinate or mine? Get out of here and do something!"
Only then did the officer realize that he had committed a taboo. He quickly picked up the scattered documents and put them away, and ran out of the office in despair.
Li Ang rubbed his eyebrows, feeling as if he had forgotten something.
Picking up the phone on the table, he said: "As soon as Captain Cross comes back, ask him to come to the office to see me. Also, sort out all the information about the untouchables and send it to me."
