ultimate host

Chapter 553
As long as they are not injected with pathogens by the military, there is no problem.

Thinking of this, Ai Li couldn't help feeling a little excited, and ran towards Helen's safe house.

According to the game plot, Brother A is going to Helen to see how her research on viruses is going.Of course, at that time, Brother A didn’t know that Helen had betrayed him.

Ai Li knew about it, but he still ran towards Helen's safe house unswervingly.

This is what it means to know that there are tigers in the mountain, but you are still a tigress, but you still want to go to the tiger mountain.

At the same time, in the circular military base.

A helicopter landed slowly. One had a curly head, but the top of his head was already a little bald. He wore round-rimmed glasses, and a man in a suit and leather shoes stuck out his upper body from the hatch, but he didn't come out.

He is the founder of the genetic engineering company, McMullan, who just escaped from under the nose of Ai Li.

This person is good at calculating, insidious and cunning.Even in the military base, he still looked around anxiously, making sure that there were no infected creatures here, and then stepped out of the helicopter with confidence.

Inside the base, in the hall, the one-armed general looked at the big screen, and McMullan was coming out of the helicopter, frowning slightly.

A senior officer next to him asked, "General, didn't he go to base No. 2? Why did he come back so soon?"

The general didn't answer the senior officer's question, but said to a civilian soldier next to him, "Go and bring him in."

The soldier responded and went out.

Not long after, the soldier walked in with McMullan's back.

When McMullan saw the one-armed general, he squeezed out a smile and said, "General, your subordinates really know how to joke."

The general didn't speak or show any expression, just looked at McMullan.

He disliked this person very much. He was too smart and too insidious.But there is no way, he has pathogens in his hands, which is useful to him.Under the current circumstances, it is simply unrealistic to rely on military firepower to suppress infected organisms. The only possibility is nuclear bombs.But he didn't want to use nuclear bombs unless it was absolutely necessary. After all, even if some people on Manhattan Island are infected now, there are still nearly 150 million people who are not infected.

The use of nuclear bombs will inevitably arouse public condemnation, which will be very detrimental to the government and himself.

Therefore, when the virus cannot be resisted and the nuclear bomb is not wanted, there are only pathogens.

McMullan has said that his pathogen can suppress the virus in the infecting organism.So he originally wanted McMullan to go to Base 2 and find an infected body for experiments.But he didn't expect him to come back so soon, obviously something went wrong.

The general had his concentration, and he waited for McMullan to continue speaking.

McMullan was waiting for the general to answer, but the general didn't speak, so he could only laugh at himself and said, "General, it's clear that your people said it was the infected creature in Base 2, but what did I see?" ? I see that Base 2 has become a brood."

The general's face remained unchanged, but he was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that the No. 2 military base had become a virus nest.It seems that the use of pathogens is imminent.

When McMullan said this, he also wanted to attract the attention of the one-armed general.

He continued: "Why do your subordinates lie? Is it to lure me over on purpose and take advantage of the chaos to snatch the pathogen?"

Still the general said nothing, just looked directly at McMullan.

"General, you must give me an explanation."

McMullan's tone was a little aggressive.

But the general remained silent, his eyes still looking directly at McMullan.

McMullan originally thought that if he was more aggressive, the general would give himself an explanation, at least say a few words of apology.After all, this incident was caused by the general's subordinates.

But when I saw the general, he was unmoved at all, like a rock, no matter you are blown by wind or rain, I will stand still.He can only give up.

Said: "Okay, General, we have to think of another way to inject the pathogen into an infected organism, which must be a relatively high-level infected organism."

Only then did the general speak: "Alex Mercer."

McMullan's eyes lit up, and he said, "Yes, Alex Moser, he is the most suitable candidate..." Speaking of which, he paused, "But general, can you catch him? I can I heard that thousands of people failed to catch him last time."

The one-armed general didn't answer McMullan's question directly, but said, "Captain Robert Cross."

Behind those high-ranking officers, a soldier wearing a black watch combat uniform stepped out.

McMullan was a little puzzled. The soldiers in front of him were all high-ranking military officers, basically school-level officers.How could there be a captain in the middle?Could this person be special?

The next moment, his eyes confirmed his thoughts.

I saw that Captain Robert Cross didn't wear a helmet like ordinary black watchmen, nor did he have any mask, just with his head bare.His face was really ferocious, and there was even a scar on his mouth.

But these are not the most special. The most special thing about him is that there is a device similar to a cuboid box on his left arm.

The cuboid box was about as long and as thick as his forearm.Attached to his forearm, it looks very cumbersome.At the front of the box, there is something like a camera lens.

He saw McMullan staring at something on his left arm. He smiled slightly and said, "Mr. McMullan, would you like to try?"

Although McMullan didn't know what it was, he knew by feeling that it was a weapon, and a very powerful weapon at that.He shook his head: "No need."

Captain Cross continued the topic just now, and said: "How to catch Alex? Moser, you don't have to worry about it, you just need to hand over the pathogen to us."

McMullan chuckled, took out a needle tube from the small box he had just brought, and said, "This is very precious, just this one, don't waste it."

Captain Cross took the needle and curled his lips: "The devil will believe you."

Although McMullan still had a smile on his face, he was a little surprised in his heart.I thought Captain Cross was just a reckless man who only knew brute force, but he was so shrewd.

Seeing that Captain Cross had obtained the pathogen, the general said, "You can contact her now."

"Who to contact?" McMullan asked warily.

Captain Cross had already dialed the phone and said, "In half an hour, we will set up an ambush and send you the coordinates, so you can let him come over."

"I see." There was a female voice over there.

McMullan asked again: "Who the hell?"

Captain Cross replied: "Alex's girlfriend, Helen Parker."

"Who is that?"

"Alex Moser's girlfriend."

"Since she is Alex's girlfriend, how can she betray Alex?"

"She's a very righteous person." Cross had a joking smile on his lips.

……

At the same time, Ellie has arrived outside Helen's safe house.

It's time to see this duplicitous woman again, she has already betrayed herself once last time, is it going to start again this time?
Ai Li strode into the apartment, took the elevator, and went up to the floor where Helen was.

After he entered the room, he saw Helen studying something in front of the computer.

"How is the virus research going?"

Ellie's voice was a little cold.

Helen shook her head and said, "I have encountered a bottleneck, and I need more virus samples."

Ai Li sneered without any trace, and said, "Then I'll look for it, what should I do?"

Helen hesitated for a moment, and Ai Li knew that after she betrayed herself last time, she was condemned by her conscience.This time she wanted to betray herself again, so she was naturally hesitant.

But in the end, the so-called justice in Helen's heart overcame her feelings for Brother A. She pursed her lips and said, "I need a large number of genetic material samples. I must enter the brood..." She said with a very serious face. Looking worried, he said, "Can you go inside the brood? If it's too dangerous, you don't have to go."

Ai Li sneered and said, "You know I'm a poet, right?"

"Huh?" Helen couldn't keep up with Ellie's rhythm.

Ai Li said: "Some time ago, I imitated the Orientals and made an ancient oriental poem: a sword in the mouth of a viper, and a needle in the tail of a wasp. Neither is poisonous, but the most poisonous to a woman's heart."

Of course, Ellie speaks American English, and after these lines are translated, they don't rhyme very much.But the meaning is clear.

Helen suddenly trembled.

These few words of Alex are obviously talking about her.

Did Alex already know that he had betrayed him again?impossible.It must be because he still remembers that he betrayed him last time.

Thinking of this, Helen had a bitter expression on her face, and said, "Alex, I know, I was sorry for you last time. But after that time, I knew that I was wrong, it was very wrong. I know our relationship It may not be possible to go back to the past, but Alex, I have always loved you."

Ai Li cursed in his heart: Bichi, kill me!You are still talking flatteringly in front of me, unless you really seduce me, otherwise I will never believe you again no matter what!
But on the surface, Ai Li seemed to be moved, his voice was a little low, and he looked at Helen: "Do you really still love me?"

"Well, I will always love you."

Ai Li nodded: "As long as you have these words, it is enough. Don't talk about one brood, even if there are ten or one hundred broods, I will break into it for you."

But what Ai Li said in his heart was: Go to hell, Bichi, your acting skills are too bad, don't let me see you again in the future, see you once, see you ten times, ten times.
