Mountains and seas have a home
230 Chapter 1 Drinking up the wine
After a few minutes, the grade assessment was completed, and "Scavenger" said: "The test passed."
Xiao Zhuoming was pulled up by his clothes, then dragged to a chair and sat down, while a man guarded her head with a gun.In the laboratory, apart from her, there are only a group of "scavengers" who are all black, and Lin Cheng in the bright observation room.Lin Cheng witnessed all this happening, but his expression was still calm, his eyes were half-closed, and he still looked half-dream and half-awake, which made people suspect that he was not awake at all.
The captain of the "Scavenger" paced slowly in the laboratory. Several of his team members turned the laboratory upside down in a dozen seconds. The captain specifically asked not to damage the precious experimental instruments here.He slid the goggles up, took a few things from the team members, looked through them for a while with lowered eyes, then closed the folder with a snap, and walked in front of Xiao Zhuoming: "Doctor Xiao Zhuoming, right? What are you doing here?" experiment?"
"Take care of people."
"Oh." The captain nodded, and looked back at Lin Cheng in the observation room, "Is that the patient? He looks terrible, and his test result is unqualified. He will be taken away by us."
"Don't touch him, this is my advice to you. But if you have any brains, you should know what dangers are in the negative pressure observation room of the fourth-level protection, let alone people. But it turns out that you are a group of people. idiot."
"Why does he live in a negative pressure observation room with level four protection? We have to think about it." The captain raised the folder in his hand and shook it, "Reformer?"
Xiao Zhuoming stared at him without saying a word, her silence made Captain "Scavenger" confirm what he was thinking, as if this was the way things should be.A member of the team came over and handed the captain an envelope, saying, "It's newly found."
The captain pinched the black envelope between his forefinger and thumb, and he quickly glanced at the gold pinstripe stamped on the envelope, and the red lacquer seal on the seal.The captain stared at the badge for a while, and then looked closely for a few seconds. He recognized that the pattern on the paint badge was a wolf's head with antlers.Such a pattern is a bit weird and makes people feel uncomfortable.He stood in front of Xiao Zhuoming, turned his eyes to glance at Xiao Zhuoming, and showed her the envelope: "What's going on?"
"A funeral post for you." Xiao Zhuoming replied.
The butt of the gun hit Xiao Zhuoming's chin heavily, a hole was opened, and blood overflowed from his mouth.She spat blood on Captain Scavenger's shoe.The captain looked down at his shoes, his eyes puffed up angrily, he grabbed Xiao Zhuoming's collar and rushed down, throwing it to the floor.The captain stepped on Xiao Zhuoming's hand, turned his head and said to the team members: "Tighten the doctor's handcuffs, and you go to the negative pressure room to get that sick kid out. Be careful, don't get into trouble."
The team members squatted down and grabbed Xiao Zhuoming's wrist, Xiao Zhuoming immediately struggled and cursed: "What are you looking at, Birdman!"
The handcuffs were tightened again. Xiao Zhuoming was thin and there was not much flesh on his wrists. She could feel that the serrations on the inner circle were almost breaking her bones.Then she was dragged up by the captain. Xiao Zhuoming stood up and saw three team members enter the negative pressure cabin. Lin Cheng was held up by them, and the infusion set in his hand and the breathing tube inserted under his neck were also roughly pulled out. When it fell, he immediately coughed violently, and then spit out a pool of blood and sticky vomit.
"Don't fucking touch him, bastard! Shit, your mother will be gone tonight! What's wrong with you?" Xiao Zhuoming stretched his arms, and immediately someone pulled the belt around Xiao Zhuoming's mouth, and then Cover her eyes with a black cloth and put on a hostage mask.
A needle stuck into Xiao Zhuoming's neck, and Xiao Zhuoming stopped moving after the medicine was injected.The captain raised his chin and asked someone to put her in the escort cabin.
The three people in the observation room pushed Lin Cheng into the cryogenic cabin and performed a forced freezing procedure.After they pushed out the cryogenic chamber, the captain looked down. Lin Cheng's eyes were not completely closed, they were half-opened and half-closed. He seemed to be awake, but he was indeed frozen.The captain saw Lin Cheng's eyes, and he always felt that these eyes were staring at him. The moment they looked at each other, the captain had a strange feeling, as if there were a pair of cold eyes looking at them from behind.
He looked away, shook his head, and then waved his hand to push the freezer away.The captain looked around the empty laboratory, called the team member who had just handed him the envelope, and slapped the folder on his chest: "Seize the entire laboratory, that Dr. Xiao can't stay here any longer. .Search all the information here, including this envelope, and let's show it to the boss."
The team members nodded and left.Holding the gun, the captain looked down at the shoes on which Xiao Zhuoming spat out dirty blood, cursed, and then shook off the blood.He lowered the safety goggles that had slid over his head and left the place.
Fu Zhong sat on a chair in the office, with headphones on his ears, and looked down at the backlog of documents that had been accumulated all morning.He could hear the sounds coming from the earphones clearly, including gunshots, scolding, and fighting.Fu Zhong didn't need to think about it carefully to know what kind of chaos the scene was like, but Fu Zhong didn't say anything, he was still calmly reviewing the documents in front of him.What Fu Zhong wants is this kind of chaos, the more chaos the better, now it seems that his goal has been achieved.
The screen of the phone turned on, and the sound in the earphones stopped abruptly.After Fu Zhong signed a name, he put the pen next to the ink-blotting table next to him, picked up his phone and looked at it.Immediately after the second call came in, the familiar voice appeared again: "'Scavenger' is gone."
"I know. You're all right?"
"What's wrong with me? If there is a problem, it's the one who was taken away. She was beaten up, so pitiful. But she is just a tool person created by the molecular recombination system, and it doesn't seem to have any effect. The molecular recombination system took a group of The fool's eyes are blinded."
"Because we have been fooled by it before, we know how powerful this thing is."
"If I was actually playing, it would be more than that. I would beat them up, and they would never dare to call for help. There would be no danger for me to do so."
"Of course, you are a qualified citizen and you don't have a weapon on your body. They dare not shoot. Shooting and abusing qualified citizens are prohibited behaviors in the bill. They have to think about the rest of their lives."
Xiao Zhuoming stood on the porthole, with one hand in his pocket.She stood here just in time to see the transport plane of the "Scavenger" unit get out of the berth slot of "Air One" and head for the ground.Xiao Zhuoming saw the pictures of mice and lilies painted on the fuselage of the transport plane.
"You're really good at counting, the bastards 'scavenger' are here as expected." Xiao Zhuoming said, watching the transport plane getting farther and farther away from "Air One", she turned and left the portway indifferently, walking into another secret room.
Fu Zhong nodded: "Then I have to thank Minister Lin Yifeng for providing us with information."
After the magnetic door was closed, a white ceiling light lit up in the secret room. A glass room about the size of the negative pressure observation room in Laboratory No. [-] was located in the center of the secret room, but it was obvious at a glance that the place was built temporarily.After all the lights were turned on, Xiao Zhuoming took a good look at the surrounding environment. This place is located in the central control area of the "Sky One" laboratory, where the mainframe of the supercomputer is stored.
Xiao Zhuoming raised her eyebrows and pressed the line of her lips. Her expression was a little surprised, probably because she was shocked by the environment she was in.She quickly retracted her gaze, walked towards the glass room, and said: "If you meet Mr. Lin Yifeng, please tell him that the mainframe storage in the 'Air One' laboratory of the Equipment Department is very good; if you come across When you get to Ms. Bai Zhu, please tell her that her molecular reorganization system has provided us with timely help; if you meet Professor Qi Mingli, please tell him that his memory modification technology is a very remarkable invention."
"I will tell them." Fu Zhong added, "Professor Qi Mingli revealed the secret of the reformed person to me, as well as the original envelope provided by Wu Jici's lawyer."
Xiao Zhuoming laughed, and she put on protective clothing for herself: "Then it's a long list to list one by one. Who is Lawyer Wu Jici? What's the matter with that envelope? The group of 'scavengers' came today Searching my lab, they seem to be looking for some documents, and that envelope."
Fu Zhong nodded, and turned a magnet ornament on the table, which was also left by the previous inspector.Fu Zhong lightly touched the floating dish-shaped gizmo with his fingers, watched it shake unsteadily, and said, "Wu Jici is Bai Zhu's lawyer. She works with Bai Zhu's money and has a lot of money in her hand. Evidence of Tang Lin and Constantine's crimes. She had contact with Tang Lin before, don't worry, she is from our side."
"That envelope represents the Tang family, right?"
"Not only does it represent the Tang family, have you seen the seal badge? It represents the Lulang sect. There are many families under one sect, and the Tang family is just one of them."
Xiao Zhuoming put on the protective clothing and stood at the door for a while. She took a moment to think about the relationship here.After a while, she wrinkled her nose, frowned and lingered for a while, then nodded and said, "I know what you want to do."
Fu Zhong laughed, and after a while he said, "I remembered a joke."
"What joke?"
"A group of bandits intercepted the darts. When confronted afterwards, the bandits said: 'We have never robbed the foreign goods you brought from Lingnan.' The owner said: 'But we have never announced that our goods are Bought from foreigners.'”
After speaking, he stopped, he wanted to wait for Xiao Zhuoming to express something.After a while, Xiao Zhuoming smiled softly and said, "That's what you want to do now, right?"
"'Scavenger' was ordered to go to 'Sky One' today. It is self-evident who ordered this unit directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Public Security. The Minister of Public Security Zheng Dongyi and Tang Lin came from the same division. They are now sure Allied."
Xiao Zhuoming didn't intend to enter the observation room immediately, she stood outside and watched for a while, there was a cryogenic cabin in the observation room, Lin Cheng was leaning on the pillow and typing on the keyboard with his hands raised.The Lin Cheng here is different from the Lin Cheng in the No. [-] laboratory. The Lin Cheng here looks a little more energetic, but his two arms with outstretched sleeves are still skinny.Nutritional recovery is not that easy.Xiao Zhuoming looked at Lin Cheng, Lin Cheng ignored her, he was concentrating on dealing with things on the computer.
In the end, Xiao Zhuoming didn't open the door to go in. She took a step aside and walked calmly: "I heard the news that the 'scavenger' unit was originally planned to be under the direct leadership of the Central Military Commission and the State Council."
Fu Zhong picked up the fountain pen that he had put down just now, turned over a piece of paper full of nonsense, and started drawing casually behind his back—he was not used to leaving his hands empty, he had to find something to do for himself.Fu Zhong's complexion didn't change because of Xiao Zhuoming's words, although he knew what the words meant, there was always 30% suspicion between people.Fu Zhong leaned on the back of his chair, looked at the pen in his hand, and said, "The Military Commission doesn't take on such dirty work. The army is for the outside world, and the army will not point its guns at its own people."
"I don't know that the "Resolution on the Compulsory Clearance of Remaining Residents" is a bad idea thought up by that clever head. How could they do this? It's ridiculous. Every day tens of thousands of people are detained in concentration camps for forced clearing. There will be more and more."
"Four-fifths of the seats in the Great Hall are occupied by the asses of the fugitives. Tell me who came up with this kind of resolution. The remaining one-fifth will be crowded out. In our The unseen place has long been in chaos. The gang disputes in the government's meeting hall have never stopped, and the wind of public opinion is swaying like weeds on the wall. Those who can run away have long since run away. The chaotic is always chaotic, only The people can save the people."
"Oh." Xiao Zhuoming covered his eyes and rubbed, then spread his hands, "How did it become like this. Lin Cheng is like this, he will be found sooner or later. And it will take some time for him to recover."
Fu Zhong was silent, but the pen in his hand didn't stop.It was cold in the office, and there was a heater on the desk.The snow outside the window was getting bigger and bigger, and finally it was connected into one piece and rolled over fiercely from the sea.Fu Zhong looked at the clock on the wall, it was almost dinner time.
The pattern drawn on the paper gradually revealed its outline. Fu Zhong drew a snake and a wolf's head with antlers.His pen tip paused at the snake's eyes for a while, and then he continued to draw, saying: "So today, Lincheng can be saved by doing this. Some people with ulterior motives want to prevent us from fighting the 'dragon blood pollution', and they finally The one who wants to attack is you, and Lin Cheng. You are an expert in this research, and Lin Cheng is the first infected person."
"I can understand the relationship here, and I know what kind of situation I am in. I just can't figure it out. At this time, there are still many people who will choose to stop us from fighting the 'dragon blood pollution'. I can't understand."
"Don't speculate on the intentions of politicians with your doctor's mentality. Maybe they are now thinking about how to use 'dragon blood pollution' to wipe out a group of people with little effort. Such people abound, especially At the conference table."
"Well, we have different positions, so don't try to correct the other party's thinking. Let's not talk about this, let's talk about today's affairs. You can guarantee the safety of Lin Cheng and me, right?"
Fu Zhong did not deny: "Of course, you are a very important part, and now the whole North Pole is counting on you."
Xiao Zhuoming laughed, "Someone among us is going to be the savior."
"You'll be a real hero. Your remodeling pods have been used in medical centers in various military locations, and people there say you're a hero."
"Will my name be engraved on the monument?"
"Maybe."
Xiao Zhuoming nodded: "The mobile phone that was left in the laboratory just now was taken away by the 'scavenger'."
"I know, I just want them to take it away. I located the phone in another place, and if they want to check the call records, they will only find the wrong place. Then let them go about their business." Fu Zhong said, He outlines the scales of the snake and the edges of the antlers, "If they really look into it, it means they have a guilty conscience, 'dragon blood pollution', 'reformed people'... I have enough materials, and the media likes this If they don't act, they will be charged with violent law enforcement, beating qualified citizens, illegal search, and confiscated items. All the evidence is with me, and I plan to drag the Minister of Public Security into it. Enough to beat them up."
"What if they spread the word about an outbreak in the Arctic? Said it was caused by a virus we released on purpose. They're not going to sit still, they're going to attack us when they get a chance."
"They won't do that, because it's not good for them. At seven o'clock tonight, news about the Arctic epidemic will explode in major newspapers, online platforms, and news outlets. I tried my best to suppress the news before This day. If they really do this, then I will announce to the public that Dr. Xiao Zhuoming is the only person who can save this epidemic, because you have first-hand information on 'Dragon Blood', and 'Scavenger' tied The only doctor who can cure the disease is gone, and the experimental body is destroyed. Think about it, how will the public react?"
"You have everything planned, right?"
"At least I have to think about a way to rescue myself."
"They will definitely attack, and the means will not be too bad. Maybe there are situations you didn't expect. The old foxes are smart. You have to be careful."
Fu Zhong stared silently at the white paper under his brush, a black and white painting was about to be completed.Fu Zhong put down his pen and tapped on the table, making a rattling sound, and said, "As long as there are no traitors among us, then everything can be resolved."
Xiao Zhuoming felt that it was almost done, she turned her head to look at Lin Cheng, Lin Cheng didn't press the keyboard, he was leaning on the soft cushion and squinting his eyes to rest.Xiao Zhuoming knew that he was awake.After she went through the disinfection procedure and entered the observation room, Lin Cheng raised his eyelids and glanced at her.
"All done?" Xiao Zhuoming asked him through the protective mask.
Lin Cheng lay back again, closed his eyelids, and hummed lightly: "The surveillance video has been processed. Other positioning and recordings have also been arranged."
"Is your body okay? Is there anything unusual?" Xiao Zhuoming glanced at the monitor next to him, which showed that Lin Cheng still had a low fever.
"Excellent. It feels so good to be alive." Lin Cheng said, his lips were slightly pressed together when he spoke, and his voice carried the sound from his throat, "The sword is not old."
Just now Xiao Zhuoming suggested that he use a robotic arm controlled by his brain to complete computer operations, but Lin Cheng refused.Lin Cheng prefers to do things with his own fingers, which allows him to find a real and familiar feeling.He slept in the freezer cabin for too long, and the world was changed when he woke up.Next to Lin Cheng's pillow was a book and a stack of documents.The cover of the book reads "On Peace and the Human Spirit".
Xiao Zhuoming gestured and asked Lin Cheng, "Do you want to talk to your friend?"
Lin Cheng said: "Didn't we talk about it outside just now? We had a good chat."
"Oh." Xiao Zhuoming nodded and turned to the intercom, "You can hang up, Inspector."
"Wait a minute." Lin Cheng said again, "I have one more thing."
Xiao Zhuoming's gaze shifted back, seeing that Lin Cheng was about to lift himself up from the pillow, he went to help him, and then adjusted the auxiliary respirator inserted in his throat.The infusion tube hanging next to the cryogenic cabin wobbled, a bottle of medicine was almost finished, Xiao Zhuoming transferred the call to the Lincheng headset, and then went to replace him with a new bottle of medicine.Lin Cheng put his hands together, there were many thin tubes stuck in his body.He just kept his eyes open, half asleep, as if the tubes had sucked the flesh out of him.
Fu Zhong greeted Lin Cheng, and he heard Lin Cheng cough twice.After taking a few breaths, Lin Cheng felt that he could speak, and then said, "When can I go down?"
"Did you mean to come down to the ground? Soon. Now Dr. Xiao Zhuoming's authority to return to the ground is banned, but I will solve this problem soon. Don't worry, Dr. Xiao will bring you down then. "
"How soon?"
"Maybe a few hours, maybe a few days. It won't be long. You just need to lie down and sleep, and open your eyes to find that you are already in the ice and snow of the Arctic."
Lin Cheng's jaw tightened for a moment, and then he coughed again. Xiao Zhuoming helped him adjust the contraction frequency of the respirator.Lin Cheng's ears were flushed due to suffocation and difficulty breathing, this color looked a bit scary against his pale skin.
Fu Zhong knew that he couldn't intervene now, and Xiao Zhuoming would take care of everything.The heater on the desk made his hands a little hot, but the heating in the room was still only a thin layer, and the ice crystals on the glass had just been removed, and now they covered a few windows.After Fu Zhong finished his last stroke, he put down his hand and turned off the heater.There is a soda can on the opposite window sill, and Fu Zhong can see a small ice shelf from the gap between the innermost bay window and the signal tower outside.
After looking at the painting for a while, Lin Cheng's voice reappeared from the earphones: "Dr. Xiao said that I have to observe for at least another week, but I'm much better now. It's a miracle. I won't be forcibly removed, right? "
"Of course not. If you don't want to, no one will arrest you and send you to a concentration camp. We must have a hacker here. You are Stephen Hawking among hackers. Get rid of the paralyzed part." Fu Zhong said.
"Come on, man, I'm an executive by profession, I'm not some Stephen Hawking of hackers!"
Fu Zhong wiped the ink line on the paper with his thumb, and left a small black ink stain on his finger: "You are not an executive now, they think that your physical condition is no longer suitable for this job, and they put you Temporarily removed from the executive list."
"What?" Lin Cheng's body moved, indicating that he was very emotional now, Xiao Zhuoming saw the curve on the monitor fluctuate violently.
"You are not an official member of the Executive Department now." Fu Zhong said, "It is July, and you have slept in the cryogenic cabin for three full months, so of course you have been removed from the Executive Department. Oh, and one more thing I forgot By the way, the "Regulations" of the Time Bureau have also changed a lot."
"Didn't we only correct it once when we entered the game? We had to recite the whole book, and there was a fucking test after that. I only got a B."
"But it has been changed again now. Everything serves the black hole crisis and the future of mankind. When you have time, you should find the latest version of the regulations and take a good look. You will find that it is a wise choice to leave the time bureau."
Lin Cheng looked at the ceiling above, and didn't speak for a while.It takes him a few minutes to accept this fact.The world has changed drastically, and 100 years have passed as soon as the eyes are opened and closed.Lights were lit on the ceiling of the observation room, and sirens were mounted next to the lamp sockets.Ever since Lin Cheng woke up, he could only see these lights and the siren every day when he opened his eyes.In a trance, he felt that he had fallen into the gap of time, he was being melted by something, he was floating like this, everything was nothingness.
After a while, he withdrew his thoughts, Lin Cheng knew that now he had to take a step forward.Xiao Zhuoming sorted out the reagent kits in front of the cabinet next to her, and then turned off all unnecessary instruments. She had to get ready to get the observation room out of the host storage and find a new laboratory.Lin Cheng felt very tired, and he still had a low-grade fever, his eyelids were hot and hot, like two irons leaning together.Lin Cheng took a long breath, he wanted to close his eyes and rest, but decided to try his best: "You and my dad partnered to get me out of the executive department, right?"
Fu Zhong gave him an affirmative answer, because this is the fact.Lin Cheng's whole body was lying relaxed on the soft pillow. He was silent all the time. Fu Zhong could only hear his long breathing in the earphones, so he judged that Lin Cheng was at least still alive.
"See you then, Brother Seven." Lin Cheng finally said.
"See you."
"Take a message to Wei Shanhua and say that I will always miss him."
"He's always missed you, too."
Lin Cheng smiled, but he didn't seem to be smiling."That would be the best," he said.
Fu Zhong hung up the phone, but he didn't take off the headset.He picked up his phone and looked at the lock screen wallpaper, he saw Ji Yao in the photo, and the rose flower behind him.Fu Zhong always looks at this photo every day, and he can always find many great things in it.
The ink on the paper was all dry, and the table top gradually became cold after the heater was turned off, and it would be as cold as a piece of iron in a few minutes. This kind of place can't keep a trace of warmth.Fu Zhong picked up the piece of paper, held it in his hand and looked at it quietly.In the picture, the wolf head with antlers is tightly entangled by a poisonous snake. The snake's eyes are showing a fierce light, and the snake's open mouth shows a letter, and it is fighting with the wolf's teeth.
This painting made Fu Zhong look at it for a long time. He didn't have any expression on his face, but just silently stared at the eyes of the two animals in the pattern. He saw the blade and joy in these eyes.He reconfirmed the meaning of what he did, and he had to remind himself from time to time to pay attention to the direction he was going, just like a sailor waking up from sleep, whether he wakes up from sleep or from a state of absent-mindedness, he must see Look at his compass main bearing.Even if it is not within the usual course, at least it can ensure that the direction of navigation is correct.
He glanced at the time through the end of his eyes, the minute hand was pointing to the hour.Fu Zhong twisted the edge of the paper for the last time, then crumpled the poisonous snake and wolf into a ball, and threw it lightly into the trash can next to it.He sat up straight and put the cap on the pen, and then he could smell the cold, faint scent of ink wafting in the room, which came from the inkwell next to it.In front of the inkwell, there is a metal nameplate with "Dear Comrade Xi Jianwen" engraved on it.
Now he has changed from the unknown 0578 to the respected "Comrade Xi Jianwen".
Fu Zhong glanced at the nameplate, but didn't stay too long.He knows who he is, whether he is respected or not is another matter.Fu Zhong took off the overcoat on the armchair and put it on, turned off the lights in the office and walked out the door.He wanted to go to dinner, but before that he decided to stop by the medical department, wondering what happened to the bad guy he smashed into the pizza a few hours ago and broke the bridge of his nose.When Fu Zhong thinks of him, he thinks of anchovy pizza.Fu Zhong hates anchovies the most.
The doctor came out of the ward and said to Fu Zhong through a layer of protective glass: "He is infected and has no symptoms yet."
This answer satisfied Fu Zhong, but it was only temporary.Standing outside the protective glass, Fu Zhong saw someone coming out of the ward, two guards escorting a man in a hospital gown, followed by several doctors.Fu Zhong recognized who was in the hospital gown, the pizza sauce on his face was washed off, and the bridge of his nose was smeared with medicine.This look is a bit embarrassing, but he still looks like he is defiant.
He's finished, Fu Xin thought, that's about it for him.
"Well, just keep him in the isolation area and don't let him out until he recovers." Fu Zhong said, he watched the guard escort the man down the stairs, so he looked away and prepared to leave.
But the doctor added: "I'm afraid he won't recover."
Fu Zhong's desire to leave here was suppressed a little, but he didn't answer, just looking at the doctor like this.
The doctor hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Although I know that we have many authoritative and experienced infectious disease experts here, and they have also conducted research on this disease...but you know, the onset time is not accurate. Regularity, some infected people exploded while walking on the road. Many doctors and nurses have been frightened by the scene of blood and flesh. This is no exaggeration, because I have seen it with my own eyes. It’s not that I can’t believe it Expert, I just feel like... we can't make it, time is running against us, we can't catch up. Can you understand?"
"I can understand." Fu Zhong nodded, "Time is racing against each of us. I used to work in the Time Bureau, so I can understand what you mean."
The doctor propped up his back, turned his head and squinted his eyes to see the people coming and going in the corridor. A man with a bruised nose and a swollen face was sitting on a chair, crying and talking.The man in orange clothes was cleaning the large bloodstains on the ground with a bucket and mop, while the wall on the other side was splashed with blood everywhere. Two guards with guns carried one end of the body bag and walked away quickly. opened.Fu Zhong knew what was in the body bag.
The doctor opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't say it.He turned around and gestured to Fu Zhong, wanting him to see the situation of the medical department on the other side of the protective glass.The doctor said, "Can Inspector Chief understand our situation?"
"I know what's going on in the monitoring platform, and I can understand your current mood. Don't worry, doctor, I will take care of it, and everyone will have a bright future."
"We don't think about the future, Inspector. Now is not the time to think about the future. What we need is a vaccine, or a cured patient. But now we have neither, we have nothing." The doctor's eyes suddenly filled with water, as if I was stimulated by what Fu Zhong said.But he didn't let the tears flow down. Through the mask of his protective clothing, it can be seen that he is trying to restrain his emotions at this time, his jaw is tense, and the flesh of his cheeks is also bulging.
Fu Zhong swept across his face, he didn't dare to look into the doctor's eyes, people who were crying always made him feel flustered, and this flustered feeling would overwhelm him.Fu Zhong blinked a few times, and he scanned the scene behind the doctor.The man with the bruised nose was taken away by another nurse, and the cleaner in the orange clothes packed the bucket and left, all traces were wiped away except the blood on the wall.That blood is the proof.The light was still on, and the light illuminated only the darkness.
The doctor was still talking, he spread his hands as if complaining.Fu Zhong looked away and heard the sound of the north wind whistling.He put his hand on the glass and said: "There will be a vaccine soon, and experts who specialize in this disease will also come. They are just encountering a little trouble now, and it will be resolved soon. By then It is our turn to gain the upper hand. Take heart, doctor, we will not be defeated here."
"My God." The doctor said, and Fu Zhong saw a thin line of tears hanging on one side of his cheek.The doctor's pager rang, and he answered and said a few words, then hurried away.Immediately afterwards, Fu Zhong saw someone rushing towards the emergency room pushing the hospital bed.
Fu Zhong didn't leave quickly, he walked into a small corridor outside the medical department, and suddenly couldn't move his feet.Fu Zhong leaned against the wall, a thick melancholy hit him in the deserted corridor.On one side of the corridor is an open glass window, Fu Zhong sees his own reflection in the window, and he sees himself more in the window than in the mirror.Fu Zhong knew why he was depressed, he looked at the fake shadow opposite, and thought of some other people.
He thought of Professor Geng Shuming who was crying because he lost a student, and the draftsman whose neck was pierced by a sniper. Fu Zhong thought of the blood all over his body.After a while, he saw Bunny in the interrogation room, the guy who was following him, and the expression on that guy's face.Ji Yao's back, mother's tombstone.Fu Zhong covered his face, he arched his body, as if he was about to fall down.In the long narrow corridor, only the overhead light was with him at this time. The other end of the corridor seemed to be connected to the back of time, and those lost things would come back along this road.
The wind beat against the windows like a group of strange guests making noise.Fu Zhong finally sat on the metal chair next to him, leaned his head against the wall, and closed his eyes as if he was asleep.He put away all thoughts in his mind and only thought about the snow, so thick and pure white.
The black Wrangler was driving along the national road outside Dongping National Forest Park. The metasequoia planted beside the roadbed were all old trees, and there were still fluffy leaves hanging on many branches.The branches of metasequoia are thin and dense, like fluff that has just grown from a straight trunk, and they are stretched like this.Behind the barrier of metasequoia was a patch of white birch, and the avenue, covered with wet fine sand, led to an orchard of lilacs and elms.
There are no vehicles on the national road, and the places covered by trees are lifeless. Metasequoia East Road and Metasequoia West Road are only separated by a 30-meter-wide green belt.There was no snow, the Wrangler's headlights were bright, and the police patrolling in the sky lowered the helicopter and followed them for a while, and then flew away after confirming the identity of the person in the car.The road turned at a T-shaped intersection, then entered Caochang Road, and finally drove towards Huanhu Avenue.The headlights illuminated a small bridge between two clumps of junipers, across which the artificial lake could be seen.
The car slowed down sharply as it approached, because the road ahead was full of roadblocks, the driver had to slow down and drive carefully.After a jolt, the car approached the wooden bridge, but a figure appeared in the place illuminated by the light beam, walking up from behind the juniper trees on the side of the bridge.
The Wrangler stopped.The driver didn't turn off the lights, and the man turned around when he got to the middle of the bridge. The bright and dazzling light illuminated Bai Zhu's face.Bai Zhu didn't wear jewelry, nor did he wear a coat with a silver fox fur scarf.She was wearing the black and white camouflage combat uniform of the Falcon Commando, and the black and white wings badge was shining in the middle of the black beret pressed on her head.Bai Zhu was expressionless, with deep wrinkles on his face.Holding a gun in her hand, she stood on the bridge with her feet shoulder-width apart and looked at the black off-road vehicle not far away.
Xiao Zhuoming was pulled up by his clothes, then dragged to a chair and sat down, while a man guarded her head with a gun.In the laboratory, apart from her, there are only a group of "scavengers" who are all black, and Lin Cheng in the bright observation room.Lin Cheng witnessed all this happening, but his expression was still calm, his eyes were half-closed, and he still looked half-dream and half-awake, which made people suspect that he was not awake at all.
The captain of the "Scavenger" paced slowly in the laboratory. Several of his team members turned the laboratory upside down in a dozen seconds. The captain specifically asked not to damage the precious experimental instruments here.He slid the goggles up, took a few things from the team members, looked through them for a while with lowered eyes, then closed the folder with a snap, and walked in front of Xiao Zhuoming: "Doctor Xiao Zhuoming, right? What are you doing here?" experiment?"
"Take care of people."
"Oh." The captain nodded, and looked back at Lin Cheng in the observation room, "Is that the patient? He looks terrible, and his test result is unqualified. He will be taken away by us."
"Don't touch him, this is my advice to you. But if you have any brains, you should know what dangers are in the negative pressure observation room of the fourth-level protection, let alone people. But it turns out that you are a group of people. idiot."
"Why does he live in a negative pressure observation room with level four protection? We have to think about it." The captain raised the folder in his hand and shook it, "Reformer?"
Xiao Zhuoming stared at him without saying a word, her silence made Captain "Scavenger" confirm what he was thinking, as if this was the way things should be.A member of the team came over and handed the captain an envelope, saying, "It's newly found."
The captain pinched the black envelope between his forefinger and thumb, and he quickly glanced at the gold pinstripe stamped on the envelope, and the red lacquer seal on the seal.The captain stared at the badge for a while, and then looked closely for a few seconds. He recognized that the pattern on the paint badge was a wolf's head with antlers.Such a pattern is a bit weird and makes people feel uncomfortable.He stood in front of Xiao Zhuoming, turned his eyes to glance at Xiao Zhuoming, and showed her the envelope: "What's going on?"
"A funeral post for you." Xiao Zhuoming replied.
The butt of the gun hit Xiao Zhuoming's chin heavily, a hole was opened, and blood overflowed from his mouth.She spat blood on Captain Scavenger's shoe.The captain looked down at his shoes, his eyes puffed up angrily, he grabbed Xiao Zhuoming's collar and rushed down, throwing it to the floor.The captain stepped on Xiao Zhuoming's hand, turned his head and said to the team members: "Tighten the doctor's handcuffs, and you go to the negative pressure room to get that sick kid out. Be careful, don't get into trouble."
The team members squatted down and grabbed Xiao Zhuoming's wrist, Xiao Zhuoming immediately struggled and cursed: "What are you looking at, Birdman!"
The handcuffs were tightened again. Xiao Zhuoming was thin and there was not much flesh on his wrists. She could feel that the serrations on the inner circle were almost breaking her bones.Then she was dragged up by the captain. Xiao Zhuoming stood up and saw three team members enter the negative pressure cabin. Lin Cheng was held up by them, and the infusion set in his hand and the breathing tube inserted under his neck were also roughly pulled out. When it fell, he immediately coughed violently, and then spit out a pool of blood and sticky vomit.
"Don't fucking touch him, bastard! Shit, your mother will be gone tonight! What's wrong with you?" Xiao Zhuoming stretched his arms, and immediately someone pulled the belt around Xiao Zhuoming's mouth, and then Cover her eyes with a black cloth and put on a hostage mask.
A needle stuck into Xiao Zhuoming's neck, and Xiao Zhuoming stopped moving after the medicine was injected.The captain raised his chin and asked someone to put her in the escort cabin.
The three people in the observation room pushed Lin Cheng into the cryogenic cabin and performed a forced freezing procedure.After they pushed out the cryogenic chamber, the captain looked down. Lin Cheng's eyes were not completely closed, they were half-opened and half-closed. He seemed to be awake, but he was indeed frozen.The captain saw Lin Cheng's eyes, and he always felt that these eyes were staring at him. The moment they looked at each other, the captain had a strange feeling, as if there were a pair of cold eyes looking at them from behind.
He looked away, shook his head, and then waved his hand to push the freezer away.The captain looked around the empty laboratory, called the team member who had just handed him the envelope, and slapped the folder on his chest: "Seize the entire laboratory, that Dr. Xiao can't stay here any longer. .Search all the information here, including this envelope, and let's show it to the boss."
The team members nodded and left.Holding the gun, the captain looked down at the shoes on which Xiao Zhuoming spat out dirty blood, cursed, and then shook off the blood.He lowered the safety goggles that had slid over his head and left the place.
Fu Zhong sat on a chair in the office, with headphones on his ears, and looked down at the backlog of documents that had been accumulated all morning.He could hear the sounds coming from the earphones clearly, including gunshots, scolding, and fighting.Fu Zhong didn't need to think about it carefully to know what kind of chaos the scene was like, but Fu Zhong didn't say anything, he was still calmly reviewing the documents in front of him.What Fu Zhong wants is this kind of chaos, the more chaos the better, now it seems that his goal has been achieved.
The screen of the phone turned on, and the sound in the earphones stopped abruptly.After Fu Zhong signed a name, he put the pen next to the ink-blotting table next to him, picked up his phone and looked at it.Immediately after the second call came in, the familiar voice appeared again: "'Scavenger' is gone."
"I know. You're all right?"
"What's wrong with me? If there is a problem, it's the one who was taken away. She was beaten up, so pitiful. But she is just a tool person created by the molecular recombination system, and it doesn't seem to have any effect. The molecular recombination system took a group of The fool's eyes are blinded."
"Because we have been fooled by it before, we know how powerful this thing is."
"If I was actually playing, it would be more than that. I would beat them up, and they would never dare to call for help. There would be no danger for me to do so."
"Of course, you are a qualified citizen and you don't have a weapon on your body. They dare not shoot. Shooting and abusing qualified citizens are prohibited behaviors in the bill. They have to think about the rest of their lives."
Xiao Zhuoming stood on the porthole, with one hand in his pocket.She stood here just in time to see the transport plane of the "Scavenger" unit get out of the berth slot of "Air One" and head for the ground.Xiao Zhuoming saw the pictures of mice and lilies painted on the fuselage of the transport plane.
"You're really good at counting, the bastards 'scavenger' are here as expected." Xiao Zhuoming said, watching the transport plane getting farther and farther away from "Air One", she turned and left the portway indifferently, walking into another secret room.
Fu Zhong nodded: "Then I have to thank Minister Lin Yifeng for providing us with information."
After the magnetic door was closed, a white ceiling light lit up in the secret room. A glass room about the size of the negative pressure observation room in Laboratory No. [-] was located in the center of the secret room, but it was obvious at a glance that the place was built temporarily.After all the lights were turned on, Xiao Zhuoming took a good look at the surrounding environment. This place is located in the central control area of the "Sky One" laboratory, where the mainframe of the supercomputer is stored.
Xiao Zhuoming raised her eyebrows and pressed the line of her lips. Her expression was a little surprised, probably because she was shocked by the environment she was in.She quickly retracted her gaze, walked towards the glass room, and said: "If you meet Mr. Lin Yifeng, please tell him that the mainframe storage in the 'Air One' laboratory of the Equipment Department is very good; if you come across When you get to Ms. Bai Zhu, please tell her that her molecular reorganization system has provided us with timely help; if you meet Professor Qi Mingli, please tell him that his memory modification technology is a very remarkable invention."
"I will tell them." Fu Zhong added, "Professor Qi Mingli revealed the secret of the reformed person to me, as well as the original envelope provided by Wu Jici's lawyer."
Xiao Zhuoming laughed, and she put on protective clothing for herself: "Then it's a long list to list one by one. Who is Lawyer Wu Jici? What's the matter with that envelope? The group of 'scavengers' came today Searching my lab, they seem to be looking for some documents, and that envelope."
Fu Zhong nodded, and turned a magnet ornament on the table, which was also left by the previous inspector.Fu Zhong lightly touched the floating dish-shaped gizmo with his fingers, watched it shake unsteadily, and said, "Wu Jici is Bai Zhu's lawyer. She works with Bai Zhu's money and has a lot of money in her hand. Evidence of Tang Lin and Constantine's crimes. She had contact with Tang Lin before, don't worry, she is from our side."
"That envelope represents the Tang family, right?"
"Not only does it represent the Tang family, have you seen the seal badge? It represents the Lulang sect. There are many families under one sect, and the Tang family is just one of them."
Xiao Zhuoming put on the protective clothing and stood at the door for a while. She took a moment to think about the relationship here.After a while, she wrinkled her nose, frowned and lingered for a while, then nodded and said, "I know what you want to do."
Fu Zhong laughed, and after a while he said, "I remembered a joke."
"What joke?"
"A group of bandits intercepted the darts. When confronted afterwards, the bandits said: 'We have never robbed the foreign goods you brought from Lingnan.' The owner said: 'But we have never announced that our goods are Bought from foreigners.'”
After speaking, he stopped, he wanted to wait for Xiao Zhuoming to express something.After a while, Xiao Zhuoming smiled softly and said, "That's what you want to do now, right?"
"'Scavenger' was ordered to go to 'Sky One' today. It is self-evident who ordered this unit directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Public Security. The Minister of Public Security Zheng Dongyi and Tang Lin came from the same division. They are now sure Allied."
Xiao Zhuoming didn't intend to enter the observation room immediately, she stood outside and watched for a while, there was a cryogenic cabin in the observation room, Lin Cheng was leaning on the pillow and typing on the keyboard with his hands raised.The Lin Cheng here is different from the Lin Cheng in the No. [-] laboratory. The Lin Cheng here looks a little more energetic, but his two arms with outstretched sleeves are still skinny.Nutritional recovery is not that easy.Xiao Zhuoming looked at Lin Cheng, Lin Cheng ignored her, he was concentrating on dealing with things on the computer.
In the end, Xiao Zhuoming didn't open the door to go in. She took a step aside and walked calmly: "I heard the news that the 'scavenger' unit was originally planned to be under the direct leadership of the Central Military Commission and the State Council."
Fu Zhong picked up the fountain pen that he had put down just now, turned over a piece of paper full of nonsense, and started drawing casually behind his back—he was not used to leaving his hands empty, he had to find something to do for himself.Fu Zhong's complexion didn't change because of Xiao Zhuoming's words, although he knew what the words meant, there was always 30% suspicion between people.Fu Zhong leaned on the back of his chair, looked at the pen in his hand, and said, "The Military Commission doesn't take on such dirty work. The army is for the outside world, and the army will not point its guns at its own people."
"I don't know that the "Resolution on the Compulsory Clearance of Remaining Residents" is a bad idea thought up by that clever head. How could they do this? It's ridiculous. Every day tens of thousands of people are detained in concentration camps for forced clearing. There will be more and more."
"Four-fifths of the seats in the Great Hall are occupied by the asses of the fugitives. Tell me who came up with this kind of resolution. The remaining one-fifth will be crowded out. In our The unseen place has long been in chaos. The gang disputes in the government's meeting hall have never stopped, and the wind of public opinion is swaying like weeds on the wall. Those who can run away have long since run away. The chaotic is always chaotic, only The people can save the people."
"Oh." Xiao Zhuoming covered his eyes and rubbed, then spread his hands, "How did it become like this. Lin Cheng is like this, he will be found sooner or later. And it will take some time for him to recover."
Fu Zhong was silent, but the pen in his hand didn't stop.It was cold in the office, and there was a heater on the desk.The snow outside the window was getting bigger and bigger, and finally it was connected into one piece and rolled over fiercely from the sea.Fu Zhong looked at the clock on the wall, it was almost dinner time.
The pattern drawn on the paper gradually revealed its outline. Fu Zhong drew a snake and a wolf's head with antlers.His pen tip paused at the snake's eyes for a while, and then he continued to draw, saying: "So today, Lincheng can be saved by doing this. Some people with ulterior motives want to prevent us from fighting the 'dragon blood pollution', and they finally The one who wants to attack is you, and Lin Cheng. You are an expert in this research, and Lin Cheng is the first infected person."
"I can understand the relationship here, and I know what kind of situation I am in. I just can't figure it out. At this time, there are still many people who will choose to stop us from fighting the 'dragon blood pollution'. I can't understand."
"Don't speculate on the intentions of politicians with your doctor's mentality. Maybe they are now thinking about how to use 'dragon blood pollution' to wipe out a group of people with little effort. Such people abound, especially At the conference table."
"Well, we have different positions, so don't try to correct the other party's thinking. Let's not talk about this, let's talk about today's affairs. You can guarantee the safety of Lin Cheng and me, right?"
Fu Zhong did not deny: "Of course, you are a very important part, and now the whole North Pole is counting on you."
Xiao Zhuoming laughed, "Someone among us is going to be the savior."
"You'll be a real hero. Your remodeling pods have been used in medical centers in various military locations, and people there say you're a hero."
"Will my name be engraved on the monument?"
"Maybe."
Xiao Zhuoming nodded: "The mobile phone that was left in the laboratory just now was taken away by the 'scavenger'."
"I know, I just want them to take it away. I located the phone in another place, and if they want to check the call records, they will only find the wrong place. Then let them go about their business." Fu Zhong said, He outlines the scales of the snake and the edges of the antlers, "If they really look into it, it means they have a guilty conscience, 'dragon blood pollution', 'reformed people'... I have enough materials, and the media likes this If they don't act, they will be charged with violent law enforcement, beating qualified citizens, illegal search, and confiscated items. All the evidence is with me, and I plan to drag the Minister of Public Security into it. Enough to beat them up."
"What if they spread the word about an outbreak in the Arctic? Said it was caused by a virus we released on purpose. They're not going to sit still, they're going to attack us when they get a chance."
"They won't do that, because it's not good for them. At seven o'clock tonight, news about the Arctic epidemic will explode in major newspapers, online platforms, and news outlets. I tried my best to suppress the news before This day. If they really do this, then I will announce to the public that Dr. Xiao Zhuoming is the only person who can save this epidemic, because you have first-hand information on 'Dragon Blood', and 'Scavenger' tied The only doctor who can cure the disease is gone, and the experimental body is destroyed. Think about it, how will the public react?"
"You have everything planned, right?"
"At least I have to think about a way to rescue myself."
"They will definitely attack, and the means will not be too bad. Maybe there are situations you didn't expect. The old foxes are smart. You have to be careful."
Fu Zhong stared silently at the white paper under his brush, a black and white painting was about to be completed.Fu Zhong put down his pen and tapped on the table, making a rattling sound, and said, "As long as there are no traitors among us, then everything can be resolved."
Xiao Zhuoming felt that it was almost done, she turned her head to look at Lin Cheng, Lin Cheng didn't press the keyboard, he was leaning on the soft cushion and squinting his eyes to rest.Xiao Zhuoming knew that he was awake.After she went through the disinfection procedure and entered the observation room, Lin Cheng raised his eyelids and glanced at her.
"All done?" Xiao Zhuoming asked him through the protective mask.
Lin Cheng lay back again, closed his eyelids, and hummed lightly: "The surveillance video has been processed. Other positioning and recordings have also been arranged."
"Is your body okay? Is there anything unusual?" Xiao Zhuoming glanced at the monitor next to him, which showed that Lin Cheng still had a low fever.
"Excellent. It feels so good to be alive." Lin Cheng said, his lips were slightly pressed together when he spoke, and his voice carried the sound from his throat, "The sword is not old."
Just now Xiao Zhuoming suggested that he use a robotic arm controlled by his brain to complete computer operations, but Lin Cheng refused.Lin Cheng prefers to do things with his own fingers, which allows him to find a real and familiar feeling.He slept in the freezer cabin for too long, and the world was changed when he woke up.Next to Lin Cheng's pillow was a book and a stack of documents.The cover of the book reads "On Peace and the Human Spirit".
Xiao Zhuoming gestured and asked Lin Cheng, "Do you want to talk to your friend?"
Lin Cheng said: "Didn't we talk about it outside just now? We had a good chat."
"Oh." Xiao Zhuoming nodded and turned to the intercom, "You can hang up, Inspector."
"Wait a minute." Lin Cheng said again, "I have one more thing."
Xiao Zhuoming's gaze shifted back, seeing that Lin Cheng was about to lift himself up from the pillow, he went to help him, and then adjusted the auxiliary respirator inserted in his throat.The infusion tube hanging next to the cryogenic cabin wobbled, a bottle of medicine was almost finished, Xiao Zhuoming transferred the call to the Lincheng headset, and then went to replace him with a new bottle of medicine.Lin Cheng put his hands together, there were many thin tubes stuck in his body.He just kept his eyes open, half asleep, as if the tubes had sucked the flesh out of him.
Fu Zhong greeted Lin Cheng, and he heard Lin Cheng cough twice.After taking a few breaths, Lin Cheng felt that he could speak, and then said, "When can I go down?"
"Did you mean to come down to the ground? Soon. Now Dr. Xiao Zhuoming's authority to return to the ground is banned, but I will solve this problem soon. Don't worry, Dr. Xiao will bring you down then. "
"How soon?"
"Maybe a few hours, maybe a few days. It won't be long. You just need to lie down and sleep, and open your eyes to find that you are already in the ice and snow of the Arctic."
Lin Cheng's jaw tightened for a moment, and then he coughed again. Xiao Zhuoming helped him adjust the contraction frequency of the respirator.Lin Cheng's ears were flushed due to suffocation and difficulty breathing, this color looked a bit scary against his pale skin.
Fu Zhong knew that he couldn't intervene now, and Xiao Zhuoming would take care of everything.The heater on the desk made his hands a little hot, but the heating in the room was still only a thin layer, and the ice crystals on the glass had just been removed, and now they covered a few windows.After Fu Zhong finished his last stroke, he put down his hand and turned off the heater.There is a soda can on the opposite window sill, and Fu Zhong can see a small ice shelf from the gap between the innermost bay window and the signal tower outside.
After looking at the painting for a while, Lin Cheng's voice reappeared from the earphones: "Dr. Xiao said that I have to observe for at least another week, but I'm much better now. It's a miracle. I won't be forcibly removed, right? "
"Of course not. If you don't want to, no one will arrest you and send you to a concentration camp. We must have a hacker here. You are Stephen Hawking among hackers. Get rid of the paralyzed part." Fu Zhong said.
"Come on, man, I'm an executive by profession, I'm not some Stephen Hawking of hackers!"
Fu Zhong wiped the ink line on the paper with his thumb, and left a small black ink stain on his finger: "You are not an executive now, they think that your physical condition is no longer suitable for this job, and they put you Temporarily removed from the executive list."
"What?" Lin Cheng's body moved, indicating that he was very emotional now, Xiao Zhuoming saw the curve on the monitor fluctuate violently.
"You are not an official member of the Executive Department now." Fu Zhong said, "It is July, and you have slept in the cryogenic cabin for three full months, so of course you have been removed from the Executive Department. Oh, and one more thing I forgot By the way, the "Regulations" of the Time Bureau have also changed a lot."
"Didn't we only correct it once when we entered the game? We had to recite the whole book, and there was a fucking test after that. I only got a B."
"But it has been changed again now. Everything serves the black hole crisis and the future of mankind. When you have time, you should find the latest version of the regulations and take a good look. You will find that it is a wise choice to leave the time bureau."
Lin Cheng looked at the ceiling above, and didn't speak for a while.It takes him a few minutes to accept this fact.The world has changed drastically, and 100 years have passed as soon as the eyes are opened and closed.Lights were lit on the ceiling of the observation room, and sirens were mounted next to the lamp sockets.Ever since Lin Cheng woke up, he could only see these lights and the siren every day when he opened his eyes.In a trance, he felt that he had fallen into the gap of time, he was being melted by something, he was floating like this, everything was nothingness.
After a while, he withdrew his thoughts, Lin Cheng knew that now he had to take a step forward.Xiao Zhuoming sorted out the reagent kits in front of the cabinet next to her, and then turned off all unnecessary instruments. She had to get ready to get the observation room out of the host storage and find a new laboratory.Lin Cheng felt very tired, and he still had a low-grade fever, his eyelids were hot and hot, like two irons leaning together.Lin Cheng took a long breath, he wanted to close his eyes and rest, but decided to try his best: "You and my dad partnered to get me out of the executive department, right?"
Fu Zhong gave him an affirmative answer, because this is the fact.Lin Cheng's whole body was lying relaxed on the soft pillow. He was silent all the time. Fu Zhong could only hear his long breathing in the earphones, so he judged that Lin Cheng was at least still alive.
"See you then, Brother Seven." Lin Cheng finally said.
"See you."
"Take a message to Wei Shanhua and say that I will always miss him."
"He's always missed you, too."
Lin Cheng smiled, but he didn't seem to be smiling."That would be the best," he said.
Fu Zhong hung up the phone, but he didn't take off the headset.He picked up his phone and looked at the lock screen wallpaper, he saw Ji Yao in the photo, and the rose flower behind him.Fu Zhong always looks at this photo every day, and he can always find many great things in it.
The ink on the paper was all dry, and the table top gradually became cold after the heater was turned off, and it would be as cold as a piece of iron in a few minutes. This kind of place can't keep a trace of warmth.Fu Zhong picked up the piece of paper, held it in his hand and looked at it quietly.In the picture, the wolf head with antlers is tightly entangled by a poisonous snake. The snake's eyes are showing a fierce light, and the snake's open mouth shows a letter, and it is fighting with the wolf's teeth.
This painting made Fu Zhong look at it for a long time. He didn't have any expression on his face, but just silently stared at the eyes of the two animals in the pattern. He saw the blade and joy in these eyes.He reconfirmed the meaning of what he did, and he had to remind himself from time to time to pay attention to the direction he was going, just like a sailor waking up from sleep, whether he wakes up from sleep or from a state of absent-mindedness, he must see Look at his compass main bearing.Even if it is not within the usual course, at least it can ensure that the direction of navigation is correct.
He glanced at the time through the end of his eyes, the minute hand was pointing to the hour.Fu Zhong twisted the edge of the paper for the last time, then crumpled the poisonous snake and wolf into a ball, and threw it lightly into the trash can next to it.He sat up straight and put the cap on the pen, and then he could smell the cold, faint scent of ink wafting in the room, which came from the inkwell next to it.In front of the inkwell, there is a metal nameplate with "Dear Comrade Xi Jianwen" engraved on it.
Now he has changed from the unknown 0578 to the respected "Comrade Xi Jianwen".
Fu Zhong glanced at the nameplate, but didn't stay too long.He knows who he is, whether he is respected or not is another matter.Fu Zhong took off the overcoat on the armchair and put it on, turned off the lights in the office and walked out the door.He wanted to go to dinner, but before that he decided to stop by the medical department, wondering what happened to the bad guy he smashed into the pizza a few hours ago and broke the bridge of his nose.When Fu Zhong thinks of him, he thinks of anchovy pizza.Fu Zhong hates anchovies the most.
The doctor came out of the ward and said to Fu Zhong through a layer of protective glass: "He is infected and has no symptoms yet."
This answer satisfied Fu Zhong, but it was only temporary.Standing outside the protective glass, Fu Zhong saw someone coming out of the ward, two guards escorting a man in a hospital gown, followed by several doctors.Fu Zhong recognized who was in the hospital gown, the pizza sauce on his face was washed off, and the bridge of his nose was smeared with medicine.This look is a bit embarrassing, but he still looks like he is defiant.
He's finished, Fu Xin thought, that's about it for him.
"Well, just keep him in the isolation area and don't let him out until he recovers." Fu Zhong said, he watched the guard escort the man down the stairs, so he looked away and prepared to leave.
But the doctor added: "I'm afraid he won't recover."
Fu Zhong's desire to leave here was suppressed a little, but he didn't answer, just looking at the doctor like this.
The doctor hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Although I know that we have many authoritative and experienced infectious disease experts here, and they have also conducted research on this disease...but you know, the onset time is not accurate. Regularity, some infected people exploded while walking on the road. Many doctors and nurses have been frightened by the scene of blood and flesh. This is no exaggeration, because I have seen it with my own eyes. It’s not that I can’t believe it Expert, I just feel like... we can't make it, time is running against us, we can't catch up. Can you understand?"
"I can understand." Fu Zhong nodded, "Time is racing against each of us. I used to work in the Time Bureau, so I can understand what you mean."
The doctor propped up his back, turned his head and squinted his eyes to see the people coming and going in the corridor. A man with a bruised nose and a swollen face was sitting on a chair, crying and talking.The man in orange clothes was cleaning the large bloodstains on the ground with a bucket and mop, while the wall on the other side was splashed with blood everywhere. Two guards with guns carried one end of the body bag and walked away quickly. opened.Fu Zhong knew what was in the body bag.
The doctor opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't say it.He turned around and gestured to Fu Zhong, wanting him to see the situation of the medical department on the other side of the protective glass.The doctor said, "Can Inspector Chief understand our situation?"
"I know what's going on in the monitoring platform, and I can understand your current mood. Don't worry, doctor, I will take care of it, and everyone will have a bright future."
"We don't think about the future, Inspector. Now is not the time to think about the future. What we need is a vaccine, or a cured patient. But now we have neither, we have nothing." The doctor's eyes suddenly filled with water, as if I was stimulated by what Fu Zhong said.But he didn't let the tears flow down. Through the mask of his protective clothing, it can be seen that he is trying to restrain his emotions at this time, his jaw is tense, and the flesh of his cheeks is also bulging.
Fu Zhong swept across his face, he didn't dare to look into the doctor's eyes, people who were crying always made him feel flustered, and this flustered feeling would overwhelm him.Fu Zhong blinked a few times, and he scanned the scene behind the doctor.The man with the bruised nose was taken away by another nurse, and the cleaner in the orange clothes packed the bucket and left, all traces were wiped away except the blood on the wall.That blood is the proof.The light was still on, and the light illuminated only the darkness.
The doctor was still talking, he spread his hands as if complaining.Fu Zhong looked away and heard the sound of the north wind whistling.He put his hand on the glass and said: "There will be a vaccine soon, and experts who specialize in this disease will also come. They are just encountering a little trouble now, and it will be resolved soon. By then It is our turn to gain the upper hand. Take heart, doctor, we will not be defeated here."
"My God." The doctor said, and Fu Zhong saw a thin line of tears hanging on one side of his cheek.The doctor's pager rang, and he answered and said a few words, then hurried away.Immediately afterwards, Fu Zhong saw someone rushing towards the emergency room pushing the hospital bed.
Fu Zhong didn't leave quickly, he walked into a small corridor outside the medical department, and suddenly couldn't move his feet.Fu Zhong leaned against the wall, a thick melancholy hit him in the deserted corridor.On one side of the corridor is an open glass window, Fu Zhong sees his own reflection in the window, and he sees himself more in the window than in the mirror.Fu Zhong knew why he was depressed, he looked at the fake shadow opposite, and thought of some other people.
He thought of Professor Geng Shuming who was crying because he lost a student, and the draftsman whose neck was pierced by a sniper. Fu Zhong thought of the blood all over his body.After a while, he saw Bunny in the interrogation room, the guy who was following him, and the expression on that guy's face.Ji Yao's back, mother's tombstone.Fu Zhong covered his face, he arched his body, as if he was about to fall down.In the long narrow corridor, only the overhead light was with him at this time. The other end of the corridor seemed to be connected to the back of time, and those lost things would come back along this road.
The wind beat against the windows like a group of strange guests making noise.Fu Zhong finally sat on the metal chair next to him, leaned his head against the wall, and closed his eyes as if he was asleep.He put away all thoughts in his mind and only thought about the snow, so thick and pure white.
The black Wrangler was driving along the national road outside Dongping National Forest Park. The metasequoia planted beside the roadbed were all old trees, and there were still fluffy leaves hanging on many branches.The branches of metasequoia are thin and dense, like fluff that has just grown from a straight trunk, and they are stretched like this.Behind the barrier of metasequoia was a patch of white birch, and the avenue, covered with wet fine sand, led to an orchard of lilacs and elms.
There are no vehicles on the national road, and the places covered by trees are lifeless. Metasequoia East Road and Metasequoia West Road are only separated by a 30-meter-wide green belt.There was no snow, the Wrangler's headlights were bright, and the police patrolling in the sky lowered the helicopter and followed them for a while, and then flew away after confirming the identity of the person in the car.The road turned at a T-shaped intersection, then entered Caochang Road, and finally drove towards Huanhu Avenue.The headlights illuminated a small bridge between two clumps of junipers, across which the artificial lake could be seen.
The car slowed down sharply as it approached, because the road ahead was full of roadblocks, the driver had to slow down and drive carefully.After a jolt, the car approached the wooden bridge, but a figure appeared in the place illuminated by the light beam, walking up from behind the juniper trees on the side of the bridge.
The Wrangler stopped.The driver didn't turn off the lights, and the man turned around when he got to the middle of the bridge. The bright and dazzling light illuminated Bai Zhu's face.Bai Zhu didn't wear jewelry, nor did he wear a coat with a silver fox fur scarf.She was wearing the black and white camouflage combat uniform of the Falcon Commando, and the black and white wings badge was shining in the middle of the black beret pressed on her head.Bai Zhu was expressionless, with deep wrinkles on his face.Holding a gun in her hand, she stood on the bridge with her feet shoulder-width apart and looked at the black off-road vehicle not far away.
