Thrive in Catastrophe

The two came to the table, and Xiao Yan ordered an apple pie and French fries, which were not Jane's favorite food either.

This guy hates any terminally programmed food because it tastes the same.

Pushing the beer in front of Jian's forehead, the guy only took a sip before showing a disgusted expression, propping his chin in boredom, but not looking into Xiao Yan's eyes.

"Hey! Don't be angry! When the time is right, I'll tell you what's going on! Please don't tell anyone what you saw!"

"Don't you want me to report this matter to Major General Gordon? Major General Gordon is my superior, and I have the obligation and responsibility to report your matter. I don't care if it's the X virus or something else that gives you power, once this If something hurts your body..."

Xiao Yan quickly reached out and pressed Jane's mouth. Although there were only a few people sitting here and there in the restaurant at this time, Xiao Yan knew that with the hearing ability of a special soldier, he could hear what Jane said clearly.

"Listen, if this ever got out... The Surge might stop at nothing to get my head off."

Jane sighed, looked at Xiao Yan very seriously and said: "So I should report to my superiors. If you feel that you can't tell me everything, then report to Major General Gordon. This is not just to satisfy your personal wishes Xiao Yan, your life is not only important to Shire, but also to me personally."

After narrowing his eyes and pondering for a while, Xiao Yan replied, "If you must report...then give me three months."

"Three months?" Jane stared at Xiao Yan, his expression was calm and full of vigilance, "Impossible! Do you know how many things can happen in three months? Major General Gordon gave me the order to guard a certain platform for three months , and I lost a third of my subordinates in the past three months!"

Xiao Yan froze for a moment, and then remembered the biochemical weapon developed by the tide organization that made the special forces lose their breathing function.

Although I knew that they sacrificed a lot of special forces, I didn't expect that there were as many as one-third, not to mention that Jane's troops must be equipped with elites.

The reason why Jane reacted so strongly to herself was also because she didn’t want to lose him again.

"A month... a month is not enough?"

Jane closed her eyes and turned her head away, as a tacit consent.

"Thank you!"

"Then really thank me."

"what?"

The moment Xiao Yan was in a daze, Jane's fingers hooked his chin and approached him slowly.

Jane propped up on the table with one hand and held the beer in the other, Xiao Yan froze on the spot.Jane's side profile was very beautiful, he already possessed a charming temperament, Xiao Yan's heart suddenly sank.

The moment the tip of his tongue touched his, Xiao Yan's back stiffened unconsciously. Before Jane could actually kiss him, Xiao Yan frowned and swung his head vigorously, subconsciously put his elbow on Jane's shoulder, and then turned around At that moment, Jane pressed Xiao Yan's shoulder with one hand, and clasped the back of Xiao Yan's head with the other, easily defusing his attack.Jane's fingers were inserted into his hair, and Xiao Yan's constantly tightening embrace finally made Xiao Yan lose the strength to breathe.From the beginning to the end, Xiao Yan pressed his lips tightly, but Jane just looked down at his brow.

"Are you in love with Heine Burton?"

He broke free from Jane's arms, or Jane finally let him go.

"You said... what?" Xiao Yan stared at Jane, his clenched fists were full of anger, he thought that Jane was like Maya, after experiencing countless dangerous moments, this man could treat him as a brother and a comrade in arms, Rather than being a rookie researcher who is looked down upon and can be used as a joke at any time, if he has a potion in his hand, he will give himself an injection without any doubt, and then give Jane Wallis some color!

"He's saved you so many times, hasn't he? You adore him. Even closer than adoration, you're attracted to him. Even the way you try to get rid of me is like that guy."

Xiao Yan's active thoughts suddenly froze at that moment, and his heartbeat was stopped.

He looked into Jane's eyes, but couldn't say a word.

He thought he was hiding it well, but Jane Wallis, the guy he hadn't seen for almost half a year, easily revealed the secret deep in his heart.

"It's hard not to be attracted to him."

Xiao Yan doesn't intend to cover up in front of Jane, because once he covers up, this guy will expose himself even more arrogantly.

"Some people also said that it's hard not to be attracted to me. But you are indifferent to me like you are born immune."

Jane put down her beer and stood up, nodding and smiling with a demeanor that made people feel emotional.

"Heine Burton made you forget one thing."

"what's up?"

"I almost kissed you just now."

Only then did Xiao Yan realize that he was about to get angry with this guy, but when this guy mentioned Hai Yin, he forgot everything.

At this moment, Jane put her hands in the pockets of the military uniform and left. Standing at the door of the restaurant, he turned around slowly, with the usual lazy smile on his lips: "Next time you will use the method Heine Burton taught you. anything against me, and I promise I'll break your arm."

Xiao Yan pursed his lips and rubbed his head. This guy...why does he always come to him to verify his charm?

Even if I am attracted by Heine, you are still irreplaceable to me.

I will always remember the sound of your bones cracking. It may be insignificant to you, but it hurts every time I think of it.

Only the research on X-2 can make Xiao Yan concentrate. If the research is successful, when he tells Jane that he doesn't need to squander every day as if it is the end, maybe this guy will show a different expression.

At that moment, a certain flash of light flashed in Xiao Yan's mind - the X virus can adapt to the human body, but the X-2 cannot. Get it back and transform it.

With an idea in mind, Xiao Yan walked towards his research room very excitedly.In the tunnel, Xiao Yan noticed that special forces were being mobilized. Although they were not Heine's troops, he had a vague feeling that something was about to happen.Maybe it's because the peaceful days have passed for too long, Xiao Yan has forgotten that this world is not safe, even in the impenetrable city of Shire.

There was a guard team walking towards him, and Maya was at the forefront.This guy's face was solemn, and he didn't see the heartless smile in the past.

"Maya?" Xiao Yan paused in front of him, "Did something happen?"

Maya smiled reassuringly, and patted Xiao Yan's shoulder with her palm, "It's nothing, the tide organization has always been restless. Don't worry."

Even so, Xiao Yan could vaguely feel that the atmosphere of the special task forces was much more tense than the previous few days.But whatever happened, his first priority was to do his own research.

Two minutes later, Heine Burton walked into Major General Gordon's office.Your Excellency the Major General, who always likes to enjoy leisure time with a cup of black tea, got straight to the point without extra greetings.

"Colonel Burton, our base in Antarctica has been besieged by the Tide Organization."

Major General Gordon leaned on the desk with his back to Heine. Although he couldn't see his expression, his low tone indicated that this matter was no small matter.The recent frequent mobilization of special mission forces is to strengthen the defense of several other research bases.

But no matter from which point of view, the Antarctic base is a very special existence.Because of the low temperature, the polar regions are the only places on earth where there are no zombies.The most primitive comet virus is sleeping under the Antarctic ice sheet.In order to monitor comet viruses, Shire has established a high-end scientific research base in Antarctica, and has two special task forces stationed all year round. The most sophisticated scientific research team besides Shire has been engaged in research at the Antarctic base for decades. , and continuously transmit very precious data back to Shire.

"Because Antarctica has the most primitive and unmutated comet virus, it is of vital reference value for the development of a complete X virus."

"But Shire has to give up the Antarctic base. It is too far away from Shire, and it is very difficult to defend and supply. As long as the tide continues to attack, the Antarctic base will not be able to keep it sooner or later. What do you think?"

"Strategically speaking, the Antarctic base does not have any value. But from the perspective of virus research, it is like a chicken rib. The cost of defense is too high but it does not create corresponding value. Giving up rashly is tantamount to giving up. Unpredictable research potential."

Major General Gordon nodded, "According to the report of Colonel Luther, the commander of the Antarctic base, the next attack by the Tide Organization will occur within 24 hours. We must evacuate all the garrison personnel and obtain enough supplies before the base is captured." Comet virus samples. The military department and the Central Academy of Sciences held a meeting. The history of the Antarctic base is even longer than that of Shire. We have conducted research on the origin of comet viruses for so many years, and we have all the valuable information. The tide needs the comet virus, but it also wants to develop a complete X virus, and it is of no value to us to stick to it."

"Your Excellency, please tell me directly what my mission is." Such an important decision did not shake Heine's expression a bit. It was such a calm and calm attitude that made Major General Gordon always put Heine Burton in the most trusted position. position.

"This time, your mission is to protect the troops from the Antarctic base to successfully evacuate. In addition... the Antarctic environment is delicate, and it is simply a miracle of nature that the comet virus can be kept in a stable state for tens of thousands of years. Lieutenant General Ewell means , he will send a researcher from Shire to do the final field research on the stable comet virus in the remaining time. What do you think of Lieutenant Colonel Casey?"

"Your Excellency will ask such a question, which shows that you are not worried about Lieutenant Colonel Casey going."

Major General Gordon chuckled, "Lieutenant Colonel Casey does have strong research capabilities, but he has no experience of leaving Shire for field trips, and he has no ability to respond to unforeseen dangers. Of course, I also know that no matter the Central Academy of Sciences You can protect any researcher you send. It’s just that time is limited. We must choose the person who can do the most extensive and in-depth research in the shortest time. This person is likely to determine the future of Shire. I give You have three seconds to tell me who you have in mind."

"Xiao Yan." Hein didn't think about it at all when he said this name.

The so-called "three seconds" is actually superfluous.

Major General Gordon nodded, "I will tell that fellow Ewell that only Second Lieutenant Xiao Yan can maximize the efficiency of this mission. Go ahead, Heine."

"Yes, Your Excellency." Hein gave a military salute and walked out of the office.

At this time, Xiao Yan felt depressed because of the lack of progress in his research.He had a deep premonition that another stable homologous virus must provide parameters in order to develop a stable X-2.The real most valuable reference is the "comet" sleeping under the Antarctic ice sheet.

Xiao Yan, with a closed mind, was testing the condensation gun in his research room.Of course, Xiao Yan is probably the only one in the entire Academy of Sciences who regards research on condensation guns as a pastime when the brain is tired.

He developed a pistol before, but now he is very interested in converting the condensation gun into a sniper rifle or even a gun with more powerful firepower.He explored the structure of various firearms, designed several guns and then tested them in the system.The cost of condensing agents has always been high, but fortunately, the military attaches great importance to his research laboratory, and the so-called "whatever it takes" to support his research also includes the cost.

The simulation system shows that the accuracy of an assembled sniper rifle he designed has reached the standard for military guns.

With a smile on his lips, just as Xiao Yan was about to continue his research, the terminal showed that he was out of state.

"what happened?"

After removing the interrupt connector, Xiao Yan realized that Heine was standing next to him, with a calm expression and fully armed.

"...Are you going on a mission?"

"It's our mission."

Heine knew the structure of Xiao Yan's research room like the back of his hand, and even knew exactly what research he had conducted.Opening the display, Hein neatly took out the sniper rifle that Xiao Yan had just developed, quickly disassembled it, and pinned it to his upper body.

"Hey... that's a test product!"

"Only actual combat can test them."

After Heine finished speaking, she took out all the X-2 samples and pulled Xiao Yan up from the seat.

"Put on your combat uniform."

"I want to carry out missions with you?" Xiao Yan opened his eyes wide, not like the fear and reluctance of the past, and an urge to try surged in his heart.

"Yes. You have 3 minutes to prepare." Hein raised his wrist and looked at the electronic time on the communicator.

Without saying a word, Xiao Yan took off the researcher's gown and threw it aside, and took off his military uniform neatly.

Compared with last year, Xiao Yan's figure has changed a lot.His back is straight, there is no fat in the waist, and the lines stretch out with a strong beauty, especially the muscles of the buttocks. When he lifts his legs, the lines undulate until the combat uniform covers his body.

The moment Xiao Yan looked back at Hai Yin, his heart trembled, but the other party's gaze was unshakable, and he walked in front of him.

He lowered his head slightly, pinned the gun to Xiao Yan's waist, then tightened the straps around his legs, and put the medicine box in, so that Xiao Yan could draw the medicine to inject himself at any time.In just 30 seconds, Xiao Yan's whole body equipment was exactly the same as that of ordinary special forces, except that instead of double blades he was carrying terminal equipment for technical soldiers on his back.What Xiao Yan has is more ingenious and sophisticated than ordinary special forces.

"Are you ready, Second Lieutenant?" Hein raised his head, he was very close to Xiao Yan, his warm breath passed over Xiao Yan's lips, firm and calm.

"Yes, Colonel."

Xiao Yan met He Yin's eyes without hesitation, He Yin's fingers approached, and his knuckles gently rubbed against Xiao Yan's cheek, as if he was confirming something.

With the face turned sideways, the other party's handsome facial features are close in front of him, Xiao Yan has an urge to kiss, he still remembers Heine's almost oppressive kiss when he was drunk, almost crushing himself.

"Set off."

The cool voice brings all fantasies back to reality.Xiao Yan gasped, suddenly feeling that he was an idiot.

Heine had already turned around, and the moment the sliding door opened, Mark, Liv and other special forces were waiting in the corridor.The moment Heine stepped forward with her long legs, Xiao Yan followed quickly.

Unlike many times before, Xiao Yan didn't feel that the equipment on his body was heavy, and he kept up with the entire army by his own strength.In front of him was Heine's tall and straight back. Different from the mentality of going out on missions several times before, Xiao Yan had the urge to follow this man for the first time, not caring about the destination or what to do.

Walking out of the headquarters of the special task force, Maya in front of the aircraft showed a big smile at Xiao Yan, "I should have thought about it a long time ago, the boss will not want other technical soldiers except you!"

The last time she left Shire, it was Maya who pushed Xiao Yan onto the aircraft, but this time, Xiao Yan stepped up handsomely.

The moment he lowered his head, he saw Maya's surprised expression.

"You are different from before, Xiao Yan!"

Maya's short hair was dragged by the whirlwind generated by the aircraft engine, he habitually fiddled with his hair, and then let it go angrily.

"What's the difference?"

Maya didn't answer this question, but said loudly: "Do what other researchers can't do!"

The cabin door was closed, Xiao Yan put down the safety device, he took a deep breath, this time only Heine's troops were dispatched, but Xiao Yan did not take it lightly.As long as it is performed by Heine, there is no non-dangerous mission.

"Hey, Second Lieutenant, aren't you worried about your own life?"

This was the first time Mark called Xiao Yan "Second Lieutenant".

Xiao Yan nodded honestly, and said solemnly, "You must let me live!"

Liv, who was sitting across from her, showed a hearty smile, "You will and must live."

"Alas... Antarctica... I have never been to that place except for special training!" Mark raised his head and sighed.

"What? The place where we carry out the mission is the South Pole?" Xiao Yan's eyes widened. He thought it was just the base of some tide organization, but the South Pole...the birthplace of the comet virus, Xiao Yan thought that he would never have the chance to go to that place in his life. .

"What's that expression on your face? You followed me without even knowing the mission?" Mark looked at Xiao Yan from head to toe, "Your posture is becoming more and more like a special soldier!"

Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered the scene where Heine was arranging his equipment.He is very familiar with his own habits, whether it is potions or dispensing guns, he knows where to put them most conveniently.And at the end, the feeling of his knuckles rubbing against his cheek was like a gentle blow to the heart.

"Maybe the colonel didn't introduce this operation to you because of time constraints, so let me explain it to you."

Liv's voice brought Xiao Yan back to his senses.

"This time we are mainly responsible for the evacuation of the Antarctic base."

"What? We are going to give up the Antarctic base?" Xiao Yan was completely surprised. The Antarctic base is the dream of all virologists. Although there has been no more valuable data back to Shire in recent years, they just gave up...

"Yes, because of the Tide organization. The Antarctic base successfully stopped the attack of the Tide six hours ago. Within the next eighteen hours, the Tide is likely to attack the base again. According to the news of the commander, Colonel Luther, the Tide Likely to launch 'ablation bombs' on the ice field where the base is located."

Ablative bombs are not offensive weapons, but research-type weapons that specialize in deep ablation of glaciers.Under normal circumstances, only partial ablation can be performed, but with the madness of the tide organization, if a sufficient dose of ablation bombs attacks the ice sheet where the base is located, causing the ice to melt, the base will collapse and cease to exist.

Xiao Yan frowned, and said in a deep voice: "If this is the case, our research on comet viruses will come to an end! Even if we have to abandon the Antarctic base, we must at least send research elites from the Academy of Sciences to conduct final environmental research on comet viruses !"

Liv tapped Xiao Yan's chest with her fingers, "This person is you."

Xiao Yan couldn't believe it, "What did you say? Me?"

Liv nodded, "Think to your heart's content."

At that moment, every cell in his body was filled with the excitement of eagerness to try, and he knew that his chance had come!Closing his eyes, Xiao Yan silently thought about the problem he wanted to solve, and organized his thoughts. He knew that the time he had been in contact with "Comet" was extremely short, and he had to make the most of this short time!

Mark wanted to say something, but was warned by Liv's eyes.The entire engine room fell into silence, and all the special forces tacitly created the best thinking environment for Xiao Yan.

Half an hour later, Xiao Yan looked out the window. They had already entered the frigid zone, the climate tended to be colder, the temperature dropped, and a layer of white mist formed on the window.

"Hey, Xiao Yan, when you get to Antarctica, no matter what you encounter, you can't cry!" Mark reminded loudly.

"why?"

"Because the tears will freeze on the face." Liv explained with a smile.

Finally they came to the Antarctic Circle, a pure and white world, spotless.In the ocean around the Antarctic continent, there are a large number of icebergs floating. The glaciers reflect a slice-like luster under the sun. This white continent looks holy and lonely.It is completely isolated from the world. Even when the whole earth is in a zombie crisis, as the real source of the doomsday crisis, it is still sleeping quietly and has not been disturbed at all.
