I pick up trash at the end of the day

Dr. Yuan put everyone's body data into a folder, left the medical room, walked to the end of the corridor and pressed the elevator.

"Please confirm the floor you want to go to."

Dr. Yuan pressed the gray elevator button, then took out his work ID and stuck it on.

"The identity has been verified, the floor is confirmed, the elevator door is about to close, please pay attention to safety."

The elevator door closed, and the jumping sign slowly went up. Dr. Yuan leaned against the corner of the elevator, and the incandescent light on the top reflected a layer of gray-blue light in the metal elevator.

Silent and gloomy.

Soon the elevator door opened, and two armed guards outside the door saluted Dr. Yuan. Dr. Yuan nodded, walked through the metal-covered corridor, and stood in front of a door.

There is no sign on the door, and it is difficult to find that it is a door without looking carefully.

"Knock knock knock..."

"Come in."

Through the gate, a deep man's voice came from inside the house.

The metal door opened automatically, and the wall facing it was covered by countless surveillance screens. A man in military uniform sat at the table, looking directly at the entire surveillance wall.

"You came."

"Yes, General," Dr. Yuan entered the house, and the metal door behind him closed automatically, "The routine inspection of all sentries has been completed, and their physical and mental conditions are all normal. They have been sent back to rest."

"These are not important, I just want to know the status of 1029."

"His physical indicators are normal. However, there are small fluctuations in his spirit within the normal range, which should be a precursor to the formation of binding heat. There are no other problems."

"good very good."

The general twisted open the wine bottle and poured some translucent wine into the glass, the wine stirred the ice cubes and made a crisp sound, then he took a sip from his lips, "Are all the guides prepared in advance in place? "

"It's all in place," said Dr. Yuan. "After a month of training, they already know what they should do. Afterwards, as long as 1029 successfully combines with one of them, after half a month of observation ... At the soonest, we will be able to return to the capital by the end of this month."

The general put down his glass and turned around, his back to the light, his hands folded in front of his mouth.

Dr. Yuan couldn't see the man's eyes clearly, nor could he guess what he was thinking.

His square eyes are always so old but spotless, cutting him off from everything in the world, as if he is no longer human.And the tips of his temple hair gradually climbed to white silk, which really proved that he still has traces of being a human being.

"You have to remember that 1029 is an indispensable existence for us. We must keep him in the best condition at all times. As long as he successfully combines with the guide, he will apply to return to the capital as soon as possible. All matters must be handled by him. For the most important."

"Yes, General."

Dr. Yuan knew that the general was looking at her, but she lowered her head, not daring to meet the man's gaze.

In her impression, she has never seen this man smile before. He always exudes an oppressive aura, and every word she says to him must be done with care and respect. There is no reason, it is completely out of instinct .

"Okay, let's go down, this matter will be completed by you and Dr. Aaron, and the follow-up progress will be reported to me directly."

Dr. Yuan backed away slowly, and when he turned to leave, he hesitated and stopped.

"What? Is there anything else?"

"No, it's nothing serious." The doctor hesitated for a while, and seeing the general waiting for her to speak, he said, "There is something, I think it is still necessary to report to you."

"Say."

The doctor swallowed, and hugged the folder in her arms tightly. She wanted to look up at the general, but there seemed to be a huge rock on the back of her neck, which made her unable to look up. head down.

"After the routine inspection of 1029 just now, he said that he felt something strange on the battlefield. I suspect that he may have encountered a wandering guide."

"Wandering guide?" The general raised the corners of his eyes slightly when he heard this, and asked, "Where's the person?"

"No, this is just my suspicion," Dr. Yuan explained hastily, "The other sentinels who returned from the front line did not feel the sign of the guide's presence, and none of the survivors in the safe zone survived, even if there were The guide, I'm afraid it has already..."

"Hmph, you don't need to report this kind of fruitless matter to me." The general interrupted the doctor coldly.

"Yes, General..."

The doctor pursed his lips, hesitated to speak for several times, and finally exited the door slowly: "I'm sorry to disturb you, I will leave now."

The general didn't move at all, and the cold metal door closed heavily.

Dr. Yuan stood in front of the door and didn't show signs of leaving for a long time. The folder in his hand was covered with fingerprints wet with sweat, and a moan could be heard faintly in the quiet corridor.

Obviously he deliberately emphasized the time point of the end of the month, but he did not respond after all...

Dr. Yuan lowered his head, closed his eyes tightly before his eye sockets got wet, took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly.

Father, did you finally forget my birthday?

Dr. Yuan took a deep breath, blinked his eyes vigorously, and left in the elevator as if nothing had happened, and came to the experimental area through the overpass.

The experimental area is the core area of ​​the barracks. It is mainly responsible for real-time monitoring of the physical and mental conditions of the sentries in the barracks. At the same time, it focuses on the development of sentry-specific medicines and research on zombie viruses. Surveillance cameras are installed and soldiers guard 24 hours a day.

The scientific researchers in white coats and their assistants here are busy almost day and night, aiming to provide the best material resources for the sentries on the front line, to adjust and maintain their physical condition in the best condition, and to End this global catastrophe as soon as possible.

Dr. Yuan came to the innermost room of the experimental area. After swiping the access control card, there was a large laboratory inside.

The laboratory was divided into two halves by a huge piece of tempered glass, one side was equipped with various instruments and equipment, and the other side was empty with nothing.

This is a place to check the physical status of sentries and guides and measure their compatibility. At the same time, it is also a quarantine area to suppress sentries who have fallen into a state of madness.

The tempered glass here has been specially cured, and its strength is stronger than any other wall. Even sentries cannot break it. There are many aerosol nozzles in the isolation area. These nozzles will spray calming aerosol mixed with guide guides. Stabilize the frenzied Sentinel.

The interior of the isolation area has been carefully sound-proofed, and outside sounds cannot enter the isolation area. There is only slight white noise, which is an extremely comfortable place for the sentries.

"Dr. Aaron, how are you preparing for the compatibility test later?"

"Don't worry, I'm ready."

Dr. Aaron looked back, his mid-length hair was quite flowing and messy, and his eyes and smile hidden behind the hair were full of mysterious confidence and narcissism, even a little crazy.

"I've been looking forward to this moment, hehehe, the legendary number 1029, I really want to see what kind of guide can conquer our forbidden beast?"

"Dr. Aaron, please pay attention to your words and deeds, and don't forget what our purpose is?"

"Hehehe, of course I haven't forgotten," Dr. Aaron chuckled twice, staring at the screen of the instrument and doing debugging work, "It is of course the top priority to choose a guide suitable for our warrior, but to observe the behavior of sentries and guides Combining reactions is also one of our responsibilities, isn't it? After all, the number of guides is pitifully small now, if we can invent a substitute, hee hee... wouldn't it be more convenient?"

"We've tried the alternatives, haven't we?"

Dr. Yuan frowned, and went to another instrument to make preparations: "We have tried all kinds of medicines developed by us, but the effects are not satisfactory. At most, we can only alleviate the sentry's five senses, so that their mental power can It tends to be within a stable value. Moreover, judging from the recent feedback rate of the use of medicines, the effects of various medicines are gradually declining. Without further financial and material support from the capital, is it possible for us to make better substitute medicines? ?”

"No, no, I'm not talking about medicine, but a real perfect substitute."

"What did you say?"

"Hehehe, Dr. Yuan, you should also know that the sentinel is extremely dependent on the guide, but the guide is not like that." Dr. Aaron smiled grimly, making people feel cold unconsciously: "Once the sentinel is combined with the guide, he The first mission is no longer to perform the task, but to do everything possible to protect the guide. This is an instinct engraved in the genes, and it is difficult to rewrite. Therefore, the combat capability of the sentry has been reduced. What is the meaning of our original intention? Rather, the combination of sentries and guides makes our precious combat power take care of a drag oil bottle, which is too inefficient."

"Existence is reasonable. Even if sentries and guides exist in pairs, then we should not question its rationality," Dr. Yuan said in a strong tone, "Moreover, according to the feedback from the sentries and guides who put into battle on the front line Look, their combination didn't produce the negative effects that Dr. Aaron said, so please don't jump into inferences."

"Hehehe, you woman is really rigid."

Dr. Aaron was not angry because of her words, but patiently explained slowly: "If we only rely on the things that exist in front of us, how can human beings develop? Our duty is to constantly explore the unknown things in this world , and then make them known, invent and control them in our hands, and then promote the development of human civilization. Only in this way can our weak and insignificant compatriots survive in this chaotic world, isn’t it?”

Dr. Aaron stood behind her, twirling a strand of her hair and smelling it carefully: "Besides, we invest enough resources in Sentinels every year. Although Sentinels and guides are combined, the need for Sentinels is eliminated. Auxiliary funds, but instead increased the survival funds used to maintain the guides, the conversion of the two not only did not save resources, but increased the cost of the capital, don’t you think this is unnecessary? As long as we can develop the perfect Substitutes, then the above problems will not exist, we can use a lot of funds and materials to develop more and better things, maybe one day... we may not be able to invent an instrument that controls loss, hehehe .”

"Then, I wish you your wish as soon as possible."

Dr. Yuan squinted his eyes and put down the folder in his hand, turned around and left to carry out the final debugging work.

This man named Aaron, from the first time he saw him in the capital, Dr. Yuan knew very well that this man was almost insane.

A lunatic who is more dangerous than zombies.
