Enforcer's Handbook

Chapter 268 When you stare into the abyss

The machine gunners couldn't defeat the flying dragon, which Song Lan thought was reasonable.

And after Oleg mentioned that this kind of flying mutated creature could be hatched in this pit, he knew that he was the friend under the pit.

The two waited for Oleg's team to carefully complete the finishing work. The purpose of this work was to clean up the mutated biological eggs at the entrance of the pit. Even the medical team who had only lived here for a month did not know How did these eggs appear? No matter how clean they were the day before, a pile of eggs would appear on time the next morning.

If these eggs are not cleaned before nightfall, mutated flying creatures will hatch.

Looking at the eggs that were ignited by the flamethrower, Song Lan felt pain in her heart.

But in order to prevent Oleg from turning around and rewarding him with a rocket to prove his identity, Song Lan had to suppress the idea of ​​"How about you leave an egg and I can see what the mutated creature looks like?" Go down.

It doesn't matter, it will grow back tomorrow.

He comforted himself so much.

After completing the work, Oleg took the two of them to a closed building. Before the infection outbreak, this was an indoor sports center. After a comprehensive disinfection process, it became a temporary stronghold for the medical team. .

After taking off the exoskeleton armor, Song Lan finally saw Dr. Oleg himself.

A tall man with skin tanned by the harsh climate of the "outside world", a short haircut, and his left hand replaced with a mechanical prosthesis. His first impression is more like a boxer than a doctor.

He took the two people to the conference room and said, "Our research has reached a bottleneck. If we want to obtain further information about the source of infection, we have to go deep into the potholes. However, on the one hand, we have a very clear understanding of the situation inside the potholes. No idea, on the other hand the tight space inside is not suitable for exoskeleton armor operations.”

Although they dare to take risks, it does not mean that they are going to kill people without thinking.

As a medical team, they knew very well that without the protection of the exoskeleton armor, they might not even be able to deal with the mutated citizens, let alone the unknown mutated creatures hidden deep in the pits.

Going deep into the potholes rashly is tantamount to killing someone, but they are really unwilling to give up now. This is the closest they have been to the source of infection. Oleg has a hunch that the secret about the frequent infections in third countries may be hidden at this moment. Under that pothole.

Only by investigating the source of infection itself can it be possible to fundamentally address the virus.

"Just a few days ago, Andrew ran into a pothole alone."

"Are you sure he didn't fall accidentally?"

Lu Xiang couldn't help but ask, because judging from the memo left by Andrew, he was full of complaints about Oleg and the mission itself. This did not look like he voluntarily went deep into the pothole to investigate.

Based on the information she had so far, they couldn't fully trust Oleg.

First, he stole the "Commander IV" exoskeleton armor of the dispatched troops and cut off contact with the dispatched units, which meant that he had already planned it before setting off.

"Of course not. Andrew is the bravest young man I know. He has long proposed the idea of ​​sending an exploration team deep into the pit, and volunteered to carry out exploration work, but we stopped him every time. But a few days ago , but he broke in alone when no one was paying attention."

Oleg's regretful expression did not seem to be false. He was the person closest to Andrew at the time, but he hesitated before the decision to break into the pothole to stop Andrew.

"Actually, I've been thinking about one thing every night these days."

He looked out the window of the conference room. The sun was about to set, and soon the dark night would come. This long night was the main culprit that drove the residents of the town crazy.

Oleg felt that maybe he was also crazy. "Deep in my heart, maybe there is some will, hoping that someone can break the deadlock."

Conscience and sense of responsibility made him reject Andrew's proposals again and again, but when Andrew broke into the pothole alone and created an "irresistible" reason for him, he hesitated.

When he came back to his senses, Andrew's figure had already disappeared into the dark depths of the pit.

"Andrew stayed in the pit for nearly half an hour and brought back a piece of news - in addition to the corrupted nests, there was also the atmosphere of human life under the pit. Those people seemed to have returned to their primitive life. There are murals carved on the walls, which seem to be worshiping something, and they seem to call them ‘mother’s descendants’.”

In fact, no one in the team expected that Andrew would come back, and the news he brought back was indeed of groundbreaking significance.

At least, for the first time, they realized what they were facing.

"I suspect that the entire underground pit is the 'Mother's Nest'. The things that those people worship are hidden in the deepest part of the nest. Andrew's return has given us confidence. We have already started planning to explore deep into the pit. But that night, Andrew put on the exoskeleton and ran out."

They all agreed that they should never go out after nightfall.

Oleg read the information in the memo. Andrew mentioned in the memo that he escaped because he was worried that others would find out that he was infected, but this was obviously inconsistent with what they learned.

"Are you sure Andrew was already infected when you met him?"

Oleg asked seriously.

"I'm sure. The skin on my face has festered away. I have completely lost my mind. I don't even know how to get out of the exoskeleton armor... Why do you ask?"

"Because on the day Andrew came back, we conducted six physical examinations on him, and the results were that he showed no signs of infection."

Oleg looked solemn, this was exactly the news he least wanted to hear.

How could they, as a medical team, not give Andrew a full physical after he returned from the pothole? Andrew himself knows the results of all physical examinations, so logically speaking, it is impossible for him to have the ideas in his memo, unless...

"Unless he encountered something else in the pothole that caused him to go insane, we are sure that there was no sign of infection on his body before he left here. The infection should have happened after he left here. .”

And this seems to confirm another guess in his mind, "The closer you are to the source of infection, the easier it is to become mentally disturbed. This is also one of the symptoms of infection. We can only conduct physical examinations on the body, but we cannot know whether the infected person is mentally healthy or not." It was affected.”

If this conjecture is true, then they will never be able to understand the nature of the "mother".

Because even if they did reach the deepest part of the lair, they would probably have gone crazy.

"Then leave it to us to investigate."

Song Lan volunteered.

In order to have a more friendly communication with the "Mother", he wished that Oleg and others would not follow him.

"You guys?"

"Uni-President Technology has long thought that a similar situation might occur, so it has equipped the exoskeleton armor with special countermeasures equipment. This is the latest technology of Uni-President Technology...the power of 'Destroyer Type I'."

Forty-six of the small theater:

Thursday, a certain day, a certain year, a certain month, in the afternoon.

This day is the day when wages are paid in the department. According to tradition, at this time of every month, Song Lan invites Lu Xiang to have a meal at the most upscale local restaurant.

According to his observation, food may be Lu Xiang's only interest in life.

She was always in a particularly good mood that day, smiling at everyone she met.

Whenever she finished her dinner, Lu Xiang would sigh, "Your level is no worse than that of a high-end restaurant."

This is because Song Lan's level is still improving.

He used the few subjective initiatives in his life on this, and the recipes for dinner every day were carefully prepared.

Lu Xiang always felt that he was an executive chef who was delayed by the coalition government.

"Mr. Song Lan."

After coming out of the high-end restaurant, Lu Xiang deliberately imitated the tone of the reporter's interview and asked, "Where does your motivation come from?"

"power?"

Song Lan thought for a while and replied, "Maybe it's because I am too busy at work in the afternoon. I can think about what to eat for dinner for two hours."

When you spend more than two hours every day thinking about what to eat for dinner, you can also prepare an exquisite recipe.

But this was obviously not the answer Lu Xiang wanted to hear. An orange light flashed in her eyes, and then Song Lan's cell phone rang.

After Song Lan took a look at the content of the message, Lu Xiang asked again, "I'll give you another chance to answer this question again."

"About this issue." Song Lan coughed slightly and changed into a formal tone for interviews, "First of all, I want to thank my wife..."
