Chapter 502: Another power outage
Takehiko Onoda was talking about a philosophy of life that sounded very reasonable. He heard slight footsteps coming from behind. He subconsciously turned around and saw a man wearing a pressure The girl wearing a very low baseball cap and big sunglasses walked out of the small pavilion covered by flowers and plants. She stopped when she saw the people there, as if she was hesitating whether to come over.
With many years of experience as a reporter, Onoda Takehiko recognized at first glance that this was a standard 'celebrity disguise'. Who would be a normal person wearing sunglasses this early in the morning, especially when the place had just experienced an emergency evacuation? Everyone fled in a panic. Even if they brought something with them, it was valuables, not hats or sunglasses.
But why does it look familiar?
Onoda Takehiko was waiting to take a closer look when Chiba Makoto walked over quickly and talked to the girl in a low voice. He could vaguely hear what seemed to be an introduction to him: "A very The uncle who takes care of him is also Kisarazu's neighbor.
Onoda Takehiko, who had already seen some clues, turned back as if nothing had happened, continued to smoke and look at the morning sun, but a smile appeared on his face, and he whispered: "It's great, if only it had happened before."
In his heart A twinge of pain reminded him, and he never forgot it, and in the end all his words turned into a sigh.
"What's wrong? Uncle Onoda, are you worried?" Chiba Makoto's voice came from behind. Onoda Takehiko shook his head and said: "It's okay, go and accompany your girlfriend. We were evacuated by TPC urgently." She must be frightened and needs a solid shoulder to lean on.”
“Uncle Onoda, you are. What are you looking for? Can you tell me?"
"I just want to find peace of mind. Only I can solve it. No one else can help." Onoda Takehiko threw the empty cigarette butt into the bottle next to him. The ashtray said: "You must cherish this girl, and don't think that the time together will be very long in the future."
"Well, I will." Chiba Makoto always felt that these words were not pure blessings, but meant something. However, Onoda Takehiko did not give him a chance to inquire in detail. He threw the drained cigarette butt into the ashtray next to him and rubbed it. Rubbing his face, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Let's go. If you have anything, you can call me."
After saying that, he strode Walking forward, without looking back, Maya walked over and asked curiously: "He seemed to recognize me, but why didn't he ask?"
"Probably. Because he is a reporter."
Maya was startled by Chiba Cheng's answer, and then nodded thoughtfully.
"Let's go home, there's still time to get some sleep." Seeing that there were not many people on the street, Chiba Cheng pulled Maya up and walked towards the apartment this time.
Along the way, Maya was still concerned about the reason for the evacuation that was suddenly announced four hours ago:
“Is it because of the electricity-eating monster you talked about last night?”
“I think It should be, but it seems that TPC has destroyed it before it turned into a big monster."
"In that box?"
"Probably!" >
"." The people who had been outside in fear for several hours were finally able to return home safely, and in the command room at the TPC Far East Headquarters base, Horii was telling about the mutant beast.
After the mutant beast killed by the victory team was transported back, the biology department concentrated its manpower to conduct a comprehensive analysis. The preliminary results were immediately submitted to Director Sawai and Director Ji Gang and other senior officials.
As one of TPC's most outstanding scientists, Horii also participated in this work. After returning, he did not take a break and immediately shared information with the team members to let them know some information about this mutant beast.
"The mutant beast we killed was indeed a Morat rat. It has never been included in the catalog of biological experiments, and a lot of waste was found in its stomach and intestines. Obviously, this The place where the Morat rat lived was probably a garbage dump. Plants or garbage filling sites, etc., so it has been completely confirmed that a serious leakage of Ebron cells has occurred, which is really..." Horii suppressed the bad words that followed. Some uncivilized words cannot be used. Said in front of Nanyuan's staff and captain.
Staff Officer Nan Yuan sighed and said: "Headquarters has dispatched an investigation team to the Space Development Agency. I believe that after this lesson, Albron cells will be more cautious and careful."
"I think not only We only need to summarize experiences, lessons, and improve the system, but more importantly, we need to reflect on human beings' attitude towards science." Horii said with seriousness on his fat face: "Whether it is Zilda or Albron, Human beings always blame the mistakes they make on the fact that technology is not strong enough.
Putting everything on changes in the future, but whether it is now or in the future, it is always people who use technology, as long as the human heart is there. If there is no change, then we will still repeat the mistakes we have made now.”
Before Horii finished speaking, the automatic door opened, Director Sawai walked in, and everyone quickly stood up to greet him.
Director Sawai walked up to Horii, patted him on the shoulder and said: "You are right. We at TPC and even mankind should reflect on it. No technology is wrong, and talent Yes, whether it’s Ebron or Max Cannon, it’s the same.”
"Director, I just think we can't go on like this. Albron cells are too dangerous and cannot be touched by current humans. A little carelessness can cause huge disasters." Horii also knows that destroying them is unrealistic. This was not mentioned at all.
“Yes, Ebron cells have indeed touched the forbidden area of humanity. There cannot be any mistakes, so I decided to set up a new department to store dangerous biological samples including monster fragments. ." Director Sawai clicked a few times on the screen and called up a top-secret document, saying: "This is the preliminary opinion reached at the General Staff Meeting, to disband the biological department of the Space Development Agency, Agency D, and put it down. Merged into the Life Science Research Center and reorganized into Biotechnology Research Institute.
This new department will be placed on overseas islands, so that even if there is an accident, it can be controlled and not spread on a large scale. "
After Director Sawai made the announcement, Horii lowered his head and fell silent. Although he had known the result for a long time, his reason told him that the complete destruction of Albron cells was just a luxury hope, but after the announcement, even if he knew that the result of such a compromise would be very Okay, I still feel bad.
At this moment, Ye Rui, who was sitting in front of the computer, raised his head with a look of surprise on his face and said: "There is news from the metropolitan power supply company, area D, area B and area E. A large-scale power outage occurred, and it was exactly the same as last night in S area and Setagaya area. There was a sudden power outage without warning, and all backup lines failed.”
