Chapter 215 The Blocked Gate of the North
Chen Lin was so surprised by his bold guess that he suddenly stood up. This action scared the guard who just came in at the door and almost lost his grip on what he was holding.
"What's the matter, Mr. Chen?"
Chen Lin walked around anxiously, and after a few seconds, he said to the guard: "Take the information that the previous investigation team sent to me. Find out all the information for me, I want to read it again! I may have overlooked the key contents!"
The security guard Xiao Wu realized that the situation was urgent and quickly looked for the information, while Chen Lin I started trying to contact my superiors again!
He simply gave up talking to the outpost and instead chose a higher-level association level.
Chen Lin focused his eyes on those special pictures. After repeated viewings, he finally understood the meaning of this picture - the water world was peaceful at first, until this world Suddenly a spaceship of a certain civilization appeared, and what appeared on the screen was like some kind of purgatory on earth. Large areas of creatures died or were even extinct, and even the seawater was fatally polluted!
Machine-like creatures built huge buildings to deal with the infection of this virus. Unfortunately, it was unable to stop the spread of this thing. In the end, this place failed to survive and fell silent. Falling into the deep sea...
Chen Lin only felt creepy.
When the direct contact with the association was connected, Chen Lin conveyed his thoughts without any concealment. The vice president who answered the phone was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "Half Colonel Yang had already entered with a small team hours ago.”
"What!?"
Chen Lin's scalp was numb with shock. He really didn't expect that the efficiency of the outpost was so high. After passing the news, he dispatched personnel directly into this area. Behind the portal!
The key personnel is Colonel Yang Li whom he is familiar with!
“I suspect that there is a special virus in that world, which once caused mass extinction of life in that water world... Combined with the environment there, I have reason to guess that that thing is extremely hydrophilic , and can even penetrate all kinds of protective clothing and skin we wear!”
The vice president on the other side of the phone seemed to be flipping through some information, and then spoke to Chen Lin after a few seconds! : "Why didn't this information association receive any report?"
Chen Lin said helplessly: "...Because this is what I just surmised. I can only understand some of the special words on the teleportation stone gate, and combined with those special pictures, I came to this conclusion."
"That's it."
"We need to confirm your suspicion first."
The vice president said calmly: "Don't go there yet. We have brought them back. The follow-up association will continue to send fully automated unmanned equipment and supplies, and they will be the last batch of people to enter the water world - until this problem is completely solved."
Chen Lin was slightly startled, and soon he understood the decision of the vice president on the other end of the phone.
When encountering this unknown virus, the best solution is to isolate, and the group of people who entered it before will become the last group of people on earth in that world before this problem is completely solved.
Although cruel, it is effective.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Lin let out a long sigh of relief.
The ultimate purpose of his call was actually to ensure that danger would not pass through the portal to the planet at his feet, or even to the earth right after!
If an unknown virus comes out of the portal and infects billions of people around the world - I'm afraid Chen Lin will be hanged up as the sinner of the century.
Even if the association will hide him by then, Chen Lin still can't get over this hurdle in his heart.
......
Yang Li had just jumped out of the water with his team members.
The portal is more than ten meters above the sea. As soon as they stepped out of the portal, they immediately stepped on the air and fell into the sea water below.
Most of the members are people with excellent water skills, but they can't do much when they are wearing diving suits all over their bodies. After a lot of tossing, they emerged from under the sea one after another.
Yang Li organized team members to pull up the large box that had sunk to the bottom of the sea. With the help of several assault boats, the large box was quickly dragged to the surface of the sea. The engineers took apart the shell of the box and quickly began to assemble it to float on the sea. platform.
These materials are all shipped directly from the earth. They all use expansion and water-absorbing structures. After the bottom is filled with sea water, it gains weight. When assembled into a piece, it is very stable and can be regarded as a temporary sea. The best material for the platform.
Yang Li is one person, and the Qinglong team is eleven people, totaling twelve people, including five combat personnel, three military researchers, three engineers, and one correspondent.
For the convenience of operation, Yang Li had already taken off his diving suit when he was on the assault boat. In his opinion, the air quality in this water world was good, and it did not seem like there was any What a problem looks like.
"Captain!"
Correspondent Huang Guangming received the emergency communication and clearly requested that the recipient of the communication be Yang Li, the team leader. He quickly shouted in Yang Li's direction.
Yang Li didn’t know what was happening yet. He was working with his team members on the collision water-absorbent materials that were in a compressed state. These platform materials need to be soaked in seawater for a few minutes before they can be used. They are very difficult to use. It takes effort.
"Qinglong Team, Yang Li, please speak!"
Yang Li switched the channel of the communicator in his ear. After hearing the voice on the other side, he immediately straightened up: "Instructor!"
The voice in the communicator spoke slowly.
"Colonel Yang Li, what's coming is an emergency, so be mentally prepared."
Yang Li's eyes widened instantly, but he still said: "I'm mentally prepared!"< br>
“Now, the Association suspects that there is an unknown virus in the world you are in. The news was directly reported to the Association by Chen Lin. He saw some clues from the words and pictures on the teleportation stone gate. "Clues."
Yang Li instantly felt that his palms were sweating. He subconsciously turned his head and glanced at his many team members. Three of them had already taken off their helmets like him - after all, the air here was there. There is no problem after a simple test, and human breathing is not affected at all!
He must have encountered this unknown virus.
What I was worried about when I entered the other world from the earth finally happened here.
The point is, this news was reported by Chen Lin!
After hearing this name, Yang Li had already determined that the situation was true.
Chen Lin will never report false news, Yang Li can still confirm this.
“The Association has decided to extend your stay in this world.”
The instructor spoke slowly, "The original 15 days have been extended to 90 days. You will need to work in the water world for three months. During this period, we will send all the materials you need through the portal."
Colonel Yang hesitated for a moment, then spoke to the phone: "Do you know the type of virus?" "It's still at a blank stage. We will send you virus detection equipment and blood analysis machines later. …The data will be simultaneously transmitted to the Hongshan base, and we will develop vaccines and cures based on these data.”
Hearing the voice on the phone, it was the always talkative Yang. Li also fell silent.
After a few seconds, Yang Li said with difficulty: "In other words, no one else will enter here next?"
"Yes."
The instructor clearly informed Yang Li, "You and the members of the Qinglong Team are the first batch, and will also be the last batch now. Before the virus in this world is completely dealt with, We will temporarily stop exploring the water world."
Yang Li was silent for more than ten seconds and breathed a long sigh of relief: "I understand."
"Colonel Yang, Association. and the base will not give up on you..."
"I believe that the association, Hongshan, Outpost, and Qinglong Team will execute the order and stay in this world for three months!"
Yang Li directly interrupted the instructor's words. His eyes were firm and he regained his calmness and thinking ability as a professional soldier: "We will resolutely complete the association's orders!"
"The Qinglong Team" On the other hand..."
"I'm here to tell them, Hongshan Base and the Association, please don't worry!"
"The communication between the two places is open 24 hours a day. Report your needs directly and we will do our best to meet them.”
After hanging up the phone, Yang Li, who had looked decisive just now, was momentarily distracted. After a while, he collected his emotions and began to pay attention. All efforts were concentrated on the construction of temporary offshore platforms...
The portal project from the northern land to the water world temporarily stopped transporting personnel, and Yang Li, who entered it at the beginning, and the Qinglong assault team led by him, all received new orders - they will You will be allowed to return after continuing to work in this world for three months.
During this period, Yang Li and his team are completely prohibited from eating any aquatic life in the water world, and are prohibited from drinking local water resources. All necessary survival materials and research equipment will be sent in through the portal.
Although the members of the Blue Dragon Team could not understand it, the orders of the association and the two bases were everything. It was their bounden duty to obey orders, so they naturally had no objections.
In the evening, the temporary offshore platform was completed, and the portal also promptly sent them a full set of flying power armor, virus detection equipment, blood detection equipment, a large amount of food and supplies, and Various tasks that they need to complete next.
Yang Li and the entire Qinglong team were tested for the virus, and everyone had their blood collected. Although he did not say clearly what happened, when he saw these two things, he was present Everyone realized that something was not right.
Twenty minutes later, inside the Outpost Virology Research Institute.
Dr. Qi Huan, who was once an assistant to Professor Yu, stared at the pile of data displayed on the device and frowned tightly.
"The data analysis is over. The blood seems to be fine...but our virus checking equipment has analyzed it and found that it contains an unknown virus."
"What kind of virus ?”
The person wearing protective clothing immediately asked, “Can we analyze this virus? We need to develop a vaccine against this virus as soon as possible.”
Qi Huan shook his head slightly, pointed at the virus displayed on the computer and said: "We have only obtained the most original detection data of this virus, and we need more samples for testing... Let the people over there send them Let’s get more data out, it will help us figure out the detailed attributes of this virus as soon as possible.”
“We can’t see anything unusual at the moment, judging from the monitoring from the other side and their physical condition reports. , the incubation period of this virus is relatively long.”
“Can’t we send people over there to bring back some of the virus samples?”
Qi Huan asked suddenly. The man was silent for a few seconds, and then said sternly: "In order to prevent the unknown virus from the water world from being transmitted to the other world and the earth under our feet, the northern border has completely banned entry and exit."
Qi Huan was slightly startled, and immediately realized that the situation might be more serious than he thought. He nodded cautiously and said: "I understand... The Virus Research Laboratory will concentrate its efforts on this next step. Conduct data analysis on the unknown virus, and once we have a specific drug to deal with it, we will report it to the base immediately.”
"That's good work."
The man looked serious, "If we develop specific drugs or vaccines as soon as possible, our people will have greater hope of survival... I don't want the people in the outpost to die in another In the world, we can’t even collect their bodies!”
When the man walked out of the institute, the corresponding information had been sent to the outpost and the entire association.
The vice-president who had previously listened to Chen Lin and blocked the portal breathed a sigh of relief after confirming the news that there was an unknown virus.
What Chen Lin reported directly to the association before was true. The water world is not as beautiful as it seems. At least there is still a deadly murderous intention hidden under the sea at this time!
He was fortunate to have listened to the warning from Chen Lin.
When the sun rose from the distant sea level on the second day, the members of the Qinglong team who had been listening to the sound of water all night woke up one after another. When they raised their eyes, they saw Yang Li sitting not far away. on the assault boat.
Because there are complete sets of drones and detection equipment set up at night, and even automatic defense systems are equipped underwater, the Qinglong Team does not need to perform night duty at all.
"Captain!"
The team members washed up and started to pour breakfast. When they delivered the steaming meat porridge to Yang Li, they realized that their captain seemed to have stayed up all night. .
"Captain, why didn't you sleep?"
Yang Li took the lunch box, as if he had made some determination, and said in a deep voice: "After eating, check the weapons and ammunition. All members put on diving suits. , let’s go underwater and take a look.”
“But there is still a lot of work on the surface...”
“The work on the surface will be put on hold first, and we will give priority to exploring the underwater world.”
Yang Li said decisively: "This world is very special. I have a hunch that all the solutions lie in the deep sea! I saw some kind of phantom appearing in front of me last night. It uses something like The power of telepathy calls me and asks me to go to the deep sea..."
The team member who delivered the porridge was also slightly stunned, and then he said incredulously: "Captain, are you hallucinating?"
He came up and touched Yang Li's forehead directly, and said to himself He said: "I don't have a fever..."
Yang Li glared at him, took a big mouthful of meat porridge, and said fiercely: "If you don't want to die here, just come with me and try. ! It’s true that the base can provide us with supplies in an endless stream, but in the end, we are the only ones who can save us!”
