Chapter 47 Speculation of the virus source 2
He continued to check the report and found more information: "It mentions a 'special serum' that can control the direction of mutation and guide the infected to gain specific abilities instead of turning into zombies."
"So this was all planned?" Su Wanqing couldn't believe it. "They deliberately created the virus and then selectively gave some people superpowers?"
"It seems so," Lu Zhao said, "but why?"
He opened the last file, the most heavily encrypted document, titled "Biological Reset Plan - Final Phase."
Most of the document has been deleted, leaving only a few fragments of information:
".When all seven elemental abilities are gathered together, the energy is enough to open a two-way channel for biological beings to reset the new world order."
"This information is too fragmentary," Lin Che said, "but it seems to be related to the 'Seven Deadly Sins Project' we discovered earlier."
"They need seven different elemental ability users," Xiao Ran analyzed, "probably for some kind of ritual or experiment."
"And it mentioned 'opening a channel'," Su Wanqing said, "It sounds like it's about opening some kind of space channel."
Lu Zhao pondered for a moment: "Combined with the previous information, I have a guess."
All three looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
"The virus may not be the ultimate goal of this plan, but just a means," Lu Zhao said. "They release the virus to cause large-scale infection, and at the same time screen out a few people who can gain elemental abilities. Then they use the power of these people to open some kind of channel."
"Where does the passage lead to?" Su Wanqing asked.
"I don't know," Lu Zhao shook his head, "but the document mentions 'two-way biological reset' and 'new world order'. It sounds like it's going to completely change the existing world order."
"This is crazy," Xiao Ran said, "Who would have such ambition and resources?"
"I'm not sure," Lu Zhao said, "but the code name 'Shadow' is mentioned many times in the document. It may be the name of the organization behind the scenes."
Lin Che suddenly thought of something: "Wait, those mutant specimens we saw in the laboratory before, could it be that they were testing different mutation directions?"
"It's very likely," Lu Zhao said, "that they may be trying to control the direction of the virus's mutation and create a specific type of variant."
"What about Xiao Yu?" Xiao Ran asked, with worry in his voice, "What role does she play in this plan?"
Lu Zhao flipped through the files, looking for relevant information: "Here is a record about a 'special experimental subject', but there is no specific name."
The record mentioned: ".The special experimental subject showed an unprecedented energy level. It may be the most powerful of the seven elements. Control measures must be strengthened."
"It sounds like a description of Xiao Yu," Xiao Ran said, "She does display powerful energy."
"If that's the case," Su Wanqing said, "then they captured Xiao Yu not just for experiments, but because she is a key part of their plan."
"We need to stop this plan," Lin Che said firmly, "No matter what they want to do, it will not end well."
"But first, we need more information," Lu Zhao said. "The data is not complete enough to let us understand the details of the whole plan."
"We should take this evidence back and let more people know about it," Su Wanqing suggested. "Maybe we can organize a larger-scale resistance."
"The question is, who will believe us?" Lu Zhao asked, "These data are incomplete, and many people will think this is just a conspiracy theory."
"Then what should we do?" Lin Che asked.
"Keep looking for evidence," Xiao Ran said, "We need more solid evidence to convince others."
"Xiao Ran is right," Lu Zhao said, "and we still need to find out the true identity of 'Shadow' and the next step of their plan."
"So, where are we going next?" Su Wanqing asked.
Lu Zhao thought for a moment: "According to this data, the final stage of the 'Biological Reset Plan' will be carried out in a facility called 'Zero Point'."
“Zero o’clock?” Lin Che repeated, “What is this place?”
"Not sure," Lu Zhao said, "but the document mentions that it's located in the 'northern mountains' and is a highly classified research facility."
"Could the nuclear power plant we visited before be this 'Zero Point' facility?" Su Wanqing asked.
"No, it's just an outpost," Lu Zhao said. "According to the description, the Zero Point facility is larger and has a higher level of security."
"Then we need to find the exact location of this facility," Xiao Ran said, "and then develop a plan to infiltrate it."
“I can try to extract more information from this data,” Lu Zhao said. “Maybe I can find some coordinates or a map.”
"We need to prepare more supplies," Lin Che said, "If we want to sneak into a highly guarded facility, we need to be fully prepared."
"I still have a lot of weapons and medical supplies in my space," Su Wanqing said, "but I may need to replenish some special equipment."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"I have some military equipment I can use," Xiao Ran said, "including night vision goggles and communications equipment."
The four began to discuss the details of the infiltration plan, each contributing his or her expertise.
Lu Zhao was responsible for technical support, Xiao Ran was responsible for tactical planning, Lin Che was responsible for medical preparation, and Su Wanqing was responsible for material management.
"There is another question," Lin Che said suddenly, "If we are right, then each of us may be part of their plan."
"Are you saying that we might be some of the people with the seven elements' abilities?" Su Wanqing asked.
“It’s very likely,” Lin Che nodded, “We all have elemental abilities, and we are all related to the virus outbreak.”
"This means we may be walking into their trap," Xiao Ran said, "If they need seven elemental ability users, and we take the initiative to deliver them to them."
"But we have no choice," Lu Zhao said. "If we don't stop them, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Lu Zhao is right," Su Wanqing said, "No matter how risky it is, we must try."
The four men fell into deep thought, each weighing the risks and responsibilities.
Finally, Xiao Ran broke the silence: "So, when do we take action?"
"More preparation is needed," Lu Zhao said, "at least two days to analyze the data and make a detailed plan."
"Two days later," Su Wanqing nodded, "we will go find this 'Zero Point' facility and stop their plan."
“I agree,” Lin Che said, “Before that, we need to know as much as possible about the enemy and their plans.”
Lu Zhao continued to analyze the data, hoping to find more clues.
The other three began to prepare the necessary equipment and supplies for the upcoming dangerous mission.
