Chapter 86 The Ultimate Decision Mission of the System
"Security department?" Su Wanqing repeated, with a scrutinizing tone in her voice, "What are you doing here? This is an abandoned factory area, not under your jurisdiction."
The man still had no expression on his face. His sunglasses reflected the dim light of the tunnel, and his eyes could not be seen clearly.
"We have received reports of unidentified personnel activities here, and we suspect that they are related to the loss of control of the first generation evolution. What are your identities?"
"We are survivors and are looking for shelter." Su Wanqing tried her best to make her voice sound calm, but her nerves were already stretched to the extreme.
"Shelter?" The man sneered, "This is not a shelter, this is a dangerous area. Come with us immediately and cooperate with the investigation."
Just as Su Wanqing was about to deal with the man, the cold voice of the system suddenly sounded in her mind.
"Host, the crisis level has been detected. The remaining resources are extremely limited. The virus suppression plan must be implemented immediately, otherwise the scope of the virus outbreak will spread exponentially and will be uncontrollable."
Su Wanqing's heart sank suddenly. She knew the system was telling the truth.
The supplies they have now are simply not enough to support large-scale vaccine production, let alone deal with the impending virus outbreak.
"Host, there are two solutions. Option 1: Consume all remaining resources to produce vaccines and try to control the spread of the virus. Option 2: Consume a small amount of resources to wipe out the special virus strain in the target's body and eliminate the potential threat."
Su Wanqing's breathing became rapid. The target was Lin Che.
The system actually proposed the option of erasing Lin Che's physique!
“System, how many resources are needed to erase Lin Che’s physique?” Su Wanqing asked, her voice trembling.
"Erasing the target's physique requires relatively few resources. However, this move will completely eliminate the potential for vaccine development, and the target will revert to normal human status."
Su Wanqing's mind went blank. Erasing Lin Che's physique meant losing the only hope of solving the mystery of the virus.
But if this is not done, the outbreak will cause more deaths and the whole world will fall into despair.
She had to make a choice.
"Su Wanqing, what's wrong?" Lin Che noticed that Su Wanqing was acting strangely and asked with concern.
Su Wanqing shook her head and did not tell him the content of the system's task.
She knew that once Lin Che knew the truth, she would definitely choose to sacrifice herself.
"We have to leave here." Su Wanqing said, and she quickly hid the information in the system. "This person is not a good person. We can't trust him."
As she spoke, she pushed the man beside her away and pulled Lin Che deeper into the tunnel.
"Stop!" the man roared and chased after him.
Su Wanqing and Lin Che were running in the tunnel, with the men chasing them and the roars of the infected behind them.
They must find a safe place as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures.
“Su Wanqing, what happened?” Lin Che asked, his voice sounding a little anxious.
“I…I need your help.” Su Wanqing said. She took a deep breath and told Lin Che the content of the system’s task.
Lin Che's face turned pale instantly. He was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "If the vaccine can be successful, I am willing to accept the plan of erasing my own physique. I don't want to become a hidden danger for the spread of the virus."
Su Wanqing's heart trembled suddenly. She knew Lin Che was a kind person, but by doing this, he was giving up everything he had.
"No, I can't let you do this." Su Wanqing said, her voice full of determination, "There must be other ways."
"Su Wanqing, don't be emotional." A deep voice suddenly sounded.
Su Wanqing and Lin Che turned around and saw a middle-aged man in military uniform walking towards them.
He is tall and strong, with a serious face, giving people an air of authority.
"Who are you?" Su Wanqing asked.
"I'm Professor Yang, the head of the base's scientific research team," the man said, "I've been ordered to come here to assist you."
"Assist?" Su Wanqing sneered, "Your assistance will only put us in greater danger."
“Su Wanqing, don’t misunderstand me.” Professor Yang said, “We just want to resolve the virus crisis as soon as possible. Now, the most important thing is to produce vaccines and control the spread of the virus. Sacrificing Lin Che is a necessary price.”
“What?” Xiao Ran suddenly rushed out, glaring at Professor Yang, “What right do you have to say that? Lin Che is our partner, we won’t allow you to hurt him!”
Xiao Ran, a former special forces king, has a wild personality and decisive actions. He is the fighting force in Su Wanqing's team.
"Xiao Ran, calm down." Su Wanqing said, trying to stop Xiao Ran from being impulsive.
“Calm down? You want me to calm down? This guy actually said he wanted to sacrifice Lin Che, how can I calm down?”
Xiao Ran roared, "I'm telling you, if you dare to touch Lin Che, I will kill you!"
"Xiao Ran, don't push me." Professor Yang's face turned gloomy. "You'd better remember that we represent the interests of the entire base."
"Benefits? What you call benefits is sacrificing innocent people?" Xiao Ran did not show any weakness and confronted Professor Yang.
"Enough!" Su Wanqing shouted, "Calm down! Now is not the time to argue, we must find a solution."
She looked around and saw that the team had already started arguing among themselves.
Xiao Ran lost control of his emotions and strongly opposed sacrificing Lin Che, while Professor Yang tended to support the production of vaccines, and the two sides were deadlocked.
"Su Wanqing, what do you think?" Lu Zhao's voice suddenly came through the communicator.
Su Wanqing took a deep breath and told Lu Zhao about her concerns.
"Su Wanqing, you are too hesitant." Lu Zhao said, "The most important thing now is to control the spread of the virus. Use the energy of the vaccine to solve the problem of virus spread first. Sacrificing Lin Che is a necessary price. Don't be emotional, and consider the overall situation."
Su Wanqing's face turned even paler. She knew that Lu Zhao was right, but she couldn't accept the reality of sacrificing Lin Che.
"I understand." Su Wanqing said, her voice trembling slightly.
She hung up the communicator and felt powerless as she watched the people arguing.
“System, scan and erase the cost of Lin Che’s virus resistance.” Su Wanqing said. She had to know how much it would cost to erase Lin Che’s physique.
"Scanning...Erasing the target's physique, the energy required is 15% of the current total energy. This move will completely eliminate the potential for vaccine development."
Su Wanqing's face turned even paler. 15% of the energy was already a huge consumption for them.
She looked at Lin Che, his eyes full of determination and trust.
She knew that if she told him the truth, he would choose to sacrifice himself.
"Ye" had warned her that erasing Lin Che's physique might hide a deeper crisis.
She hesitated.
"Su Wanqing, what are you going to do?" Xiao Ran asked, his voice full of anxiety.
Su Wanqing did not answer. She knew that she had to make a difficult decision.
