Chapter 281 Special Rescue Mission
Lu Yong regretted accepting this team mission.
Their team has been at this station for more than 20 days. In the past 20 days, the station level has been upgraded from B to A. The single-person simple mission that was originally issued once every one or two days has also become a high-intensity rescue mission in the past few days.
But obviously, the effort is always proportional to the reward. The previous single-person simple missions were mostly to track down some clues, which were not very dangerous, so the rewards were relatively ordinary, basically some drinking utensils, and occasionally some protective clothing disinfectants and other supplies would be dropped. It is very rare to drop props and skill cards.
But since the first corpse exploded in the ranch, the town of Orr began to be fully cleaned and disinfected, and the number of missions began to surge.
The risk of their missions outside has increased, and the rewards are mostly protective equipment and prop skill cards. Occasionally, they will drop good things such as hot weapons, space expansion, and unlimited currency coupons.
Although everyone is very busy and tired, they are very motivated to do the mission. After all, such a direct mission method is much simpler than those missions that require you to think and find clues by yourself.
Now think about it, they are probably dazzled by the generous rewards, and the objects of the previous single-person rescue missions are relatively cooperative, so they forget that when a disaster occurs, human nature will always test people's hearts in various different ways.
This is a team mission. Because there are many rescue objects and the mission process is long, they need their entire team to complete it together.
The mission destination is on a university campus in the south of the city near the east district. The main rescue targets are two professors, and the secondary targets are four students.
Not only do they have to take them out of the school safely, but they also have to go deep into a laboratory in a certain area of the school to get the two professors' previous research samples and data, and finally send the professors and the sample data to the temporary shelter of the troops in the southern suburbs of Fran City.
The reward for the mission is a hidden reward. According to previous experience, it is very likely to drop tickets, very useful skill cards, and information about hidden stations.
The mission went smoothly at first, and they found the professors and students trapped in the gym.
When the school was in chaos, everyone was in class. Several bacterial parasites appeared from nowhere, chasing people and self-destructing, quickly infecting a group of humans, and then it was a vicious cycle.
The students fled in all directions. Some of them were so panicked that they stepped on the ground full of broken meat and dirt. They were infected no matter how far they ran.
These students happened to be in the professor's office. The professor was originally studying the recent high fever and vomiting blood caused by unknown reasons. He reacted quickly when he found the chaos outside. He immediately found the N95 masks in the office and asked everyone to wear them.
They escaped from the teaching building together. After discovering that the school gate was blocked by bacterial parasites, they planned to evacuate from the back door, but it was the most chaotic time. There were parasites everywhere. In the end, they failed to reach the back door and hid in the gymnasium next to the stadium.
The gymnasium is a semi-basement with no windows and a solid door. They persisted like this for a whole night.
Among the six people, only two students had their cell phones intact. They tried desperately to make phone calls, but they couldn’t get through, and because they were in a basement, the signal was sporadic.
Soon after, the phone received an emergency notification, and they roughly figured out the situation outside.
The gymnasium was safe, but there was no water or food, and they were trapped here with no way out.
The two professors were more worried about the situation in the laboratory, where they had the samples and data they were studying, and with this outbreak, they thought their research data might be able to help.
But with the situation outside, they couldn’t even get out of the gymnasium, so how could they get to the laboratory to pack up the samples and data and then escape?
Then, dusk fell, and their mobile phones ran out of battery and turned off completely.
Lu Yong and his team showed up the next morning. There were large green areas near the school, with few buildings, and residents had already hidden in their homes.
Fungal parasites could occasionally be seen outside the school. The most similar thing about these parasites to zombies is that if there are no living people and they don't sense the breath of living people, they will not self-destruct, but will wander around aimlessly, dragging all kinds of strange fungi and hyphae, like mines, waiting for people to trigger them.
They put on protective clothing, carried flamethrowers on their backs, and were fully armed. According to the positioning, they climbed over the wall and entered the school from the nearest road.
Protective clothing can only protect, but it cannot hide the whereabouts of living people. The parasites they encountered along the way exploded towards them one by one.
The pus and flesh and blood exuded by the parasites are all highly corrosive, which will slowly reduce the protective function of the protective clothing and pollute the air.
Moreover, they have discovered that this strain of bacteria will not only infect humans, but also animals - cats, dogs, birds, cattle and sheep... At present, all flesh and blood individuals will be infected.
They don't know whether this mutation will infect plants in the future, but obviously they can't leave these flesh and blood remains carrying bacteria in place, so they advance and burn all the way.
Most of them have ordinary flamethrowers, which can only spray four to six times, and they are useless after use.
There was only one flamethrower similar to the one Lin Wu had drawn before, which could be used continuously with ordinary fuel. And because of the problem of storage and consumption of fuel, it was definitely impossible to use it as recklessly as Youxi.
They had to make various plans and controls, but even so, they had consumed most of their protective clothing and flamethrowers during the whole process of entering the school and arriving at the gymnasium to rescue people, and then escorting them to the laboratory to get data.
But as long as they could successfully obtain the sample data later, they could escort the rescued people out of the school through the previously cleared road, and after leaving the school, they could find a car to take them to the southern suburbs of the city, without having to consume protection and weapons all the time like walking.
Moreover, several people in the team did not have valid tickets, and compared with the tickets, these losses were completely worth it.
They still have more than 20 days left for the mission. As long as they successfully complete the mission, get the ticket, and determine the hidden station, they can find a place to hide. The
plan is good, but plans can never keep up with changes. When the professor took samples from the laboratory, he found three students hiding in the cold storage room and said that he would take them with him no matter what. Bringing one more person would consume one more protective suit. After they came in, they found that there were so many bacterial parasites in the school. They cleaned up all the way and the protective suits on their bodies reached the limit and had to be replaced with new ones. What's more, one of the three people was running a fever. Everyone knows that fever is one of the symptoms of the latent period of bacterial parasites. After discussion, Lu Yong's team decided that they could take the other two students with them, but not the one with fever.
Among the three students, one was a couple, and the one with a fever was the boy in the couple. When the girl heard that she had to abandon her boyfriend, she immediately cried and begged, saying that her boyfriend was not infected, but just had a common fever, and if she just left him alone, he would die.
These three were students that one of the professors knew, so how could he be so cruel to leave them alone? He immediately accused Lu Yong and his team of being cold and indifferent to life, and said that if they really wanted to abandon this student, then he would not leave either! As for the research samples, he would not look for them either, and if they wanted to take them out, they could find them themselves!
Lu Yong: ...
The other students did not have a strong voice in whether to rescue or not, they just wanted to leave the school as soon as possible.
Another professor said that as long as they did the same as them, they would just put on protective clothing for the feverish person, which could not only isolate the outside world, but also the person himself. If they can come to rescue people, they must have extra protective clothing!
Lu Yong: ...
Finally, Lu Yong's team took out three more protective equipments. At the same time, the members of his team tried their best to check the protective clothing. The team members whose protective clothing was more worn out were replaced first. The few who did not change walked in the middle of the team.
If things had ended here, it would have been fine if they could have ended smoothly in the future.
However, during the evacuation, the student with a fever lost consciousness. His girlfriend and the professor covered him on the left and right, and wanted to help him and take people away. Later, they were discovered by the team members, and they argued in the experimental building, and successfully caused the student with a fever to mutate.
He spit out pus while tearing off his protective suit, and spit directly at his girlfriend's face. Even the protective suit could not withstand the frontal attack of pus, not to mention that people always do some weird things when they are in a panic.
The girl backed away while desperately wiping the bloody pus on her mask, and accidentally knocked open a closed laboratory door beside the passage. A dozen bacterial parasites in the laboratory that were originally in wandering mode were all triggered.
They rushed into the team like running mines, bang bang bang - flesh and blood carrying bacteria and corrosive fluids suddenly fell like heavy snow.
There were several members of Lu Yong's team who were unable to change their protective suits because they did not have enough, so they dared not approach. In order to cover their companions, the members next to them used up all their flamethrowers. They only had the prop flamethrower that could be refueled, but they still could not eliminate all the parasites.
The movement in the passage attracted the parasites in other parts of the building and the parasites outside the building. They were chased by the enemy and blocked by the enemy. They could not get out at all. Finally, they were forced to go down the stairs to the abandoned basement of the experimental building. They relied on the two heavy iron doors in the basement to block the parasites outside.
Unfortunately, they were also trapped at the same time, because there was no other exit in the basement, and they could not find any useful items.
Lu Yong thought about giving up the mission. To him, there would be other opportunities to get the ticket, but the team members only had one life to live.
But now it’s not that they don’t want to leave, it’s that they can’t leave.
The whole city of Fran was in chaos, and the rescue phone couldn’t be reached at all. The two professors were not important scientific researchers, they were just doing research privately, and the samples might only be useful. The really important scientists had already been taken to the base by the troops and were strictly protected.
They had a lot of hot weapons, from charging to grabbing grenades, but these were completely useless in front of the fungal parasites, except for blowing the flesh and blood into pieces.
When they were trapped until the evening, Lu Yong suddenly remembered that he had opened a mission reinforcement card in the precious treasure chest when he was in White Bird Lake.
Half an hour after using the card, Lu Yong, who was nervous, received a reminder on his mobile phone.
Tip: The rescue mission has been accepted. The passenger "Morning" has established a temporary teammate relationship with you and will assist you in completing the mission.
He had just checked the prompt when a message from his temporary teammate "Morning" came to his phone: I'm coming over now. What's going on there? Tell me roughly.
Lu Yong used his hand speed from playing games in the past and started to send messages quickly.
On campus, parasites roaming outside the laboratory building...
Students with fever, professors who insisted on taking them with them...
Students who suddenly mutated, girls who panicked and accidentally released a large number of parasites...
Inside the building, the flesh and blood of the exploded parasites covered the floor, walls and ceiling...
They were trapped in an abandoned basement with no windows...
In addition, he had no way of judging how many parasites were wandering from the building entrance to the basement...
The more Lu Yong sent messages, the more uneasy he felt. In this case, would the other party really be willing to continue the mission? Would he just give up the mission? After all, the other party was still outside and safe, and he could completely avoid this mess.
But he had to explain all the circumstances clearly. Others were willing to take on the mission to rescue them, and he couldn't hurt the other party by lying.
Then after he sent all the messages, the other party only sent two words.
Good morning: Haha.
Lu Yong:?
Good morning: Okay, I'm already outside the school, and now I'm trying to get in. You guys prepare disinfectant, and let your teammates who can't hold up their protective suits hide inside.
Lu Yong: ah? Good! Thank you for being willing to rescue us! You must be careful! Good
morning: By the way, were you at the Bainiao Lake station before?
Lu Yong:? How did you know?
Good morning: Do you still want to eat fried chicken and hot pot?
Lu Yong:! ! ? ?
**
After listening to Lu Yong's story, his teammates were all excited.
Before, when Lu Yong used the mission reinforcement card, they had all kinds of worries in their hearts, afraid that no one would be willing to take the mission, and afraid that someone who took the mission would not be able to get in. But now that they know who the other party is, they are not worried anymore.
That person is the boss!
Since the boss asked them to wait, they just have to wait obediently.
Everyone was not anxious or nervous, and temporarily found a place to sit down and rest, preparing to rush out with the boss.
Seeing this, several students became anxious again, jumping up and down and asking them what to do next, whether they gave up.
The team members were exhausted, and no one paid any attention to them.
So the students turned around and started to blame the student who was trapped in the lab before.
Among the three students trapped in the lab, one got sick and mutated, another got infected and ran away, leaving only this one.
While blaming each other, they also began to blame the professor, because it was the professor who insisted on taking them with him, and this person seemed to be fine now, but he might also be infected, so they wanted to kick him out.
The two professors were worried about another student. They were too anxious when they ran just now. Among the four students who were originally with them, one of the smartest and most obedient students ran away from them...
They tried to talk to Lu Yong about the student who ran away, but they were pestered by the student for a while and had no chance to speak.
The people in Lu Yong's team ignored them. The team members began to disinfect themselves and waited quietly for the boss.
And the boss himself, You Xi, was trying hard to roll at this moment.
The mission must be completed, and safety must also be taken care of.
Although she has a high physical fitness, she will still be infected as long as she comes into contact with pus.
She is alone. If she carries the jet all the way into the school, she will inevitably be stained with blood, flesh and pus. She is not sure whether a layer of protective clothing can withstand this situation, so she finally took out the crystal bubble.
Fortunately, with an extra layer of high-defense crystal bubbles, the fungal parasites along the way can hardly sense the biological breath inside, and as long as she does not bump into them, they will remain wandering.
She stared at the positioning route on the screen of her mobile phone, and stepped on the crystal bubble inside like a hamster, letting it move forward according to its own route.
Just like that, Youxi rolled all the way, rolled into the experimental building, rolled down to the basement, and finally rolled into the open basement door.
Several team members holding disinfectant sprayers: … …
This big guy, what a strange way to come out …
After Lu Yong reminded them, the team members stepped forward and sprayed violently at the crystal ball.
The disinfectant killed the bacteria in the pus outside the crystal ball. Youxi came out of the crystal bubble and began to count the number of people. Then he took out three new protective suits and handed them to Lu Yong, so that the team members who could no longer hold up their protective suits could change into them.
Then he took out three ordinary flamethrowers and gave them to them. In this way, when they go out later, there will be five flamethrowers, which should be able to hold up.
"It's getting dark soon, leave here quickly and hand over the people." She likes to make quick decisions and doesn't like to talk nonsense.
But some people just talk a lot.
The professor has a saintly heart, and he can also see that the person who came now is more powerful, so he stepped forward and told him again about one of his students who ran away.
He said that he couldn't just abandon the person like this, he wanted to save him! He wanted to find him! He was his best student and would become a very outstanding scientific researcher in the future...
While the professor was speaking at length, You Xi pulled Lu Yong over to ask about the mission targets. After confirming that the real targets were the two professors and the sample data, she nodded.
"...So, I can't abandon him! Never--"
You Xi glanced at the other party and interrupted him directly: "You don't really think that man is still alive? It's been a day, and the entire passage is full of exploded parasite flesh. The fungi and hyphae on it are still growing, and getting bigger and bigger. The ceiling is no exception. Do you really think that without a flamethrower, he can still survive with just a layer of protective clothing?" "
Then can you be sure that he is 100% dead? As long as there is a 1% possibility, we have to try it! That's a human life! If you don't save him, he will definitely die--"
"That's also your fault. It was you who chose to bring the person with a fever with you, and then dragged down the entire team. I will not gamble the lives of so many people here for a hypothetical possibility of yours, for the one percent hope you mentioned. His life is life, and the lives of our team members are also life. If you are really so worried about him, go out and save him yourself. I won't do such a brainless thing, give up!"
The members of Lu Yong's team looked at her with admiration from behind. This sharp tongue is the weapon they need most!
The professor did not expect that the newcomer looked young but had such a cold and ruthless heart. He wanted to use the previous method to win over the other party, saying that he would not leave until he found the other party. As a result, he was knocked out by the impatient You Xi as soon as he opened his mouth.
She checked the other person's protective clothing, confirmed that the breathing equipment continued to work, and then threw the person directly into the crystal bubble.
The crystal bubble is limited to two people. After she threw one, she looked at the other professor: "What about you, do you choose to be knocked unconscious or crawl in by yourself?"
The other professor: ...
**
The sample data has been collected by Lu Yong, and the two key protection targets have also entered the crystal bubble. Lu Yong's team members have changed into new protective clothing, picked up the flamethrower given by You Xi, protected the remaining four students in the middle, and began to break out. Among the
five flamethrowers, only the ones in You Xi's and Lu Yong's hands can spray unlimitedly, so the most important front and the ceiling above that is hard to defend are handed over to the two of them. For the remaining three people, one person is left on the left, right and back to prevent new parasites from hearing the sound and self-destructing.
Youxi turned the flame to the maximum and led the way in the front. The flame swept the walls and floors on both sides, burning most of the flesh and blood bacteria.
The fuel was consumed very quickly, but she replenished it even faster. She was the only one who could hold this position, after all, other people didn't have so much fuel reserves.
Fortunately, she swept several gas stations during the day. In the absence of anyone, she not only filled up all 30 cubic fuel tanks, but also looted a lot of full portable fuel barrels, so she could use fuel so recklessly at this moment without feeling sorry.
Everyone was highly alert all the way and finally left the experimental building where the situation was the worst.
The situation outside the experimental building was much better. They no longer had to spit fire all the time. They just had to burn the parasite before it caught up and exploded.
Youxi stood aside and asked the team members inside to push the crystal bubble outward a little, then she looked in the right direction and kicked it.
The weight of the bubble itself plus the weight of the two people inside required the team members to push it hard before, but now she only kicked it, and the crystal bubble rolled forward happily, saving time and effort.
In this way, Youxi kicked the bubble in front and ran, and the other team members protected a few students behind them, and everyone left the school quickly together.
By the time Lu Yong's team found an empty bus on the side of the road and asked everyone to get on board, the two professors in the crystal bubble had already vomited in their protective suits.
Even the one who was knocked unconscious woke up when You Xi kicked him first, and then began to roll around and vomit again and again...
When the two professors came out of the crystal bubble while vomiting, Lu Yong looked at You Xi and seriously suspected that she did it on purpose. But I don't know why, I felt so good in my heart...
There were no spare protective suits, and the two professors did not dare to take them off at will. They could only continue to wear the protective suits with vomit on them and sit in the bus.
Once the crystal bubble is triggered, it cannot be retracted. Youxi was disgusted with the crystal bubble that rolled over the ground and wanted to throw it away. Later, it was picked up by the
people of Lu Yong's team, disinfected and tied to the roof of the car and taken away. Youxi also got into the car and accompanied them to the southern suburbs of the city. He handed over the professors, students and sample data to the troops.
The mission was completed. Youxi checked his mobile phone and could choose two of the four reward items.
1. A ticket valid for one stop.
2. The space is expanded by 50 cubic meters.
3. Props: self-cleaning protective clothing (automatically disinfected, used ten times.)
