Chapter 51
Biological bombs are one of the FSB's weapons of mass destruction. The various nerve agents added to them can kill people within thirty seconds.
After the apocalypse, the FSB improved the biological bomb, and now it is not only effective against humans, but also has a certain effect on zombies.
Although the people like Xue Gu are people with superpowers, no one wants to use their own bodies to verify the impact of biological bombs on them.
After hearing the warning, almost everyone stopped what they were doing. Xue Gu was worried about biological weapons, while Lou Tiannan and the others recognized that it was people from the Security Bureau.
Only Qiu Tu flashed and disappeared into the crowd. Lou Tiannan wanted to stop Qiu Tu, but the FSB men had already come to him fully armed.
They wore masks, held biological weapons in their hands, and each of them was handcuffed with an electric shock bracelet.
Everyone was taken onto the biochemical vehicle, and the security personnel used thermal imaging scanners to search and screen back and forth to ensure that no one was missed, and Xiya, who was hiding in the sewer, did not escape.
Lou Tiannan walked behind the team, watching the people being taken into the car one by one: Zhou Yu, Lu Jia, Song Yan, Bai Chuan, Tang Mali...
He didn't see Lin Bai. Where was Lin Bai? He stopped and checked again.
"Hurry up!" someone behind him urged him.
Zhou Yu felt the Security Bureau's attitude toward them was strange. He raised the electric shock handcuffs on his hands and asked, "Hey, are you new here? We're from the Military Defense Department, affiliated with the Security Bureau. Why are we handcuffed too?"
"Don't talk!"
Those people were very serious and had no intention of "becoming relatives" with Zhou Yu and the others.
Zhou Yu and the others looked at each other and all felt that the Security Bureau's attitude towards them was very strange.
It wasn't until the biochemical vehicle led them into an underground tunnel and drove for half an hour to a place that looked like an underground prison that they heard the men reporting to an electronic screen: "Report, we've captured rebels Elena and Lou Tiannan and eight of their accomplices, as well as forty-three blood and bone criminals."
"What the hell! How did I become a rebel?!" Zhou Yu and others shouted in dissatisfaction.
Tang Mary's face was full of anger: "I am not in the same group with them!" She was still thinking of being the one who profited, but how come she was robbed by this group of federal soldiers!
Shirakawa raised his hand and said, "I am a good citizen and I don't know them well."
"Quiet! No talking!"
The leader, holding a biochemical gun, shouted and warned them, the black muzzle pointed at them. Zhou Yu felt a little overwhelmed, but Zhu Liang held him down. The next moment, the muzzle was no longer pointed at him. A bony hand pressed on the barrel. Song Yan exclaimed, "Captain Lou!"
Lou Tiannan gripped the barrel of the gun with his palm and pressed the muzzle of the biochemical weapon to the ground. He said in a neutral voice, "Put your gun away!"
"You!" The man with the gun tried hard with both hands to raise the gun but failed. He looked at Lou Tiannan's handcuffs, where there was an obvious electric current flashing, but Lou Tiannan seemed unaffected. His gray eyes stared at him, and the aura and pressure around him made the man with the gun feel a chill on his back for no reason.
Hearing his superior's voice in the headset, he restrained his expression, reluctantly put away the biochemical gun, and ordered: "Put away all the guns!"
He didn't hear the sound of the gun being put away for a while, so he turned around and cursed: "I told you to put all your guns away--"
When he turned his head, he found that the people behind him didn't take out the biological guns at all. They were holding electric batons in their hands, and they were pointing them at the people with Blood and Bone.
The iron door of the underground prison opened at this moment. He turned his head away with a cold snort and ordered, "Take them all in!"
Lou Tiannan and others were brought in first, and the ten of them were taken to a separate room in the innermost part for custody.
Later, the people who heard the blood and bones also came in, and seemed to be taken to another place for imprisonment.
Everyone got out except those who were imprisoned.
"What the hell? Is this really a prison?!" Zhou Yu couldn't believe it. As a good young man with a good family background and loyal to the Federation since childhood, he was actually sent to prison!
"This is the border prison in East District 1, which was used to detain prisoners serving long-term sentences before the apocalypse." Elena said as she looked around.
Even though this place has undergone considerable renovation, when it comes to prisons, who is more familiar with it than Elena? The prisons in several eastern districts are simply Elena's home. She knows how to get there with her eyes closed.
"Hey! What's the big deal about you betraying the Federation and locking me up?" Tang Mary was very dissatisfied. Now there was no one around. She took a quick look and realized that there seemed to be someone missing: "No, that child--" Where is the mother?
Bai Chuan raised his voice and interrupted Tang Mary, "How can that child be locked up too?!"
Seeing Bai Chuan interrupt her, Tang Mali changed her mind and thought that there was someone outside who might be of some use. She tactfully retracted her words and sneered, "You still have the mood to worry about other people's children? Think about yourself!"
They were locked up for a long time. At first they would occasionally speak a few words, but later everyone became quiet.
Nearly four hours later, someone came and opened the door of Lou Tiannan's room. Song Yan, Zhou Yu and others were very worried, but he said, "It's okay."
He followed the men through the corridor and up another flight of stairs, arriving at a simple office furnished with only a desk and chair. There was already a man sitting in the chair, obviously waiting for him.
"Director Zhuang." Lou Tiannan spoke.
"That's right, you still recognize me as the director." Security Bureau Director Zhuang Liang nodded his chin and motioned him to sit down.
Lou Tiannan stood still: "Are you going to interrogate me?"
"You have an unclear relationship with the betrayer Elena. Do you think I should interrogate you?" Zhuang Liang asked calmly, with an undisguised scrutiny in his wrinkled eyes.
In the office, two people were standing and one was sitting, and the atmosphere was stagnant.
…
In prison
"Why hasn't Captain Lou come back yet?" Zhou Yu sat restlessly.
"Maybe they took him out and killed him." Tang Mary didn't have a good impression of those who pointed guns at her.
"Ms. Tang, have you ever heard the story of the dog being abandoned after the rabbit is dead?" Elena said gently.
Tang Mary understood the meaning behind Elena's words. She pulled a stool from the room and sat at the door without fear. "Then the dog will be cooked after the rabbit has died? Oh, it depends on whether they can bear the consequences!"
She then said, "Elena, why did you surrender at that time? Qiu Tu ran away, and you were caught. What a joke!"
Elena was right across from Tang Mary. She said calmly, "Ms. Tang wouldn't want to try the taste of a biological bomb, would you?"
"Then why did Qiu Tu run away?!" Tang Mali was very dissatisfied.
Bai Chuan said lazily: "Qiu Tu escaped from Elena's hands three times before the end of the world. Now it's normal for him to escape from the Security Bureau with his dual-element abilities!"
After hearing what Baichuan said, Elena looked thoughtful. Baichuan reminded her that she had been staring at Qiu Tu at that time. Now thinking carefully, it seemed that Qiu Tu only defended and did not attack when he attacked in the first two minutes after the Security Bureau arrived, and he kept retreating.
She wondered if Qiu Tu had a trick up his sleeve, but now that she recalled it, she wondered if he had known the Security Bureau was coming. No, if he had known the Security Bureau was coming, he wouldn't have been playing tricks on them.
Moreover, based on her understanding of the strength of the Security Bureau, at that level, even if Qiu Tu hid in the crowd, there was a possibility of being captured. However, those people from the Security Bureau had no intention of capturing him at all. Instead, they were staring at them.
"Elena? What are you thinking about?" Tang Mary looked at Elena who was lost in thought, wondering if she had any countermeasures.
"Wondering when we can get out."
"Are we still waiting for them to let us go? Don't we want to save ourselves? Can't you open this old-fashioned lock?" Tang Mali noticed the lock on the door as soon as she came in. It wasn't an electronic lock, but a mechanical lock from decades ago that required a key to open. Tang Mali thought for a moment and formed a steel wire in her hand. "Let me try."
She carefully inserted the wire at her fingertips. As soon as the wire touched the keyhole, her fingers trembled violently and the wire fell to the ground. She exclaimed in surprise, "What the hell!"
"Ms. Tang, I advise you not to try again. This lock is connected to high voltage electricity and the alarm in the corridor in front. If you try to open it by force, you will either be electrocuted to death by the high voltage electricity or be discovered by the alarm." Elena had already observed the prison's defense line on the way in.
After hearing this, Tang Mary stopped trying and complained, "It's been so long since the apocalypse, and you guys at the Security Bureau aren't really researching how to combat the zombie virus. What the hell are you doing all day long?"
As they were talking, footsteps were heard in the corridor. Zhou Yu and others thought it was Lou Tiannan who came back, but they didn't expect that it was someone from the Security Bureau. This time they opened the door of Tang Mary's room.
"Hey, where are you taking me?!" Tang Mary was still shouting, and she didn't know what was said on the other end, but she actually followed quietly.
"They won't take us away one by one and interrogate us one by one!" Wen Xia Xia guessed.
"Interrogate me if you want! I haven't done anything to offend the Federation!" Zhou Yu was holding back his anger. "I'm living among zombies and thugs every day, and I'm still suspected by the Federation. What kind of life is this!"
Soon, someone else came and took Baichuan away.
Then came Zhu Liang, Song Yan, Zhou Yu, Wen Xia Xia, Xi Ya...
Elena was the only one left in the prison. She knew the interrogation process better than anyone else, and she also knew that Lou Tiannan and the others would be fine if they followed the process. The Security Bureau could not get anything out of Lou Tiannan and the others.
She stood alone in the small room, looking at the window outside the iron bars. It was dark outside the window. She knew that it was a fake window. What was the function of a fake window?
“It’s a psychological effect!”
The bright and beautiful girl's words echoed in her mind without hesitation. Her dark, round eyes looked at her seriously and said, "Elena, I'm telling you, you have to give the prisoners some hope. If the underground prison can't be reformed, then give them a window. Otherwise, they will serve a long sentence, living underground every day. Be careful not to develop psychological problems. When they are finally released, all they will be released are mentally ill."
In the end, she listened to Mi Xing and installed a fake window in each underground prison room. The window was actually an electronic screen that would synchronize the weather conditions outside every day before the end of the world.
For example, if the sun is shining, the window will show blue sky, white clouds and the sun; if it is raining heavily, the window will show dark clouds and lightning...
At first, there was no apparent effect, but later, when Elena compared the physical data of prisoners with and without windows, she had to admit that Mi Xing's suggestion was very correct. Mi Xing could always give her some surprises in places she could not imagine.
She met Mi Xing by chance. She first met Mi Xing when she was investigating a murder case three years ago. Mi Xing gave her key inspiration in that case. The three-year unsolved case was solved, and they naturally became friends.
Many people wanted to be her friends, but she was willing to make friends with very few. Mi Xing was one of them. She admired Mi Xing's talent and wanted to recommend her to the Security Bureau, but Mi Xing frowned and said with disdain, "No, no, I won't go into that cage of yours! You're all workaholics!"
All? She noticed these two words, but didn't ask any further questions. Later, as they interacted, she vaguely realized from the details that Mi Xing seemed to have a connection with the 621 Pharmacopoeia Research Institute.
She didn't investigate deliberately, but found clues in a sudden kidnapping case.
In that kidnapping case, Mi Xing became the kidnapper's hostage and she became the commander of the rescue operation. The skyscrapers in the West Fifth District were complex, the kidnappers were crazy and dangerous, and no one knew the details of the building, making the rescue of the hostages extremely difficult.
Just when everyone was at a loss, she received a strange signal frequency in her headphones. From the knocking sounds, she immediately recognized that the person sending the signal was Mi Xing. When she was interpreting the information given by Mi Xing, she saw an unexpected person in the command room.
The dean of the 621 Pharmacognosy Research Institute and also her teacher, Xiao Hehua.
Elena saw an expression on her teacher's face that she rarely saw, worry.
Who is she worried about?
Without time to think about it, with the help of Mi Xing, she eliminated some of her subordinates' incidents, and the hostage rescue plan went smoothly.
When Mi Xing was rescued, her teacher took a look from a distance and then left.
Her teacher came and went in a hurry and silently, and few people knew about it. Even if they knew, they would only think that he was concerned about her as a student. However, only Elena caught a glimpse of the secret connection between Mi Xing and her teacher from this kidnapping case.
"My teacher is amazing!" Elena remembered saying this to Mi Xing after she was rescued.
But Mi Xing smiled brightly, shook her index finger at her, and said, "Don't test me, Elena."
It is a warning and also an answer.
It does matter, but she doesn't want to say it.
So Elena stopped asking.
Elena's gaze as she looked out the window became soft yet firm. One was her mentor and the other was her cherished friend, so she should try her best to save her.
