Chapter 527: Mist. Fighting poison with poison
Although Song Yunfei didn't like factional disputes, he had been in the base for seven or eight years and could see clearly that the director and deputy director usually had their own power. The last deputy director framed the director but was caught leaking the base's secrets, and ended up committing suicide out of fear of punishment.
Zhe Xiguang must also want to build up his own power, but the director has been here for many years, and his foundation is very solid, and he will never be able to shake it. Moreover, when the end of the world comes, except for a company of soldiers specially sent by the higher-ups, there are no new people joining, so he can't fool the new people even if he wants to.
Of course, he can also win over people who had no party affiliation before, but this path is more difficult. Those who do not want to participate in the battle for the position of president or vice president are either smart or very upright people. How can he convince them?
Zhou Zhengyong in front of him is one of the more upright people, but he obviously admires the director more. He once fought with someone in the cafeteria regardless of his status, just because that person said something bad about the director.
After sorting out his thoughts, Song Yunfei felt that Zhe Xiguang agreed with Zhou Zhengyong's opinion because he wanted to eliminate dissidents while the director was away from the base, and he tried his best to prevent this from happening.
"Maybe there is another way, we can try it." Song Yunfei said at the right time.
Everyone's eyes fell on him again. Cheng Hao hurriedly followed him, winking at him and whispering, "Can you please not cause trouble? At worst, we can just do as the office director said and hide in the base or evacuate everyone first. Even if they can conquer the ventilation duct, it will take time, enough time for the director to bring people back."
"If you have any ideas, just speak up." Zhe Xiguang said sternly.
Cheng Hao fell silent immediately. Although he was usually very strict with his subordinates, he was actually a little timid. When he wanted to do good things, he always thought twice, for fear of being caught.
Song Yunfei nodded to Cheng Hao, then stepped forward and said, "My method is very simple, fighting poison with poison."
"Poison?" Chief Wang of the Logistics Department asked hastily, "What kind of poison?"
Song Yunfei thought of this idea only when he suspected that there was something wrong with the water. His eyes narrowed slightly, "Use the mist to contain them."
Everyone was shocked. They were well aware of the toxicity of the fog. There were still more than 30 people unconscious due to the fog in the medical center.
"Are you kidding?" someone questioned.
"That's right. You know how much effort we put in and how many talents we sacrificed to divert the fog to the west." Someone agreed.
Zhe Xiguang also had a gloomy look on his face, and was obviously not very satisfied with this method.
Song Yunfei smiled slightly. These people's reactions were within his expectations. He interrupted everyone's complaints, mainly because time was tight. "Although the fog is terrible, it is a passive attack. As long as we don't enter it, there will be no problem. But the spiders now are actively attacking, and we have no way to deal with them. Even if the director and the company commander come back, they will only use human lives to fill the gap."
"Then...then you can guarantee that this method will work. Let's not waste our time..."
"Let him speak." Zhe Xiguang interrupted the person who was interrupting Song Yunfei and signaled him to finish speaking as soon as possible.
Song Yunfei continued, "We can use Dr. Zhao's laser fog dispeller to draw the fog back."
Three months ago, for unknown reasons, this unexplained fog began to appear in the mountains. A large area of about 1,000 square meters also appeared on the west side of the base. At that time, the toxicity of the fog was unknown, and many people died. Those who survived are all lying in the medical center.
Later, Dr. Zhao invented the laser fog dispeller, which focuses a light beam on the fog, causing the fog to flow along the beam, thus directing the poisonous fog 500 meters away.
"This is a good idea." Cheng Hao agreed. "Dr. Zhao has upgraded the fog dispeller. It can work for 24 hours and its light focusing is more stable. As long as we form a fog wall around the base, we can resolve the crisis."
"Then have you ever thought that these spiders are not afraid of fog?" asked Chief Wang of the Logistics Department.
"Then what other ideas do you have?" Zhou Zhengyong also thought this was a good idea, and he spoke a little louder.
"What's your attitude? Everyone is trying to find a solution, why are you so anxious?"
"Why should I be anxious? It's you who are too long-winded."
"Okay, stop arguing." Zhe Xiguang held his forehead and thought, and everyone changed the verbal confrontation to eye contact.
"Deputy Director, time is running out. You have to make a decision as soon as possible." Song Yunfei frowned as he looked at the soldiers who had retreated to the front of the protective net.
Zhe Xiguang clenched his teeth and nodded, "You can try this method. Yunfei, I'll leave this to you. Section Chief Zhou, Section Chief Wang, you two will assist Yunfei."
Section Chief Wang is the head of the logistics section, named Wang Rende, in his 50s, talkative, obedient to his superiors, harsh and punishing his subordinates, and full of official power. But what makes Song Yunfei curious is that he never participates in the dispute between the chief and deputy chief, and pleases everyone.
"No need, I'll ask the action team to do it." Song Yunfei didn't dare to use them. He was just a team leader. How could he let the section chief help him? Isn't it obvious that he would make enemies?
"Old Liu is still in the medical center. Your information department does not have a section chief for the time being, so you can take over the position of section chief temporarily." Zhe Xiguang was afraid that someone would object again, so he hurriedly said, "This matter is settled. There is no time to lose, go and do it."
Song Yunfei didn't expect that a proposal would get him a promotion, but now was not the time to think too much, so he could only go out and find Dr. Zhao.
Zhou Zhengyong and Section Chief Wang followed him out. Zhou Zhengyong was fine, but Section Chief Wang's face was obviously not good. Even if Song Yunfei was promoted to acting section chief, his position was still below his.
He called a few of his men to follow him.
"I'll go out and take a look too." Cheng Hao felt that the atmosphere here was even more weird, and hurriedly chased after Song Yunfei.
Zhe Xiguang did not stop them and let the older middle-level managers go to rest. This night was too thrilling. He hoped that Song Yunfei's method would be effective.
Alas, he has been warned three times by his superiors. If he does it again, he will need to return to Beijing for investigation.
He doesn't want to go back, and he can't go back!
…
Song Yunfei came to Dr. Zhao's laboratory. Mou Ci had just finished three hours of physical monitoring, which was a daily procedure.
He was putting on his shirt when he saw so many people coming in. He took a step back cautiously and put on his T-shirt.
"Yunfei, why are you here?" Dr. Zhao walked over and smiled sincerely.
As he got closer, he found that there were several people following him. He pushed his glasses and smiled less. Zhou Zhengyong was okay, he didn't mind, but Wang Rende looked unhappy. He had no moral integrity and only knew how to flatter.
"Oh, the sun is rising from the west. The person who was least willing to come to my laboratory is here." These words were said to Wang Rende, who couldn't stand the sour smell in the laboratory.
"Zhao Donglai, do you know what's going on outside? How can you still have the leisure to sit here and make sarcastic remarks?" Wang Rende rolled his eyes.
"What's going on?" Zhao Donglai didn't care. "Could there be a more difficult situation than the natural disasters in the past two years?"
Wang Rende sneered, "You are right. If the problem outside is not solved now, you will not live to see tomorrow."
Zhao Donglai frowned. He had always been absorbed in his research and rarely paid attention to what was happening outside. He looked at Song Yunfei and became serious. "What's going on?"
As soon as Song Yunfei came in, he looked at Mou Ci. He was thin and strong, with pine-like eyebrows and eyes, and he looked very heroic. He was very different from the sickly image when he was first brought back.
"The base has been attacked by an unknown type of spider. The spiders are very poisonous and there are a lot of them. The situation outside is very critical now." Song Yunfei withdrew his gaze from Mou Ci and said to Zhao Dong seriously, "I need your laser fog dispeller. I am going to draw the fog over to stop the spiders from attacking the base."
Zhao Donglai was surprised. "Aren't you afraid of getting yourself into trouble? My antidote is still in its early stages, and I haven't tested it on humans. What if someone gets poisoned?"
"That's better than being poisoned by the spider now," said Wang Rende.
"Dr. Zhao, you have no choice but to give it a try now. People are dying outside every minute and every second," Zhou Zhengyong said.
Dr. Zhao no longer hesitated. He had been in the base for quite a while, and now it was the end of the world. If the base was gone, he had no idea where to go.
"Wait, I'll get it now."
He called Mou Ci and his assistant to go to the back warehouse, and soon they pushed out the fog dispelling devices on a cart, four in total.
"Do you need help?" Mou Ci suddenly said, "My body has basically recovered."
"Let him go, he's very powerful, and he won't have to worry about the fog anymore."
Song Yunfei thought about it and nodded, "Okay, follow me."
