Chapter 541: Mist. Crisis on the Ninth Floor
The entire base has 30 floors in total.
There is no one working on the ground. Floors 2-4 are the planting area, floor 1 is the reception hall, floors -1-5 are the work area, and floors -6-9 are the living area, including accommodation, living, medical care, and entertainment. Floors -10-11 are the shelters, where people who stay here permanently and are not in important positions live; floors -12 are three isolation rooms and logistics warehouses; floors -13-15 are the newly developed planting area and animal husbandry area; floors -16 have two research laboratories, one belongs to the medical center and the other to Dr. Zhao. Floor -17 is the equipment room, which has various large equipment to maintain the operation of the entire base. Floors -18-26 are the core of the entire base, and the reason for the existence of the base.
Chu An and the others didn't know the personnel structure of Minus 10 and Minus 11, but A Feng and Team Leader Ge knew it clearly. They were all heavy manual laborers, and they were considered middle and lower class in the base, and they often made trouble. If they all came up, how would they be organized?
Clang——
The door was kicked open, and everyone was startled. Then there were knocks on the door, "Open the door, whoever is inside."
A Feng's eyes lit up. The person who spoke was his captain Cui Yingjie.
"It's the captain." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Ah Feng hurried to open the door. There were more than 20 soldiers holding weapons standing outside the door. As soon as the door opened, they rushed in. However, he was a little shocked to see the situation here. There were not so many people fighting when he went to deal with Thirteen just now.
They drove the crowd together and surrounded them. Afeng came to Cui Yingjie and reported the general situation. Cui Yingjie was stunned. He went mad, was as strong as an ox, and was bloodthirsty?
He pursed his lips, but when he heard that the condition was under control, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately went to see the person who was sick.
When he passed by Lao Ge, he glared at him, a guy who was always causing trouble but could not do anything good. Lao Ge was sweating profusely and slumped on the ground, with no image at all.
"Everyone, stand to the east." Cui Yingjie's men ordered the troublemakers to go east, where there were ten cells that had not been opened. Chu An and Gang Zi were in one of them, and they did not move. They just watched others gather around them. Gu Ye and Guo Zi quickly came to Chu An's side.
"From now on, no one is allowed to speak or leave the isolation room without our order."
On the other side, Cui Yingjie walked up to Wu Mengmeng. She was pressed to the ground by three steel forks. Her face had turned blue and black, her eyes were wide open and red, and her body was flowing with not only blood but also pus, and her body was twitching.
Cui Yingjie took a deep breath. This kind of thing must be reported immediately. If it goes wrong, the whole base will suffer. He asked the deputy captain Gao Yuan to control the people, and he went to the central control console to call the upper level.
Chu An was facing him sideways and could only see half of his mouth opening and closing. She couldn't even see his entire mouth shape from the front, let alone from the side. She gave up looking at Cui Yingjie and locked Sun Hao with her hands.
But it couldn't go on like this forever, so Cui Yingjie had to open the cell door. Just as she was about to speak, Cui Yingjie put down the phone and looked over at her, his brows furrowed like a mountain range.
"Captain, how do we deal with them?"
He wanted to send them to the medical center, but seeing how they were, they probably wouldn't survive, and he was also afraid that they would infect his men. He made up his mind and waved his hand, and the nearest soldier shot Wu Mengmeng's head like a hornet's nest with a burst of bullets, and she was completely dead.
"Captain, there is another one over there." A Feng reminded.
Cui Yingjie waved his hand again, saying that he couldn't favor one over the other. Immediately, two armed team members stood in front of cell No. 8, raised their guns, and signaled Chu An, Gu Ye and others to leave.
"There are still people alive inside." Gu Ye stepped forward, grasped the gun barrel, and asked sharply, "Are you planning to use a submachine gun?"
"Get out of the way and don't delay our mission." The armed team member shouted.
"Is it your duty to kill innocent people?" Gu Ye was indignant.
"Get out of the way." The team members refused to budge, "Don't blame us if we get hurt."
At this time, there was a sudden noise in the corridor, and it was getting louder and louder. There were also people talking about saving people, isolating, evacuating, etc.
Cui Yingjie looked at Sun Hao and saw that he was still in the cell and would not come out to bite anyone, so he asked his men to open the door and take a look.
The team member at the door immediately opened it, and two sweaty men, one tall and one short, stood outside. The two were startled by the sudden opening of the door and looked inside tremblingly.
They are the security captain (Hu Li) and the manager (Jin Dachuan) on the 11th floor. There are 47 people behind them, including 23 children, all of whom are looking around.
Cui Yingjie hurriedly stopped his men, saying that they could not kill people in front of so many people as it would affect their image. Of course, he did not want to kill innocent people indiscriminately, he just panicked for a moment.
"What's going on? What are you doing here with so many people?" asked the team member at the door.
"I...I'm looking for Captain Cui." Hu Li wiped the sweat from his head, a little anxious.
"If you have something to say, tell me quickly. Captain Cui is busy!" The only thing the team members could think of was that someone was trying to start a fight again. They had just gone to the thirteenth floor to deal with a fight, and when they came back they heard the noise here, so they came over to take a look.
"Um... there seems to be an accident on the ninth floor. Didn't you hear the announcement?"
"What notice?"
There was interference where they were, and the ninth floor was a medical center, and there was a medical disturbance? This shouldn't be the case. Captain Li and Team Leader Song had just brought people down to help.
"Yes, this matter cannot be explained in a short time. Hey, please ask Captain Cui to come out, I really have something urgent to do."
The team members had some impression of this security captain, who was not the kind of person who would blow up or shout randomly. He asked his companions to go find Cui Yingjie.
Cui Yingjie also heard the general situation and followed his men over. Hu Li immediately whispered in his ear, "My brother is on the ninth floor. He saw a patient going crazy and injuring many soldiers. He escaped with great difficulty and told me specifically."
Cui Yingjie's eyes widened, "You can't talk nonsense about this."
"Really, it's true." The manager nearby was so anxious that he was jumping up and down. Those upstairs were able to escape, but those downstairs could only wait to die.
Cui Yingjie rubbed his hands and asked his men to send them to Isolation Room No. 3 first, where no one was locked up. He returned to the central control console and called the ninth floor again, but no one answered. He then called Zhou Zhengyong, the deputy director, and the director, but no one answered.
"Hey, stop calling, open the door quickly and let me out." Lao Chu really didn't want to stay for a moment.
"Were you bitten?" asked the guard next to him.
"No." Lao Chu said as he showed them his hand.
"We can't let him out." A staff member at the center console shouted, "What if the wound is not on his hand? This will harm everyone."
The female voice next to her echoed, "Two of them would be hard to deal with. What if they come out and infect everyone?"
Cui Yingjie felt very nervous as he listened to their words. If they were really trapped here, with only twenty or so people, what would they do?
"It's better to be careful." Many people in the cell also defected. Maybe they just wanted to escape during the chaos and didn't even think about helping. Many people avoided cell 8 and looked at Chu An and others with complicated eyes.
"Who can prove that it is contagious?" Guozi asked indignantly.
"Then you can't prove that it doesn't exist." Everyone started arguing again.
Chu An connected to the space and asked Grandma Xia about the spider venom. Grandma Xia said that they had to wait a little longer, as the spider venom was very complicated and it would take at least two hours to find a solution.
"Is Wang Ce back?"
"We don't need him now. Once I separate the toxin, there will be enough time for him to research the antidote."
Chu An was extremely grateful that he had saved Grandma Xia and Grandpa Gao.
"Although it has not been completely separated yet, it is certain that spider venom cannot be transmitted from person to person."
"What's the meaning?"
"It means that you can't get the disease if you come into contact with the poisoned person's blood, saliva, or stay in the same room with them. I still stick to my point of view. The poisoned people won't go crazy, unless... they are poisoned by something else at the same time as the spider venom."
Chu An understood, and while retracting his mental power, he pulled out a short knife from his waist, kicked Sun Hao's knee, and inserted the knife into his neck the moment he knelt. The blade rotated 180 degrees and cut off his head directly, cleanly and neatly.
In an instant, the sounds around stopped, and only the people not knowing what was going on not far away were still buzzing.
The round head bounced on the ground, rolled to the side, and died with its eyes open.
