Chapter 55: No Man, Only Gold (3) Excellent Killer, Love...
After Duan Song left, Wei Wei's shoulders suddenly slumped. He slumped in the chair, pinching Qingming Xue, and spoke after a while:
"Mr. Blind, my life is in your hands for these 13 days."
Gao Mengtang said with a smile: "Don't worry, if a fight really breaks out, who knows who will win or lose."
"Duan Song stayed for 13 days. Have you ever thought about why?" Wei Wei half-opened his eyes and stared at the floor. "The indenture signed by the Black Gull Killer is different from ordinary contracts. They signed [Glory and Death]"
After the contract is signed, the leader will give them tasks. If they are not completed within 15 days, the leader can remotely control and force them into "death soldier status".
By then, the killer will do whatever it takes, even sacrifice his own life, just to complete the mission.
Wei Wei: "Three days before entering the game, we robbed the vault. It should be on the second day, that is, two days before entering the game, that Duan Song received the mission and the countdown to the death squad mode began."
"Now, there are 13 days left in the countdown."
"After 13 days, if he fails to complete the mission, he will become Yin Mingwu's remote-controlled weapon and enter the state of a dead soldier. Duan Song's offense and defense will increase exponentially."
"Brother Wei, what are your chances of winning against him?" He Lun asked with a concerned look on his face.
Wei Wei slowly filled the tobacco leaves: "Under normal circumstances, fifty-fifty."
He Lun asked again: "What if he enters the state of a dead soldier?"
Wei Wei: "30% to 70%."
He Lun slapped his thigh and laughed: "That's not bad, the state of the dead soldiers is not that scary. Brother Wei, you don't have to worry too much. At worst, we can fight to the death. I am willing to sacrifice myself for glory!"
Wei Wei said coldly: "Duan Song should use only 30% of his strength and eat until he is 70% full."
He Lun: "...Then don't sacrifice yourself blindly."
After hesitating for a while and changing into the security team's combat uniforms, at three o'clock in the afternoon, eight players reported to the security center.
The Ritian Industrial Park covers an area equivalent to that of a university, but there are few people on the road. Occasionally, a man in black can be seen passing by in a hurry. He is wearing a suit and black sunglasses.
When they entered the security center, they were greeted by a man in black. He said straight to the point, "You are from the Zhongzhou Security Team, right? Welcome. You are all from the Zhongzhou government. You are in the eye of this typhoon, and I don't need to nag you about what happened in the Ritian Industrial Park."
When the man in black NPC speaks, the system page pops up and the background story is automatically presented.
[Background Story] On September 15, 362, the first wave of "zombies" appeared in the Ritian Industrial Park. Most of the mutants were staff members in the park, with different identities, including scientific researchers, workers, clerical staff, publicity and media planners, etc. A few were migrant construction workers.
According to the investigation, before the mutation occurred, the staff had all used the [Crystal Pump] produced by Ritian Industrial Park. Investigators found a needle hole for poison injection on the PCTG (highly transparent copolyester material) outer shell of the crystal pump.
The relevant agencies in Zhongzhou ordered the Ritian Industrial Park to suspend operations for rectification, detained the chairman of the Ritian Industrial Park, Qian Hao, and dispatched a security team to the park to carry out a series of tasks.
The tasks of the security team (8 people) include:
1. Assist researchers to analyze zombie poison and develop antidote (2 people)
2. Control the zombie crowd (2 people)
3. Maintaining public order in the park (2 persons)
4. Assist investigators to find the poisoning gang (2 people)
After the last word appeared, the entire screen flashed for a few seconds and then disappeared.
Task Panel Updates:
[Main Mission 1]: Survive for 15 days
[Main Mission 2]: Find the criminal evidence of the mastermind behind the poisoning case and kill him.
"Dear guests from the Zhongzhou government, you have come from afar, so please have a good rest first. The matters of the Ritian Industrial Park, maintaining public order, and investigating the poisoner can be left to us." The man in black wore sunglasses, bared his white teeth, and smiled brightly.
Gao Mengtang: "Who are you?"
After asking these four words, the man in black froze for a moment, then returned to normal: "This is a long story..."
It turns out that there are more than 20,000 employees in the Ritian Industrial Park, half of whom turned into zombies after using the [Crystal Pump].
They were all proud children, with excellent grades, graduated from prestigious universities, had decent jobs with high incomes, and were outstanding young men and women. Suddenly, they became monsters, causing public outrage and public opinion was boiling.
A real estate boss was outraged when he heard about this. He spent a huge amount of money, joined forces with other victims' families, and hired a large number of agents to enter the Ritian Industrial Park.
The family members all agreed that the poisoner was Qian Hao. In order to make huge profits, he made the drugs he produced more addictive and injected zombie poison into the crystal pump.
The man in black spread his hands and said, "Qian Hao is highly suspected, but everything requires evidence, and we are here to find evidence. Send Qian Hao to court and sentence him to death!"
The eight players who "traveled" from the future to the dungeon know the ending of the crystal zombie case: Qian Hao was sentenced to death. The thriving Ritian Industrial Park was cut off and turned into a wasteland.
The man in black kept talking nonsense.
"The main mission 2 means that we should find evidence of Qian Hao's crime and then kill him?" He Lun communicated with his teammates through mental link.
Bai Jie agreed: "That should be the case."
"I have checked the information and found that the verdict has not been published." Wei Wei also joined the mental discussion.
Unfortunately, after Qian Hao was executed, the details of the trial were not made public. The public only knew that this person had committed a crime, but they knew nothing about how he committed the crime or where the evidence was.
"By the way, what are your assigned tasks?" He Lun asked.
The security team consists of eight people, each group of two is responsible for four tasks.
Wei Wei and He Lun are in a team responsible for arresting the zombie employees and detaining them until the antidote is developed, maybe they can be rescued.
As zombie toxins spread into the environment, the surrounding wild animals and plants also mutated, and they were also responsible for killing the mutated animals and plants.
Bai Jie and Shengun are in a team. They are responsible for maintaining public order in the park."
After saying these polite words, the man in black clapped his hands and said, "Okay. Everyone, go and have a rest first. We can leave the park to you."
The players didn't intend to hand it over to the men in black, as they still had to complete the main quest. All eight of them said they wanted to start working quickly.
The man in black said helplessly: "Okay, this way is the research area, you two can go through. Other distinguished guests, please follow me."
Gao Mengtang subconsciously followed his teammate, holding his forearm with one hand.
"Senior, where are you going?" Duan Song asked with a smile, "We are the first group, responsible for the scientific research work of developing the antidote."
Gao Mengtang: Huh?
Antidote development.
research.
After a few seconds of pause, Gao Mengtang asked, "Junior, how are your grades?"
"Very good," Duan Song smiled confidently, "The total score of the college entrance examination is 233."
...outrageous.
The system didn't implant any knowledge into their brains. Antidote development? I'm afraid the lab will explode.
"Come on," Duan Song held the senior's arm and walked towards the laboratory. "Although our academic performance is comparable, we are both good-looking. Maybe, after seeing you and me, those researchers will be excited and their work efficiency will double."
Gao Mengtang immediately drew a line in the sand: "Who is on par with you? My total score in the college entrance examination is more than twice yours."
Snap. A crack appeared on Duan Song's perfect smile.
Enter the scientific research area and change into protective clothing.
The clinking of glassware, the beeping of alarms on the dashboard, the humming of machines... and also the dry, hoarse, creepy roars.
In the center of the experimental area, zombie-like people were tied to the operating table, and researchers were injecting drugs into their veins.
Gao Mengtang had just eaten the eye-protecting blueberries when he saw this scene:
A man with dark blue skin and completely white eyes, his limbs were tightly bound. When the needle pierced his arm, he struggled angrily, and the steel bed shook violently.
A tube of medicine was pushed in, and the zombie's skin quickly dissolved. Dirty black blood gushed out like a fountain, and its limbs were dragged very long, hanging to the floor like rubber strips.
The anger turned into painful sobs, and within a few seconds, the zombie's bones dissolved, and a gurgling sound of breathing came from its throat.
Gao Mengtang was surprised: "You don't conduct animal experiments, but directly use drugs on living people?"
The researcher looked tired. He glanced at Gao Mengtang, then looked at the security team uniform on him and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
After the second questioning, someone spoke lazily, "How can we have the time? Tens of thousands of people have been infected. According to the normal process, we need to do preliminary studies such as pharmacology and toxicology first, and then phase III clinical trials. If it takes more than ten years, what will happen to the imprisoned zombies? What if the virus spreads? Send thousands of people to guard the place every day? Who will bear the cost?"
Gao Mengtang wanted to argue again but was stopped by Duan Song.
"Senior, why bother about this? It all happened three years ago. What should have happened has already happened."
The melted flesh and blood was washed clean with a high-pressure water gun, new sheets were replaced, and new experimental subjects were tied up, as if nothing had happened.
All the researchers ignored the two Zhongzhou Security Team members. When they talked to them and asked them about the progress of the experiment, how the shift schedule was arranged, etc., they either remained silent or snorted.
Not long ago, the men in black repeatedly told them: You guys go and have a rest, leave this to us.
It was obvious that these people in the park, whether they were the men in black or the researchers, did not welcome them.
Gao Mengtang and Duan Song were abandoned outside the glass door with nothing to do.
"I'm hated," Duan Songyi shrugged, "But I face this little setback with a smile. After all, I sent more than a hundred love letters, and someone so cold-hearted can't even remember my name."
The cold-hearted person pretended not to hear. He pondered for a moment and summoned [13-1028]
"Brother, do you know anything about developing an antidote?"
Gao Geng straightened his brother's slightly crooked bun and said, "I read a few papers when I came here."
"It doesn't matter," Gao Mengtang said with a smile, "Just say you are my assistant, helping me complete scientific research tasks. Infiltrate them and gather intelligence."
He leaned close to his brother's ear and lowered his voice: "Please ask clearly which organization sent these researchers."
"What were you whispering to this handsome guy about, behind my back?" Duan Song crossed his arms and apologized hypocritically, "I have very good hearing and I overheard it by accident."
At this time, Gao Geng had put on a white coat, long sleeves and protective gloves to cover the metal arm, and entered the experimental area.
"Don't be idle either," Gao Mengtang said, "bring me a chair and pour me a glass of water."
Duan Song opened his eyes wide and pointed at himself: "Me? Senior, you should understand that I am going to kill your most capable person. Now it's your turn to please me."
Gao Mengtang said innocently: "You don't want to? Then I'll move it myself."
Having said that, Gao Mengtang had no intention of moving at all.
Duan Song resigned himself to his fate and moved a chair over, poured a glass of water, tested the temperature with his fingers, and stuffed it into Gao Mengtang's arms.
Just after taking a sip of water, I saw Gao Geng being pushed hard by a researcher in the experimental area.
The researcher had an impatient look on his face as he rubbed and rubbed the equipment that Gao Geng had touched, his disgust evident in his words.
Gao Mengtang immediately became unhappy. Just as he was about to stand up, Duan Song pressed his shoulders and pushed him back into the chair.
"Senior, don't you just want to know who sent the researcher? I'll go ask. A good assassin has a high emotional intelligence. A few words can touch his heart. I will definitely find out the truth about this little thing."
Duan Song patted his shoulder, telling him to rest assured. He straightened his clothes, walked into the experimental area, and talked to a researcher with his arm around his shoulder.
Then, he held the researcher's neck and took him to a quiet and deserted place in the corridor.
Gao Mengtang hurriedly followed.
"What exactly do you want to tell me? We are busy with work, please don't waste our time." The researcher frowned.
Duan Song smiled good-naturedly: "Just three sentences, come on, you come."
The next second, there was a bang, and the researcher was thrown against the wall. Duan Song grabbed his neck with his left hand and pulled out a knife with his right hand, pressing it against his jaw.
The details of his face did not change when he smiled, but his eyes suddenly became fierce. Duan Song asked coldly, "Who sent you?"
Gao Mengtang: ...Is this what you call "high emotional intelligence"?
But it does work.
"You, what are you doing!" The researcher was shaking with fear.
Duan Song: "Three. If you don't speak, this knife will crush your brain."
"Three, two..."
The sharp knife cut through the skin, and it seemed that in the next second, it would pierce through the jaw and enter the mouth.
Between life and death, the researcher completely collapsed: "Blue Needle Headquarters! We were sent by Blue Needle's CEO Xu! Crystal Pump is a substitute for Blue Needle, and the two ingredients are 95% similar. CEO Xu is worried that the matter will get out of hand and affect Blue Needle's sales, so he asked us to quickly develop an antidote!"
