Chapter 233 The Seriousness of the Problem (33)
"Okay, I'll find you when you wake up. You guys have to come down for dinner anyway, so we won't miss it." Then, Brother Zhang said, "Do you still have your old phones? Connect them to the base's Wi-Fi so you can keep in touch."
It doesn’t matter whether the previous one is there or not. There are many new mobile phones in Lan Jin’s space, and even if the previous one is gone, the four of them will have new ones to use.
Lan Jin said: "Yes, we have them all. I'll write down the WIFI password later. Once it's connected, we can go upstairs and sleep."
Zhang Ge said, "No need to remember. I'll give you a flyer with the Wi-Fi password on it. Since not many people use it, you need to go to the service desk to get it. This rule is the same for every base. The flyer has the password and QR code on it. Scan the QR code to download the base app.
This app is universal across all bases. It will locate the base you're connected to via Wi-Fi. The news for each base is different, but important news that can't be missed will be pinned to the top of the app and played on the base's LED screen in a loop, so don't worry about missing anything. There's quite a bit of information here, so I hope you'll find it useful."
The medical vehicle they were riding in was at the end of the line. After the people in the three vehicles in front had their temperatures checked one by one, the driver was able to drive the vehicle into the base.
By the time it was finally their turn, a quarter of an hour had passed. To be honest, the time was still very fast, but they had to be tested. After all, almost all of them were injured, and they could not be allowed to pass without checking their body temperatures.
But after entering the base, Lao Gao suddenly realized that there seemed to be one thing they hadn't figured out this time. He looked at Brother Zhang and asked, "Didn't you say you would show us which plant could cause mutations? Why didn't you point it out once we got in?"
Hearing this, Brother Zhang laughed and said, "Well, it's not that I didn't point it out to you, it's that I didn't see the plant myself. I guess it didn't grow to the side where we blew it up. There are two other places I haven't been to, so who knows, maybe they are those two places."
Lao Gao was speechless. "Don't you have any pictures? I'm itching to see it."
Zhang looked helpless. He pulled out his phone and connected to the internet, then searched through his chat history for a photo of the plant. "I don't remember saving it, but chat logs are never deleted, so I can find it here. Wait a minute, but I'm telling you, this is confidential. Besides us, only the higher-ups know what it looks like. If it were someone else who hadn't seen it in person, I definitely wouldn't look through the photos when I come back."
As he spoke, Brother Zhang flipped through the pages for a long time, and finally, when he was about to lose his patience, he found the photo of the plant.
But when the four of them saw the photo of the plant clearly, they couldn't control themselves at all and cursed in unison, "Fuck you!"
Because that plant was none other than the one that had chased them all the way down the mountain, in other words, it was the plant that had injured everyone in their team.
Now, except for the four of them and Brother Zhang, everyone else was injured by the plants.
I'm sorry to say that Brother Zhang mentioned it before. Being injured by plants will have the same reaction as people who have eaten insect powder.
In other words, it won't take long for these people to develop a fever and then fall into madness.
Looking at the four people with nervous expressions, Brother Zhang really didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at first. He just looked at them in confusion. After a while, when he figured out the key point, the "fuck" he shouted was even louder than the four of them cursing together.
And this situation cannot be expressed with just a simple "Fuck".
There were more than 40 people in their group. Even if there were casualties along the way, there were still 35 people when they returned. Yes, this was the number that Brother Zhang had just counted. Among these 35 people, except for the four of them with superpowers, only Brother Zhang was not hurt by the grass. In other words, among the remaining 30 people, it won't be long before they will fall into a state of madness.
Lao Gao asked, "Brother Zhang, I remember you mentioned before that people who have eaten insect powder, eaten plants directly, or been injured by plants will first fall into a state of madness before developing supernatural powers, is that right?"
Brother Zhang nodded, "Yes."
Lan Jin asked, "When we had this symptom before, we treated it by eating salt. What about this base?"
Zhang Ge looked distressed. "If they had eaten insect powder or salt, it could be cured, but it's useless for plant scratches. We can only let them get through it on their own and it will be fine once it's relieved."
But the key point now is that there are too many people, and the base here cannot accommodate 30 people in a state of madness at once.
Although these people have not had a fever yet, who knows when they will mutate? More importantly, everyone was injured by the mutated plants on this trip, and only Brother Zhang came back alive. He himself didn't know how to explain to his superiors.
After a moment of distress, Brother Zhang immediately said sternly, "Everyone, go to the top floor."
Everyone who could have gone back to rest was confused when they heard Brother Zhang's order. Aren't they supposed to rest after returning? Why did they have to go to the top floor?
However, due to the situation, as a soldier, the most important thing is to obey orders. At Brother Zhang's command, everyone ran to the top floor.
Please note that the top floor here does not refer to the top floor of the current building, and they will not be asked to go up to the top floor at the same time. In other words, the top floor that Brother Zhang refers to is actually another place.
Everyone's eyes followed Brother Zhang to Zhangding, and at the top of the mountain, a towering building stood on the top, intact.
After everyone received the order to go up the mountain, Brother Zhang said, "You guys, don't go back to rest yet. If we can't control it, we may need your help."
The four of them didn't object, mainly because seeing Brother Zhang's expression, it was obvious that objection was useless. Lan Jin said, "Okay, let's go together, but where is that place?"
Brother Zhang led them and explained as they walked: "Don't be fooled by the beautiful appearance of the building. It is actually the laboratory of the base."
No one went into detail about what was being experimented on. They only said that it was extremely hard and could hold many things. All the people who had gone insane in the base and those who simply had a fever were locked up here. In addition, the mutant animals brought back from outside were also locked up there.
Of course, it definitely wouldn't be just one layer. They had built that place well long before the extreme cold, but they didn't expect it would be so useful after the extreme cold.
