Chapter 419: Alerting the Snake
Three days had passed after Captain Zhang had arranged everything.
After inviting Lan Jin and the other three out, Captain Zhang asked, "How big is your thing? Will this truck be big enough for me?"
Lao Gao took a look at the truck and saw that it was indeed large enough. He quickly said, "That's enough, that's enough. This is just enough."
After saying that, the four of them got in the car, and Captain Zhang immediately drove away from the base. After they were on the road, Lan Jin moved his mind and put all the amusement facilities into the car. Then Lan Jin winked at the other three.
Lao Gao immediately took the responsibility and said, "Alright, we've put it aside. Should we go out for a walk first or go back now?"
"How can we go back so soon? Let's take a walk first. Besides, I'm taking you out this time because I have something else to tell you." Captain Zhang said, his expression immediately becoming serious. "I know you don't want to get involved in these complicated things, but if I don't tell you about this, not only I, but also the people above me will be worried."
Then, while driving, Captain Zhang briefly told them about the problematic people found in the base and the problematic things they had done.
The end of the world is caused by natural disasters and is beyond human control. There is no doubt about this, so there is no problem.
But with their current technology and techniques, they are not completely unprepared for the coming of the end of the world, so for some of their insiders, the higher their positions, the more they know.
Therefore, some people take advantage of the coming of the end of the world to fulfill their ambitions.
Then they saw things that looked like non-blue planets living on the blue planet, such as lush forests, green lights, mutant creatures, humanoid mutant creatures... All the mutated things they saw were done by the person behind the scenes.
That person's purpose was naturally not to take advantage of the end of the world to make it more and more chaotic, but to take advantage of the end of the world to fulfill his own ambitions. However, he himself did not expect that his research would go wrong, and then he cleaned it up.
For example, humans have superpowers, which is something that person never expected.
Another example is one’s own death.
Yes, remember those three professors from the Beijing base? The oldest one was the initiator of this incident. Since then, the team has grown larger and larger, and has even penetrated into every area of the base.
Lan Jin naturally remembered the big incident that happened in the Jing City base. After all, that was when the strange tentacles first appeared.
But for those three researchers—
Sorry, she couldn't even remember her name, but she really didn't expect that she was the initiator of this matter, but was so easily swallowed up by her own research results. In the end, she didn't even leave her name. To be honest, this person is quite a failure.
But having said so much, what is their purpose?
Huang Jinghe said: "So, what exactly is he going to do? Even though he has sacrificed himself, this matter has not stopped yet."
Captain Zhang said solemnly, "They want to use the drugs they're researching to alter genes and thus prolong life. According to our research, the average human lifespan is now 100 years old. If their research is successful, human lifespan could reach 300 years. This gene vaccine needs to be injected into adulthood, that is, at the age of 18. Once the vaccine enters the body, its youth, middle age, and old age will all be extended."
Before the end of the world, they had already conducted experiments on animals. The vaccine at that time had just been developed and the effect was not obvious. After the vaccine was injected, the size of the animals would become larger, and the rest of the effects could not be seen at all. Naturally, they would not give up, and then they conspired with an organization and began to experiment on humans.
When the first batch of vaccines were injected into the human body, no mutations occurred. Just when everyone thought the vaccine was successful, an elderly man who had been vaccinated died not long after. Only then did the researchers who were developing the vaccine realize that the vaccine had failed.
They were unwilling to give up, but then they remembered why animals grow larger after being injected. Could this mean that the vaccine isn't completely useless, it's just the dosage...?
In short, they kept improving vaccines and conducting experiments on humans and animals, and then the world became completely chaotic.
After explaining the process, Captain Zhang concluded, "In short, during this period, the people at the base were not only busy settling the residents in, but they also took advantage of the chaos to quietly investigate the conspiracy behind it."
Lan Jin asked, "Then why are you sending us out alone?"
Captain Zhang said, "For the sake of the children, most of the people living in the base have been affected, but the children are all healthy. The base needs to continue, and so does Blue Star. So while we resolve those issues, we hope to send you to the school area to protect the children's safety."
Ling Jiang said, "Should all four of us go? That would be too much trouble. We'd know there's something wrong right away, and that would alert the enemy."
Captain Zhang said, "No, everyone in the base knows how important children are to us. The four of you have such strong abilities, so it's normal for you to be assigned to guard there. You don't need to worry. I will be there with you. After all, I have psychic abilities, so if anything happens, I will be able to sense it at any time."
Lao Gao asked, "You guys want to capture everyone, right? How long do we need to stay there?"
"There are a lot of people, but it won't last long."
After finishing what needed to be said, Captain Zhang turned around and drove back towards the base.
After finishing his explanation, Captain Zhang really felt a lot more relieved.
But it was different for Lan Jin and the other three. They suddenly felt that the burden on their shoulders had become much heavier.
As they approached the base, Lan Jin couldn't help but ask, "Captain Zhang, tell me the truth, are there people from that side inside the school?"
Captain Zhang opened his mouth, but he really didn't know how to answer, because there really were people inside the school. Although it was dangerous to keep them around, transferring them rashly would be more suspicious than arranging them there.
"Okay, we got it." Huang Jinghe immediately responded, "I will definitely protect the children well."
"Don't be so excited all of a sudden. It makes us look like we're not very proactive, you know?" Lao Gao criticized speechlessly.
Ling Jiang quickly agreed, "Exactly. Doesn't that make us look like we're not serious? Actually, we are."
Lan Jin asked, "When are we going? Are we going as security guards?"
"No." Captain Zhang hesitated even more, "No."
