Crisis Management Game

If that is true.

Then this might be the closest Gu Ji has ever been to the truth about the mysterious sphere.

Even this level was deliberately designed by the game system in order to arrange for him to investigate certain information.

Because he just recalled it carefully.

Whether it is collecting those scattered high-tech items in the levels, or solving these crises, they are almost all guiding him to dig deeper into the "THEO" organization and the mysterious sphere.

Because there are still some doubts here.

Whether it was the Us earthquake mission that Gu Ji had just experienced, or the two previous incidents in Nepal and Iran, he had witnessed with his own eyes how terrifying the radiation energy attached to the mysterious spherical fragments was.

It is absolutely impossible that it is just a dozen times stronger than what Hott said.

People like Sheriff Penny and his officers had all had close encounters with UFOs, and it was impossible for them to be alive under that kind of high-intensity radiation.

Perhaps it was because he saw Gu Ji was deep in thought and silent.

Holt then explained two more sentences:

“Yes, and the bark of the tree trunks around the incident site has carbonized to varying degrees;

However, there was no leakage of radioactive material or radioactive material in this forest, but high-intensity radiation suddenly appeared, which meant something must have happened at the scene;

I have arranged for my men to conduct medical examinations on the four witnesses. I will inform you if there are any results later!"

"Yes, Commander Hott."

Gu nodded.

In the following time, the two of them silently followed this special forces and walked back and forth in the forest.

But after searching for half a day, I didn't find any useful information.

Because the area of ​​the Rendel Forest is not large, less than 15 square kilometers, a few hundred soldiers can easily complete a carpet search.

Holt seemed unwilling to continue wasting time here.

After confirming that all the photos, recordings and data were correct, they ordered the troops to retreat. As for Penny's four policemen, they were taken back to the military area.

Gu Ji has made up his mind to follow up on this matter.

Naturally, he had to leave Ellington Town with Holt, and the London City Hall was very supportive and actually gave him the authority to enter and exit the military area.

But this was within his expectations.

Because according to the records of the London smog incident in 1952, starting from December 6, which is today, Londoners began to suffer from a concentrated outbreak of respiratory diseases after inhaling large amounts of sulfur dioxide and coal dust throughout the day yesterday.

The most obvious point is that hospitals began to flood with patients with respiratory diseases, including suffocation, severe coughing, vomiting, and even acute cardiopulmonary failure.

Not only humans but animals will also be severely affected.

A large number of biological poisonings occurred in the zoo. At the London Cattle Show, 52 cows collapsed collectively, 14 of which were on the verge of death and one died on the spot.

I believe that the Mayor of London and Deputy Minister White have also witnessed the power of this smog with their own eyes.

That's why we attach so much importance to him.

It's past noon.

Gu Ji and Sahana said goodbye to the mayor and drove the "stolen" black vintage car as usual, blending into the military convoy and moving slowly forward in the thick smog.

Along the way, the roar of car engines echoed dully in the mist, and the wheels splashed the accumulated water on the ground from time to time, making a splashing sound.

These British soldiers use dual signals of car lights and horns to communicate with each other, and there will be a special motorcycle team in front to guide the convoy.

This is the only way to keep the convoy at a certain speed.

Otherwise, with such thick smog, it would be almost impossible to move forward unless you are very familiar with the road conditions or have a satellite positioning navigation like Gu Ji.

After a long journey, it was around one o'clock in the afternoon.

Gu Ji finally arrived at an air force base in south London, which was indeed the Bentwall Air Force Base mentioned in the system options.

Looking through the thick fog, the base is surrounded by a thick layer of barbed wire. The gate is made of thick steel and has a striking military logo printed on it.

When you enter the base, the first thing that catches your eye is the wide and flat runway.

The runway was filled with gray-yellow fog. Several British Meteor and American F-86 Sabre fighter jets were quietly parked on one side of the runway. Many air force ground crews were busy shuttling among them, performing maintenance and inspection on the aircraft.

In the center of the base stands a tall, large, gray-white command tower, surrounded by some low barracks and warehouses, all covered with green camouflage nets, blending in with the surrounding environment.

Gu Ji followed Hott to the vicinity.

After getting off the car, he noticed that among these low houses with camouflage nets, some of the houses separated by barbed wire looked particularly special. Not only were the windows made of dark-coated privacy glass, the roofs were covered with thick metal pipes, and there were soldiers guarding the doors.

The only thing missing is writing the three words "there is a secret" directly on your head.

Seems to have noticed this.

Huo Te immediately extended his hand to guide him, saying, "Those places are classified as military secret areas. You are not allowed to approach them without special permission!"

"I see!"

Gu Ji agreed verbally, but he had already made his own plan in his mind.

It's obvious.

This joint British and American military base must be hiding many secrets, which may be related to the mysterious sphere.

If the mayor of London hadn't forced him in, Hott would have brought Penny and others into the confidential area long ago.

Gu Ji followed Hott into the house.

The decoration inside was obviously that of an ordinary barracks, but it was temporarily converted into an interrogation room. This further strengthened his thoughts:

These people just wanted to fool him.

Hott ordered his men to lock Penny and the other three in different interrogation rooms, while he took off his gas mask.

Although there were red marks all over from the mask.

But you can still see that his facial features are well-defined, his deep blue eyes are sharp in their calmness, his lips are slightly pursed, and his chin is covered with stubble, which adds a bit of vicissitudes to his appearance.

When Gu Ji took off his mask, his eyelids twitched noticeably.

It seemed that no one expected him to be so young.

In this house, Holt did not restrict the freedom of the two.

So in the following time, Gu Ji planned to stay in this military base to find out the truth about the UFO incident last night.

At the same time, he did not forget to use the ORS satellite to browse the surrounding districts and towns.

After all, more than half of the 24 hours set for him by the system task had passed, but at least for now, he had not heard of any major crisis in south London.

And during this period.

The results of the investigation reports on the Penny Four have also been released one after another.

As expected, the experts detected varying degrees of residual radiation in their bodies, but what surprised Gu Ji was that the person with the most serious condition was Belt.

That’s right, it was the policeman that the four of them feared the most, who leaked the secret to his wife in the morning and made it known to the whole town.

Not only was he diagnosed with severe heart damage, but he had also been experiencing dry mouth and sore throat since this morning.

At first he thought he had inhaled too much toxic smog.

But now, through professional medical examinations, it has been discovered that this is a symptom that only occurs when exposed to a high-radiation environment for a long time, and has nothing to do with haze.

besides.

The confessions of the four people during the interrogation were not much different from the version Gu Ji heard in the morning, and it seemed that the incident had no clue of progress at this point.

It was about to get dark.

Sahana suggested leaving the military base first and coming back when there was news.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

It seemed that in her heart, she was still unwilling to deal too much with the military.

Gu Ji thought about it and decided that this was the only option.

Not to mention that there were no clues on the surface, as long as Holt was present, he would not be able to access any truly confidential information.

Just as the two were packing up and preparing to leave.

Sudden.

A sharp and piercing alarm suddenly exploded throughout the entire military base, instantly making everyone's nerves tense.

Immediately afterwards, all the red warning lights in the base began to flash wildly. The glaring red light looked particularly strange in the thick London smog, as if the entire world had been dyed into a sea of ​​blood.

"Everyone, please be advised. A biological weapon leak has occurred in the base laboratory. Gather in the designated area immediately and follow the emergency plan! I repeat, assemble in the designated area immediately..."

"Biological weapons leak? This... How is this possible!"

Sahana's face showed an expression of disbelief and horror, and she couldn't help but exclaim, with a trembling voice.

"Quick, put on the mask!"

Gu Ji immediately put the S10 gas mask back on his face.

At the same time, Hott and others in the interrogation room all put on gas masks and pulled Penny and others out to prepare for transfer.

"Quick! Everybody get out of the house right now!"

The two followed them out the door.

Outside the venue, the base commander's urgent voice was still repeated on the loudspeaker, but even so, the scene was still in chaos.

Many British and American soldiers ran hurriedly in different directions, bumping into each other and shouting. The sounds of footsteps, shouting, and alarms mixed together, as if they were in an unprecedented panic.

Gu Ji paid special attention to the military secret area mentioned by Hott earlier.

As expected.

Many figures in white chemical protective suits ran out, and there were even many who looked like patients.

Everyone fled to the empty airport runway together.

At some point, several military green tank trucks had already been parked there, and people on them, holding nozzles, began spraying disinfectant on all the fleeing soldiers.

Sahana let the pungent disinfectant pour over her body, her whole body tensed with panic:

"Henk, what's going on here?"

"I don't know either, but it looks like there must be a biochemical laboratory in this base that leaked experimental samples."

While answering her questions, Gu Ji carefully paid attention to the positions of those white coats, trying to eavesdrop on some information from them.

He had long guessed that there was something wrong in the military secret area.

I just didn't expect it to be a biochemical laboratory.

But this is normal. There was also a US military biological laboratory at Osan Air Force Base in South Korea.

Especially now that we are in the immediate post-World War II period.

Everyone knows.

Since World War II, biological and chemical warfare has gradually replaced gas warfare;

Compared with the latter, the former is more lethal and more harmful. It is no exaggeration to say that it can destroy a country or an entire race.

"What exactly is leaking?"

"I don't know. You have to ask the people in the laboratory!"

"I just heard someone mention something like Vollum 14578..."

"This code name is... Anthrax!!"

"Oh my God!"

In the crowd, many soldiers were talking in panic and whispering.

Gu Ji naturally also heard the word "anthrax". He was horrified, but also had expected it.

Anthrax is the first pathogen discovered by humans. Its history can be traced back to 5,000 years ago. It is a very ancient pathogen.

The reason why it has survived to this day is that its spores have extremely tenacious vitality, and boiling water, ultraviolet rays, and even many chemical disinfectants cannot do anything to it.

There are about 10,000 anthrax spores in just 1 gram of anthrax powder. 50 kilograms of anthrax powder is enough to destroy a city with a population of 500,000.

No one will be spared, including humans, livestock and wild animals, and the harm is even more serious than that of a nuclear bomb.

So during World War II, some countries turned anthrax spores into biological weapons.

Among them are Japan, the United States and the Soviet Union.

In 1942, the United Kingdom selected anthrax as a biological weapon, the most famous of which was Churchill's "Vegetarian Action":

They decided to airdrop beef biscuits mixed with anthrax spores onto major ranches in Germany, leaving the Germans with no meat to eat.

To ensure the effectiveness, the military conducted anthrax experiments on the Scottish island of Gruyne in advance.

Unexpectedly, after a few days, all the creatures on the island died.

The military itself did not expect the power of anthrax weapons to be so terrifying, and Churchill urgently ordered an end to this evil plan.

But now it seems.

Britain has never given up its research on biological and chemical weapons.

The so-called "Vollum 14578" should be a laboratory-programmed highly toxic strain of anthrax bacteria.

That's weapons-grade anthrax!

Only then did Gu Ji finally understand the southern crisis mentioned in the system task.

indeed.

If anthrax leaks from a military base like this, civilians in all the surrounding towns and districts in the south may suffer.

The spores will mix into the haze air and float in the air, or they will seep into the soil and flow into the groundwater, or they may stick to their bodies right now!

If it really spreads on a large scale.

This will be a demonic crisis more terrifying than smog! (End of this chapter)
