Crisis Management Game

Gu Jiqiang suppressed the shock in his heart.

Thanks to the gas mask on his face and the smog, Hott did not notice his unusual expression just now.

"A bunch of rubbish, they can't even keep an eye on one person! Take him away now!"

"yes!"

Gu Ji watched Paul being forcibly dragged away by the soldiers, but this guy did not have any communication with him from beginning to end.

This shows that Paul’s thinking was completely confused.

Because he has not changed his clothes since the beginning of the level, Paul should be very familiar with this outfit.

Gu Ji remembered it clearly.

After Paul informed Baken that there was a big business deal from a certain research institute, the two of them went to discuss it together with documents and eventually disappeared.

I didn't expect him to suddenly appear in this joint British and American military base, and he looked so crazy.

What exactly happened here?

Two possibilities:

First, Paul encountered some kind of accident while negotiating business with the research institute, and became confused. He was later found and brought back by the soldiers at the base;

Second, the research institute he mentioned that could provide big orders was the Bentwall Air Force Base!

In other words, the military was the only reason why Paul became what he is today.

This is also what Gu Ji is most worried about.

Although he couldn't see the expressions of Hott and the experts because of the gas masks, he could still judge the military's attitude towards civilians like Paul from the tone of their voices.

Gu Ji even doubted it.

The so-called big sales order mentioned by Paul was actually a bait thrown by the base research institute to lure them into the trap.

As for the purpose of the military doing this.

It is the mysterious spherical technology in the hands of Volut Corporation!

Gu Ji still remembered that Bakken had told him that since Volut was not well-known in the UK, the only way to expand the market for the company's products was to adopt a marketing strategy of free delivery and trial.

It is likely that the Bentvol Base Research Institute also received Volut's promotional equipment in this way.

And if Bakken really used the mysterious sphere's black technology to create these professional medical devices.

Then these top military experts will definitely discover clues during the trial process.

Given the importance of the mysterious sphere to various countries, it is not surprising that the military resorted to such extraordinary measures.

only.

There is a key point here:

Where is Buchan?

Gu Ji knew that the two of them came together to discuss business. Even if there was an emergency, with the generous character shown by Bakken, he would not easily abandon Paul.

What's more, the military secret area is heavily guarded inside and outside. Even for him, it is impossible for him to escape empty-handed under the noses of so many fully armed soldiers.

Unless Bakken has some kind of perverted black technology equipment.

But he thought this possibility was not high.

Because before the establishment of CISD: 6501 and secret research institutes in various countries, the mysterious sphere was just a mysterious object.

The system items that Gu Ji currently possesses, as well as the high-tech equipment scattered around the world, should all have been developed through technological extraction by research institutes in various countries.

At least in 1952.

Humans are just in the initial stages of exploring the mysterious sphere, and most likely do not have the "invisibility cloak", "foam grenade", "poison gas bomb" and other signature skills of the THEO organization.

He carefully looked at the experimenters who were brought out of the institute.

Not only was there no one willing to approach Paul, but there was no one exactly the same height and build as Bakken.

This means that Bakken is not here at all.

Considering that Holt was furious just now, he sent his men to chase...

Gu Ji pondered in his heart.

If the leak was caused intentionally by Bakken, then it is still possible that he could escape while the base was in chaos.

Although these conclusions and conjectures are mutually consistent.

But Gu Ji always felt that there was too much information and secrets that he had not mastered or understood.

For example, why did Paul suddenly go crazy?

What exactly does Buchan hold in his hands?

And whether he had any help from anyone in causing the anthrax leak.

Problems like replacing the ventilation duct filter device are definitely not something a captured experimenter can handle. Even if Bakken was given the opportunity, he might not be able to find the right location to destroy it.

at last.

If the THEO organization was really established by Bakken in the future, then what exactly did he go through in the meantime, and is it related to this base incident?

Although Gu Ji's contact with Bakken was not long.

But on the surface, in addition to the typical German rigor, this guy also likes to make friends and is very generous to his brothers.

It is hard to imagine that this guy will create a world-class extremist organization like THEO in the future, which will massacre civilians at will to achieve its goals!

So many farces have happened in succession.

This was enough to make Hott completely furious, and he ordered strict management of all personnel in the base.

This naturally includes the two outsiders, Gu Ji and Sahana.

Then he began to lose his freedom, and all his activities had to be arranged by the base.

Gu Ji really wanted to reveal his trump card.

By launching heavy attack aircraft and summoning T1 special forces, if he can capture the Bentwall Air Force Base, then he will have the opportunity to enter the military confidential area and see with his own eyes what secrets are hidden in this research institute.

Just think twice.

He felt that doing so was still a bit risky.

Not to mention the strength of this Anglo-American joint base, even if he was lucky enough to take it down, if the institute had set up some self-destruction mechanism, he would not be able to get any useful information.

and.

Gu Ji now not only needs the intelligence from the military research institute and Bakken, but the "unidentified flying vehicle" that Penny encountered is also a problem he urgently needs to solve.

Because this not only concerns the key to cracking this level, it may even be related to the information of the mysterious sphere.

so.

For the sake of the overall situation, he had no choice but to give up this bold idea.

Every time this happened, Gu Ji would feel a little regretful and wonder why he didn't choose reward two.

If this special force at Bentwall base could be mobilized at will.

He could then give orders in secret and easily have Hott take him directly into the research institute to observe.

…

[Goal: Ensure the safety of citizens in the southern area of ​​London (do everything possible to prevent any disaster from happening in the next 24 hours) failed, the current number of civilians infected: 64! ]

So fast?

evening.

Gu Ji was staying with Sahana in a cleaned up soldier barracks house, eating canned military rations, when he suddenly received a system prompt.

Logically speaking.

The wind speed in London was so slow today, and he reminded Hot to send people to deal with the contaminated area, but he didn't expect that so many civilians would still be infected.

"Damn it, could it be that this guy was just acting in front of me?"

Gu Ji cursed inwardly.

But now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying more.

It is worth mentioning.

The so-called "Vollum 14578" that was leaked is indeed a biological weapon developed by countless British military experts.

Only six or seven hours have passed since the incident, and 64 people have been infected.

The ability of this germ to spread infection is simply terrifying.

If the situation continues to develop as it is, perhaps in a few days, it will spread to at least hundreds of people!

[Random punishment in progress...]

[Your skeletal muscle activity value has been weakened by 50%! ]

In an instant.

Before Gu Ji could react, the system's punishment came without warning.

He only felt as if his body was injected with molten lead, becoming extremely heavy, and every muscle was cramping. Then the strength began to be rapidly drained away, like a surging tide receding in an instant, leaving only a desolate area.

Gu Ji's legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground. He subconsciously reached out to hold onto the wall next to him and managed to keep his balance.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Hunk, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me."

Sahana stared with horror, thinking he was sick with anthrax.

"Phew! I'm fine, I just feel a little suffocated, maybe I inhaled too much smog..."

Gu Ji made up an excuse to get away with it.

He sat down slowly and pinched his wrist tentatively, and found that the strength of this body had indeed decreased by more than half.

But he was lucky.

At least up to now, physical strength is of no use at this level.

[Your reward calculation will be weakened;]

[Ultimate goal: Completely resolve the London smog crisis and keep the death toll below 1,400 by the end! ]

[Side quest goal: Uncover Penny's secret! ]

Looking at the ultimate goal that was refreshed in front of him, it was within Gu Ji's expectations.

Although the death toll from the London smog incident in 1952 was 4,000, most of them died of respiratory diseases within a month after the incident.

In fact, the number of citizens who died before the end of the incident on December 9 was not particularly large.

However, the next side quest made him curious.

As a rule, side quests are often related to hidden quests in levels.

"It seems my intuition was right!"

Gu Ji narrowed his eyes.

The calibration of the side quest was equivalent to the system hinting to him that the UFO that Penny saw in the early morning was definitely not a simple light physics phenomenon, but a real problem!

"Uncover his secret, cough cough cough..."

As he was muttering and thinking.

Suddenly, he felt his throat itchy and couldn't help coughing a few times.

When I looked down, I found that there were a few strands of bright red blood in the sputum I coughed up!

This is not a good phenomenon!

Although Gu Ji had already felt discomfort in his throat when the smog incident started yesterday, he had been wearing a gas mask to protect his body since he was young.

Logically, it is impossible for the respiratory system to have problems so quickly.

Could it be a problem of anthrax infection?

But now even if Gu Ji knew the result, he couldn't change it.

Because he was not the only one in the entire military base who had symptoms of coughing.

So after finishing the canned food, Gu Ji decided to seize the last bit of time to collect as much useful information as possible for the second round.

But in order to catch the person who escaped from the base in the chaos as soon as possible, Hott put almost all his energy into finding that person.

The investigation into UFOs seems to have come to a standstill.

However, Gu Ji did not have enough authority and was unable to do anything with Penny.

In addition, his health was getting worse and worse.

My throat feels like there are countless little bugs crawling in it, and I always want to cough.

By midnight, the coughing became more and more intense, with waves of severe pain in the chest. Every time I coughed, it felt like I was coughing out all my internal organs.

And Sahana is not much better.

The two of them fought like this all night long.

It was just dawn.

The pale light shines through the haze and falls on my face.

Gu Ji opened his eyes and climbed up from the bed with difficulty.

His breathing was now becoming extremely difficult.

Every breath I took was accompanied by a dull sound coming from deep in my chest. My throat felt like a ball of cotton was stuffed in it, making it dry and itchy. Every cough was accompanied by large mouthfuls of blood.

"Ah! My face..."

Gu Ji heard Sahana's scream and looked in the direction of the sound.

It was discovered that her skin had become abnormal, with her normal skin color gradually being replaced by dark red spots.

From the face and neck all the way down, some of the spots have necrosis in the center, forming black eschars, which is really shocking.

However, Gu Ji's condition was not much better.

His skin also became extremely fragile. The areas where carbuncles appeared would ooze out a yellowish liquid with a slight touch, emitting a disgusting stench.

It's only been one day!

No wonder the anthrax from the "vegetarian plan" killed all the mammals on Gruina Island in just three days. The virulence of this bacillus is too strong.

"I, I don't want to die, Henk, please think of a way..."

Sahana collapsed on the bed with her limbs limp. She was so weak that she didn't even have the strength to raise her hands. She could only wag her tail and look at Gu Ji begging for mercy. Her lips trembled slightly and she made a weak, indistinct sound.

"Soldiers! Soldiers!!"

Gu Ji had no other choice. It was difficult for him to even get out of bed, so he could only notify the soldiers to find a military doctor.

But after calling several times, no one responded from outside the door.

There is only one possibility:

Large-scale anthrax infection has begun to appear at the base, and there is a serious shortage of manpower!

no way.

He could only force himself to endure the dizzy head and the pain of tearing muscles all over his body, put on the gas mask and drag himself to the door step by step.

The long corridor was empty and eerily quiet.

Gu Ji held onto the wall and walked all the way to the first floor, where he happened to see two soldiers carrying a corpse covered with a white cloth out of the room.

"This is……"

"It was the policeman named Belt. He was infected with anthrax and couldn't survive it. He died."

"Dead?"

Gu Ji didn't expect it to be so sudden.

However, the doctor has already announced that he was the one most seriously infected by radiation among the four policemen who had come into contact with the unidentified aircraft. Now that he has been infected with anthrax, he is naturally more likely to die.

"How's everyone else doing, where's Sheriff Penny?"

"Sheriff Penny is in good physical condition, but he is a little mentally unstable. He suddenly started talking nonsense this morning and said that a lot of numbers appeared in his dream..."

"Numbers?" (End of this chapter)
