Doomsday female supporting role

Chapter 284: The Sole Survivor

In xx82, a meteorite carrying a brilliant color landed outside a manor in County Arkham, Country B. The dazzling and gorgeous light shone the night sky of the village where the manor is located like daytime.

The village is located in a valley with beautiful mountains and rivers. No one knows that this stone from outside will completely break the peaceful and comfortable life in the village.

At first, all the creatures in the village began to become weird. The Gardner family, including the animals in the manor, died in mysterious and terrifying ways.

And the Gardner's youngest daughter, Melin, mysteriously disappeared.

One night shortly afterwards, the sky shone brightened the sky above the village again as bright as day. Soon after, when people came to the village again, they found that it had become a wasteland, and all the villagers and houses disappeared without a trace, only a naked girl, curled up like a baby, lying in the ruins.

Later, a scientific research team came to the village that turned into wasteland. After investigation, they found that the village was destroyed by a big explosion. The power of the explosion was equivalent to 15,000 tons of TNT equivalent (compared with the lethality of Hiroshima atomic bomb). The explosion center was near the crater, with an area of ​​about 13 square kilometers. Fortunately, because the village is located in the valley and is sparsely populated near the valley, the explosion did not affect the areas and residents outside the valley.

During the investigation, they also discovered many strange places. For example, on the night of the explosion, residents closer to the valley only saw dazzling light, but did not hear any explosion sounds. Logically speaking, such a large amount of explosion, the sound produced by the explosion can be heard by people within dozens of kilometers.

Not only that, since the explosion, the valley seemed to have been drained from its vitality and did not grow any grass. Moreover, since then, all electronic equipment brought into the valley will be disturbed by unknown magnetic fields.

Listening to Zhang Yuan’s narrative, Xia Qing had already believed it in her heart. Because she had read the basic information of several members of the N-virus research core expert group, Dr. Meilin is from Arkham County, Country B.

Meteorites, mutated animals and plants, electronic equipment failure...

An inexplicable sense of familiarity suddenly lingered in Xia Qing's heart. FG City, a human forbidden zone, anti-cover... The scenes of her mission flashed one by one in her mind.

"The only survivor is Melin Gardner?" Wei Sheng asked, and then looked at the girl in the photo and put the photo back to the shorter one.

Zhang Yuan nodded: "In fact, before the end of the world, there were some information on the mysterious explosion in Arkham County on the Internet, but most of them were not untrue. Although the scientific research team determined that the village was destroyed by a big explosion, there was no conclusion on how the explosion occurred. If it were an explosion caused by a meteorite, why was the explosion nearly a month away from the fall of the meteorite? As the only survivor, why Melin Gardner appeared again after disappearing but lost his memory."

"Oh? Since the only survivor has lost his memory, where did the information before the explosion come from?" This time it was Yue Pingchuan who spoke.

Zhang Yuan said: "The day after the meteorite fell, the local government sent investigators and geological experts to check the situation. In just one night, the meteorite disappeared mysteriously, leaving only one crater. The data retained the photos of the crater at that time, and the houses in the photo were very similar to those here. It was just that there was fog and the light was a little dark, so at first I just felt a little familiar but could not be sure."

She continued: "Mrs. Gardner's illness first occurred. According to the doctor who visited the hospital at that time, Mrs. Gardner's mental condition was very abnormal, with redness, swollen and ulcerated skin on many parts of her body, and her condition was very serious. Mr. Gardner and their youngest son also had similar symptoms, including itching, erythema, and ulceration. The doctor who visited the hospital once suspected that this was an infectious disease. However, the results of the blood test showed that everything was normal."

Zhang Yuan subconsciously scratched her right hand while speaking, leaving a few light red marks on the back of her hand.

"When the doctor went to the Gardner's manor again, he found that the animals in the manor were dead. What's strange is that the animals' corpses were like mummies dried by nature, and their death was terrifying. The male and female owner and their son were also dead."

As she said that, she rubbed her itchy fingers again: "The owner's body was found on the sofa in the living room. It was turned on in front of his TV, with snowflakes on the screen, and there were strange sizzling sounds on the TV."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at the somewhat old-fashioned TV in the living room. The TV had a black screen and should have been turned off, and Zhang Yuan's voice was still in his ears.

"The male owner's body was sitting, and the skin tissue was basically peeled off. The ground around the sofa was scattered with torn clothes and skin tissue. I don't know if it was blood or corpse water that soaked the entire sofa."

"No other fatal injuries were found on the body, and the skinning behavior was suspected to be the spontaneous behavior of the deceased." Speaking of this, Zhang Yuan's voice gradually lowered.

Because she found that the single sofa she was sitting on was facing the TV in the living room, her face changed slightly, and then she calmed down.

As a forensic doctor, Xia Qing knew very well that the behavior of peeling herself was difficult to achieve in reality. The pain alone was enough to make most people unable to bear it. What's more, the epidermal tissue of a human is not a fruit skin, and it is difficult to peel it with bare hands. Some means and tools are needed.

She looked at Zhang Yuan who was still telling and Xue Zhou who was sitting on the sofa with a rosy complexion. Her eyes swept through the wounds that Xue Zhou had bandaged, and then fell on Zhang Yuan's red right hand. The haze in her heart could not be removed.

As far as she knows, the forensic system in Western countries is very different from that in State C. It is not affiliated with the judicial system, but is usually the forensic department of the university, or the on-the-job doctor is part-time. Listen to Zhang Yuan's story, this doctor who came to the clinic should have certain knowledge of forensic identification.

"The mistress's corpse was found in the attic, with a prone-shaped skeleton, and the soft tissue of the body seemed to melt and penetrated into the wooden floor beneath her. The doctor could only identify her identity through clothes, bones, dry hair and nails."

Zhang Yuan said while recalling.

"As for the corpses of the little boy and his pet, they were found in the bedroom. Perhaps because of high corruption and other reasons, the little boy mixed with the corpses of the pet, and no fatal injuries were found."

"The doctor also found that the corpses in the manor had different degrees of decay, and it seemed that they did not die at the same time. The doctor died of pituitary glioma shortly after the explosion."

Itching, ulceration, peeling skin, weird and terrifying French death...

This has many similarities with Wen Xin's symptoms before her death.

Wei Sheng and Yue Pingchuan's faces were a little solemn. Both of them had seen the tragic situation of Warm and had a close relationship with Warm and Xin. Even though the relationship between them and Warm and Xin was exhausted by repeated use and disappointment, the two still couldn't bear to see her die tragically.

Yue Pingchuan's character is broad and he will not vent his anger on others, so he participated in this operation not only to eradicate hidden dangers for the Beishan base, but also to be warm. Wei Sheng's character is feminine and suspicious. In addition to distrust, his hostility towards Xia Qing also has anger on his part.

On the other hand, listening to Zhang Yuan’s story, Xia Qing’s picture of John handing water flashed in her mind. There were indeed red spots and ulcerated wounds on his arms.

She looked in the direction of the attic. Mrs. Gardner should have fallen ill. Does that mean that the tragedy of the Gardners is about to happen?

The doctor's diagnosis is not an infectious disease, so is the cause related to meteorites? For example, the space radiation carried by meteorites, the symptoms of Gardner and his wife are indeed quite similar to those after being exposed to nuclear radiation.

The relevant personnel who came to investigate did not find radiation, and blood tests also showed normal. Does that mean that this special radiation cannot be detected by instruments, and can even deceive the human immune system, allowing abnormalities in the body to be "rationalized" until it accumulates to a certain amount and suddenly explodes, causing a devastating blow to the body, perhaps not just the body.

Too many coincidences, I'm afraid it's not just coincidences.

She even vaguely felt that the mysterious explosion in County Arkham seemed to have some unexplained relationship with the end of the world.

After listening to Zhang Yuan’s narrative, the living room became silent, which made the sounds around it clear.

At this time, Xia Qing suddenly broke the silence: "We don't have much time."

The warm yellow lights coat the girl's delicate and flawless face with a layer of soft light. The beauty is always pleasing to the eye, but everyone present seems to have no intention of appreciating it.

"I don't think we can really be in County Arkham in xx82. This place should be like our previous experience, a special space built with the help of some power, which is different from reality. Just like the scoops in the game, there are single-player scoops and multi-player scoops."

As a forensic doctor, most of the evil side of human nature needed to be faced. It is inevitable that you will feel depressed when you are in this environment for a long time. The principle of murder cases must be solved is that when facing unsolved murder cases, every criminal investigator will be under tremendous pressure.

These pressures need to be relieved. For example, most of the old detectives have smoke guns and good alcohol tolerance. However, compared to these catharsis methods that will affect their thinking and judgment, she prefers sports, reading books and mobile games.

It is undeniable that the existence of mobile games does provide an effective way to relieve stress for modern people. However, she has always liked to be alone, so she will play mobile online games as stand-alone games.

"If my previous experience was a single-player dungeon, and the purpose was to defeat them one by one, then we are now a multi-player dungeon, and the purpose was probably to catch them all in one go. The game has game planning, and there must be builders here. I know so much about the mysterious explosion in County Arkham, and one of the builders here is likely to be Melin Gardner, the only survivor of the mysterious explosion. Her so-called amnesia may not be true."

Melin Gardner is likely to be Dr. Melin, which explains why the person behind the scenes is doing all this deliberately, and she must have a helper.

"Maybe it is because of some unknown reasons and purposes that trap us here. And being injured or dead here is likely to have an irreversible impact on us in reality."

The noise in the attic was still intermittent, and the atmosphere in the living room was a little stagnant. Everyone's eyes fell on Xia Qing in the living room. The girl had a calmness that was inconsistent with her age. Before she knew it, her calmness sootheed everyone's emotions.

At this time, Wei Sheng said: "One of the builders is Meilin? Do you mean she has a helper?"

Xia Qing nodded: "I have fought with Dr. Meilin. She should be a psychic, but her strength should not be enough to trap us all here."

If Dr. Melin could pull them into the "copy" without any awareness by herself, she would not have been cut by her throat, and it would be even more difficult for her to escape from the underground experimental base.

"Everyone should remember that there was a conflict after the two teams met. At that time, we both thought things were quite strange. What I did not mention at that time was that Wang Ruting and I both found that there were black shadows following us. In the "personal copy", I encountered black shadows. Although the shapes of black shadows were different, I think this was not a coincidence."

She didn't say it at that time because even though she said it, they might not believe it, but now it's different.

"In addition to the black shadow, there are black snakes. Everyone here has encountered black snakes."

Speaking of this, Xia Qing's eyes fell on Huang Xiaoying, who had been silent: "When she met Huang Xiaoying, she was almost attacked by a black snake."

Before this, everyone had simply communicated, and they had all encountered black snakes. Not only were they black snakes, but they also encountered black shadows in the "personal copy".

There must be some connection between the black shadow and the black snake.

Xia Qing's expression became solemn: "I said we don't have much time left. It's not the time when the explosion happened, but the fact that we can't find our teammates before it gets completely dark. They are likely to be in danger."

What she didn't say was that once they were lost in the dark, they might never find their way home.
