The Ultimate Blue Seal

Chapter 80: The darkest times

The top floor of the Zero Team is a rarely used event venue. No one has been here for a long time. Once the door is opened, you can smell the dust inside. The arched ceiling hangs high, and the scarlet carpet is under the feet. , Walking silently, surrounded by huge French windows, some old pale golden curtains were blown by the wind that poured in from high above, hunting and hunting.

When Hu Bugui walked in, General Xiong turned his back to him, standing in an open window looking out, there was no guard.

"Close the door." General Xiong said.

Hu Bugui subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the monitor in the corner of the hall. General Xiong did not look back, but as if he had seen his movements, he whispered, "It's closed, don't worry."

"It's closed" Hu Bugui didn't feel relieved. He thought to himself that General Xiong couldn't say anything in the conference room or office. He had to come here?

General Xiong turned around and waved to him: "Come and see."

What to look at

Hu Bugui followed his gaze. The headquarters of the Zero Return Team was some distance away from the city and the terrain was very high. The place where they stood was almost the tallest building nearby. Looking into the distance, the city, roads, and interchanges were almost At a glance.

It was almost dusk, the sun sank below the horizon, and the city lights began to light up little by little.

All the colors of the starry sky and earth are dim, only artificial lights remain.

Hu Bugui glanced at General Xiong suspiciously: "General, what's the matter?"

"Sometimes, when you look at these, you will find that there is nothing in this world that can't happen." General Xiong said imperceptibly. "A person can lift a weight of several hundred kilograms at best and run dozens of kilometers. The road, which will not live for more than a hundred years, eats whole grains, and from a long distance, even an ant seems to be bigger than a person."

The old general lay on the railing, squinted, and pointed at the distant city: "But you see, they are all man-made. We live like this day after day. At first glance, we have lived the same way for hundreds of years. There are so many people in the world, with so many mysterious powers that you can’t even imagine, it always feels like nothing can go wrong.”

Hu Bugui didn't know why General Xiong suddenly looked up at the sky forty-five degrees, wondering if it is easy to hurt the spring and the autumn when he is old?

General Xiong was silent for a while, then lowered his head, as if he had just recovered, he glanced at him and asked, "How is it going?"

"Countries and regions have established contacts, and all available scientific research institutions have been transferred in urgently. There is no place to continue to report explosions, but there is still no clue about'sleep sickness'." Hu Bugui paused, "According to internal According to the data, the number of confirmed cases in the world has risen to more than 500. Our country now has more than 90 cases. The patients are basically concentrated in the vicinity of City Z, with the radiation range reaching 120 kilometers. Expanding outward."

After hearing this, General Xiong declined to comment, nodded, and for a moment, then asked: "What about public opinion?"

Hu Bugui said: "It hasn't gotten out of control. City Z is temporarily under martial law. It is said to be a highly pathogenic influenza. The death toll and the true confirmed number have not been leaked out."

"What about rumors about new terrorism and war?"

"Fortunately, the mainstream media and the Internet have successively invited experts to come out to dispel the rumors. At present, we have not heard of any accidents caused by runs or panic buying in China."

General Xiong stretched out his hand and grabbed it on the railing, the green veins on his old skin were slightly exposed. He said softly, "That's good, that's good."

Hu Bugui's eyebrows twitched: "You... do you have anything to tell me?"

General Xiong glanced at him and was silent for a long while before slowly saying: "Twenty-five years ago, I was a young man, and it hadn’t been long since I joined the army. At that time, two scholars took the lead and started a research project. It is the'Utopia Plan'. It is under the name of the military industry. The funds are allocated by the state. When the first base is established, the person responsible for the security of the base is me."

Hu Bugui listened without saying a word. No one had systematically told him about the dark history of utopia.

"I guess you know those two scholars. One is Professor Cheng who lives on the sixth floor now, and the other is Zheng, whose name is Zheng Qinghua. He is the top PhD in anthropology. And this project started from the beginning. It's about the infinite possibilities of energy and human evolution." General Xiong paused, "But it is ironic that Professor Cheng has a son like Cheng Ge, and Dr. Zheng himself has albinism."

"Did they make the blue seal later?" Hu Bugui said.

General Xiong nodded: "This plan lasted for ten years. The first successful blue seal in human history was born-Zheng Qinghua himself. The energy crystal system repaired his genetic defects, and the corresponding gray seal was His biological sister. At that time, Professor Cheng and Dr. Zheng had a disagreement over the unnatural product of'Blue Seal'."

"Zheng Qinghua took his own sister..." Hu Bugui said this, and suddenly stopped. He remembered that Xu Ruchong was still the adopted son of Zheng Qinghua in the legend, wasn't he also abandoned?

"Before they could resolve this disagreement, the Utopia project was stopped." General Xiong said, "Zheng Wan, it was the gray mark at the time. Because of a mental breakdown, she committed deliberate homicide and committed suicide in fear of crime."

"This research itself is too dangerous. An order was issued to destroy all research materials and block the base. But just the day before the materials were destroyed, Zheng Qinghua disappeared." General Xiong paused and added, "He is blue. Yin, except for himself, no one knew how different Lan Yin was from ordinary people at the time. Later you learned that Zheng Qinghua didn't know who helped him, and he still didn't give up his experiment while on the run. I received a secret Instructed to set up a zero-return team to clean up the blue seals. However, no one else knows who Zheng Qinghua is cooperating with, the other party can make such a big movement, and where the armed forces come from. The current Utopia organization has How old is Zheng Qinghua's disappearance for many years, where is his research..."

General Xiong shook his head: "There is only one thing I can understand. For more than ten years, this mysterious utopian organization has been hiding its head and showing its tail. Now it is showing itself to the world in a high-profile manner. This is a declaration of war, which means that they finally have it. Enough chips."

Hu Bugui frowned and looked at him.

"Don't talk about Blue Seals... They are many times stronger than ordinary people in physical fitness and agility. They are the technology that the other party has that we do not have, and it is a threat that cannot be ignored," General Xiong paused. Take a moment to face it: "Have you ever thought that one day when everyone bows their heads to this so-called'technological terrorism', what will this world be like?"

Hu Bugui blurted out and wanted to say, "There won't be that day", but his voice stuck in his throat, looking at General Xiong's rare sinking face, he couldn't say anything.

"You are a regular soldier, a national elite, and you have the authority to punish terrorists at any time." General Xiong smiled, "Little Hu, but if you and Lan Yin's position are reversed one day, what will you do? do?"

"What happened?"

General Xiong did not answer, but stared straight into his eyes: "You tell me, if that day, what will you do?"

"I believe that what is right is right, and what is wrong is wrong." Hu Bugui thought for a while before saying, "I am not the kind of person who is particularly savvy, knows everything, and has a good calculation in my heart. Forget it, if you know, you won’t do what you don’t want against your will."

General Xiong stared at him for a moment, then took out a bunch of keys and stuffed them into his hands.

Hu Bugui was taken aback: "This is..."

"Remember what you said today, one day, you will need this thing." General Xiong didn't plan to talk to him anymore, waved his hand, "Go and do your job."

Hu Bugui felt that he might indeed not be that kind of shrewd person. He had many questions in his heart, but he didn't know where to ask. General Xiong turned around and only gave him a back view. It seemed that he didn't want to reveal anything. After that, Hu Bugui hesitated for a moment, then said "Yes", took the door and left the hall on the eighth floor.

About an hour after he left, a guard came up with General Bear’s phone, and General Bear took it. He glanced at this apparently virgin "guard", took the call, and put it in his ear. Listen silently.

The sky was completely dark. Looking from a distance, the neon of the city looked like a galaxy falling on the ground. When you close your eyes, you can hear the hustle and bustle of people.

Those lights were blazingly reflected in General Xiong's eyes, which looked a little muddy because of their age, as if they were coated with a radiant film. He no longer smiled, the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes were deeply recessed, and his lips It was squeezed tightly, and the corner of his mouth was slightly pulled down, like a stone statue carved out of marble.

Finally, General Xiong spoke, and he said in a low voice: "I know... Yes, I will be ready for that day."

His eyes narrowed slightly, as if a smile passed by, he hung up the phone and handed it to the "guard" with the strange face.

"Let's go." After he finished speaking, he turned around calmly and strode forward without looking back, like a hero who has no hesitation, like a...martyr.

That night, General Xiong did not greet him abnormally, and he suddenly left the Zero Zero team headquarters. Hu Bugui grasped the mysterious set of keys and felt that something was wrong, but he could not tell what went wrong.

Three days later, Fang Xiu suddenly took a newspaper and broke into Hu Bugui's office without knocking the door: "Team Hu, look at this."

Hu Bugui glanced at the front page of the newspaper-"Start the God Creation Project."

He nodded. Obviously he had seen it before, and did not have much reaction. Fang Xiu lowered his voice: "Look here,'Thirteen countries jointly launch a utopian scientific research plan, and the world will enter a miracle year.' The government jointly issued a statement, acknowledging the legality of utopia? I saw that our country did not sign it, but judging from the attitude of the media, not signing is just an ambiguous attitude, not an opposition.

Hu Bugui pulled out a document from the drawer and pushed it in front of Fang Xiu: "I'm about to tell you that someone will come down from above to conduct a political review of the headquarters. The political review is held every year, but usually at the end of the year or the beginning of the year , I’ve never been here at this time of impropriety. You let me know by the way."

Fang Xiu held his breath and looked at him: "This is... This is... What about General Xiong? Why didn't General Xiong stand up and say something, what's going on above? How could it suddenly..."

"I tried to contact General Xiong, and all the numbers became empty overnight." Hu Bugui tapped a few times on the keyboard on his desk, and then turned the monitor around for him to see clearly.

What he searched was "Xiong Maolin", which is General Xiong's real name. The search engine was empty, and a line of small characters prompted "Is it a panda Linlin you're looking for?"

For an instant, Fang Xiu felt that he was pouring down a basin of cold water, and he was startled. After a long time, he lowered his head slightly, just to meet Hu Bugui's deep gaze, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Hu Bugui said softly: "Go ahead, don't worry, the sky won't fall, I will still be carrying it when it falls."

The darkest era has finally come.
