Chapter 495 Manipulated mutation
With the development of the grassroots community scavenger plan in the grassroots community.

As the formulation and promoter of the plan, the Epidemic Prevention Office receives information from various sources through the Heaven Brain.

However, even though careful arrangements had been made before the operation, there were still unforeseen circumstances after the operation actually started.

Newcastle was sitting behind his desk, looking at the battle video on the light screen in front of him. The forehead lines on his forehead were wrinkled into Chuan lying horizontally. The content of the video he was watching was the battle video of the No. 38 community patrol late last night. , It was only sent to the epidemic prevention station early this morning.

The broken patrol airship, continuous wailing and terrified cries for help occupied most of the progress bar of the video, but what really attracted his attention was the terrifying monster hidden in the darkness not far away.

Moving up the screen, a series of data appears in the center one by one.

Action Number: 23120113
行动过程：38号社区第4主干道出现疑似疫病感染者，极具攻击性，社区所属巡逻队第C7小队于11：03分出动维持现场秩序。

Action result: At 0:05, the patrol headquarters confirmed that the C7 team was completely wiped out, and the murderer was missing.

This video and the data Newcastle watched back and forth several times, subconsciously raised his hand to unbutton the neckline, and pulled the tie left and right, hoping to relieve his inner irritability.

"damn it!"

The fist hit the table, and the coffee in the cup rippled several times.

Rao Newcastle's self-cultivation cultivated in a high position for so many years still can't resist the swear words on his lips. Who can tell him why these patients who should be dying suddenly start to mutate overnight?
After a few seconds of silence, he reached out and pressed the communicator on the left side connected to his secretary: "Yuko, is there any new information from the security department?"

Several similar attacks in succession forced the Epidemic Prevention Office to turn to the Ministry of Security to let them take over from the patrols to perform some of the more dangerous tasks.

It is also because of this that Newcastle urgently needs more information feedback from the Security Department, for fear that there will be any surprises in the situation of those infected people.

There was a knock on the door of the office, and a professional woman in an OL suit walked in quickly.

"Deputy Director of Newcastle, the new news from the police department of Community No. 35 shows that they have rated the target infected person as a D-level threat. There are some changes in the body, but the threat they can cause is limited. Fighting It ended very quickly."

As a secretary, what she has to do is to extract the key content from the complex information, pause for two seconds to organize the information in her mind, and then said,

"The same situation occurred 3 minutes ago in the operation of another combat team of the Ministry of Security. They believed that the information given by the epidemic prevention was wrong. The people infected with the epidemic did have a mutation, but it was not like what we described. So special."

"D-level? Threat rating is only D-level?"

Newcastle looked down at the video in his hand, very surprised.

He knew what a d-level threat rating meant. To give the simplest example, the threat rating of a deep diver mutant was d+, and this infected person didn't even reach the level of a deep diver mutant.

This is completely inconsistent with the fighting power shown by the monsters in the video!
"The patrol lied?"

Newcastle's first thought was that the patrol team deliberately exaggerated the enemy's threat to avoid punishment, but he quickly denied this idea.

"Impossible, they dare not deceive the government on such an important matter, the authenticity of this video is beyond doubt."

"Special individual mutation!"

An old voice suddenly sounded at the door of the office.

"Boss?"

Subconsciously getting up, Newcastle looked at the old man with a cane outside the door, and was a little surprised that he suddenly appeared here.

"I already know what happened last night and today, Newcastle, immediately apply for support from the Security Department!"

"Director, I applied this morning."

"Apply again, the current manpower is not enough at all, let them mobilize more manpower, haven't you discovered that this time the epidemic is not what we faced before, it is constantly mutating, 38 The patrol team that wiped out the No. [-] community is the best proof. Some of the infected individuals have mutated into monsters that are similar to spiritual pollution sources, and now other infected people have also shown mutation symptoms one after another. Act now to end this fight against the disease before more special mutant individuals appear!"

Although Ge Lang is holding the position of director of the epidemic prevention center, he is old and does not have so much energy and it is impossible to take charge of the epidemic prevention center. Therefore, the power of the epidemic prevention center was transferred to Newcastle a year ago. The reason for retaining the position is Because he made a lot of contributions during his tenure, the Qianfan City government specially gave him a commendation.

Another crucial point is that Newcastle is his favorite student, and it was actually Newcastle who proposed to the government to retain his position.

"I'll contact the security department and ask them to send more people."

Newcastle has always been convinced of the teacher's opinion, and he is ready to do what he says without saying a word.

Regardless of whether the situation is as serious as Director Ge Lang predicted, it is always right to increase manpower, isn't it?

The Epidemic Prevention Office was busy seeking support, and Zhu Jue, who had completed the task and returned to the hospital, got a certain amount of rest time because of the successful completion of the task.

Rudney said that he did not know when the next action would be, so the three of them were allowed to deal with some chores first.

For example, the question of where to live.

Because the operation will last for several days, these temporary employees have no residence in the low-level community, and they can't sleep on the road like homeless people at night, and there are not so many vacancies in the hospital wards.

Fortunately, the support of Life Medical Group was not just talk, and it directly booked three hotels near the hospital as temporary accommodation.

"Mr. Lecter lives in Room B122, Miss Suzi and Miss Godot live in"

At this time, the person who brought them to the hotel was looking through the check-in records, looking for a vacant room.

"I want to live with her!"

Zhu Jue was still thinking about discussing the content of the "Nakt Manuscript" with Suzi. If she were allowed to live with Lin, the progress of the translation would definitely be delayed.

This is what Zhu Jue, who is eager to figure out the contact technique of the ancients, doesn't want to see.

"Are these two a couple?"

Both the person in charge and Lin were taken aback, the former looked jealous, while the latter was pure surprise.

"Yeah, isn't that obvious enough?"

He stretched out his hand to embrace Suzi into his arms, and pressed her head on his shoulder specially.

Anyway, it's a robot, Zhu Jue doesn't think there will be any inconvenience, Suzi doesn't need to take a bath, as for changing clothes or taking off clothes to sleep
What's so cool about a doll?

Suzi didn't deny Zhu Jue's claim, but leaned on her shoulder with a dull expression, not knowing what to think.

Although he really wanted to reprimand this kind of love-making behavior in the process of action with righteous words, the person in charge still didn't do anything to beat the mandarin ducks. After all, he was just a doctor in a low-level community hospital. In his opinion, several of them are "high-class people" who need to establish a good relationship.

I successfully lived in the same room, I wish I had a space ring, I had nothing to tidy up, I was checking all over the room for bugs and cameras, and I took it out of my pocket.
A "sandbag".

"what is this?"

Suzi looked at the ball of sand flowing in Zhu Jue's hand, stopped and asked.

"The guy I got in the room just now."

Unlocking the seal of the scavenger, dragging the strange fish inside with gravel in the air, Suzi's eyes were immediately attracted by it.

"Was this fish recovered from the home of an infected person?"

Staring at the disgusting tentacles on the goldfish's abdomen, Suzi quickly realized some problems, with a serious expression on her face,
"This disease can actually affect ordinary creatures!"

We must know that although monsters that are the source of spiritual pollution can affect humans, fish or creatures with extremely low intelligence such as goldfish cannot feel indescribable horror at all, so naturally there is no such thing as spiritual pollution.

Zhu Jue has only seen a similar situation in Guangyuan City so far.

But that's because of the special nature of Xingzhicai. Not only animals, but also local plants have undergone special changes. At other times, Zhu Jue has never seen any abnormal changes in small animals.

There is obviously no star color in the lower-level communities right now, otherwise it is unknown how many of these millions of people will survive.

"Perhaps the fish inadvertently devoured the flesh of an infected person, and it is not difficult to understand that the latter would engage in some self-mutilation behavior under the premise of insanity."

Suzi thought about it and gave a more reasonable explanation.

"The heart of evolution is different from the monster that is the source of spiritual pollution. Its infection route and infection target may indeed change."

"No, things are not that simple. I can feel the breath of a monster that is similar to the source of mental pollution. In fact, I am more concerned about its changes than that a goldfish will be infected and mutated. Why is it related to infection? Or the people they live with haven't changed?"

After Zhu Jue discovered the fish, he went to confirm the other two dead at the scene. He used the equipment to confirm that their bodies had not undergone a mutation, which means that they were normal people before they were alive. down the goldfish flipping back and forth in the air, and said,
"Just now you also saw that the state of the infected person is obviously close to the shape described in the USB disk data we obtained. Don't you find it strange how this mutation happened? Why didn't it appear sooner? It didn’t appear, but it happened in batches on the second day after the epidemic prevention center decided to clean up the infected people. It can’t be said that these people were all infected with the disease at the same time, and today is the time when they got sick, right?”

"Someone is manipulating the mutation process of these infected people behind the scenes!"

With Suzi's analytical ability, she had an answer almost the second Zhu Jue asked a question!
