From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 110 "Atlas will be responsible for what happens next."

"Roar! Roar!"

There were bursts of low roars coming from the sealed isolation room.

A slender pioneer who was three and a half meters tall and had four arms, his body was twitching uncontrollably.

It was still wandering in this narrow isolation room, seemingly without a clear goal, and it began to follow some kind of "search" or "inspection" mechanism.

Swish-.

At this time, the gate on the far right side of the isolation room suddenly opened, and three other pioneers with dull and slow movements were put in.

? !
  Sensing the existence of "the same kind", the original pioneer was instantly activated. It burst out with all its strength and ran wildly, quickly bypassing the obstacles and completing the approach in the shortest distance.

"Roar!!!"

Then he jumped up and immediately knocked down one of the "kinds", opened the bloody mouth full of fangs and bit it, and then followed the same steps and continued to bite the remaining two "kinds".

Soon, the three new pioneers all fell to the ground and fainted.

"Hoohoo!!"

But not long after, they suddenly stood up, twitching uncontrollably like the original pioneer, and began to "search" and "inspect".

If you observe carefully, you can find that the whole process from being bitten, to falling unconscious, to completing the "assimilation" and getting up again, only took about eight seconds.

And this moment.

Placed in the observation room on the far left side of the isolation room;
  "How about it, boss! Not only did we make the virus have the characteristic of only infecting pioneers, but we also made some improvements." Alexia showed undisguised excitement, looking into the isolation room through the single-sided observation window, and continued to talk about Sui Yang beside him quickly explained:

"The infection time has been shortened by 20%, the infected person's vision and hearing have been further enhanced, and the ability to automatically search for infection targets has been achieved. Since it is specifically targeted at the Pioneer group of stinky things, I named this variant the Eradicate virus. Virus)."

More than a month ago, a large number of biological samples collected by the hunter company did contain pioneer gene fragments, or pioneer biotechnology. Almost every aspect was mixed with their own genetic fragments for better control and use. .

It was precisely this that provided Alexia's biological team with great convenience. They successfully extracted the complete genetic fragments of the pioneers and cultivated more than ten unconscious living pioneers through cloning technology.

"Not bad." Sui Yang, who was also standing on the observation window, commented.

"As for the large-scale diffusion route." Alexia retracted her gaze towards the isolation room, turned slightly sideways, looked up at Sui Yang and said:
  "Due to the transmission route of body fluids only, we are considering how to minimize the activity of the initial infection, prolong the incubation time as much as possible, and then activate the characteristics after the infection base reaches a certain level."

"This is a relatively stable weaponization plan." Sui Yang did not deny Alexia's point of view, and then expressed his own opinion, "However, the disadvantage of this plan is that the research and development cycle is long. After all, while reducing activity, , and also ensure that the virus can be activated smoothly according to the program.

Therefore, I suggest that your team take a more direct and "violent" approach, such as using biological weapons as a communication medium. Moreover, among the company's many flying biological weapons, there is also a native of the country who can easily break the speed of sound. "

"Actually, I have the same idea as the boss, but I think it's a bit wasteful." Alexia replied.

"It is convenient for the people of the motherland to recycle biological weapons, so we can continue to manufacture biological weapons, so I would rather spend more money to let the pioneers experience the most direct fear of genocide."

"I'm extremely happy!" Sui Yang's words directly dispelled Alexia's last worries, and his eyes seemed to light up immediately, and he couldn't wait to say: "Since there is a direct order from the boss, we will debug it immediately. It is not expected that it will be used. It can be ready in a month.”

"Thank you."

"You're welcome!" Alexia waved her hand and said with a smile: "We are full of passion for this project far beyond the past. We can't wait to put all our knowledge into the extermination virus. How can we find it hard? Hahaha!"

"."

Hearing this, Sui Yang, who understood Alexia's character, just nodded lightly and said nothing more.

4 month 14 day.

The city of steel.

On the 144th floor of the Oak Building, there is a reception room that is not very spacious and simply decorated;

Magnus, who was sitting by the window, was wearing a black windbreaker, resting his elbows on the table, folding his hands, and asked in a slightly serious tone: "Why did Ms. I don't know how to find our Titan Gang?"

Following Magnus' line of sight, he found that sitting opposite was a woman with short black hair and wearing a dark green thickened down jacket.

Upon hearing the inquiry, the woman organized her words and said with a serious expression: "Your gang has taken control of three buildings in two months and brought 100,000 residents of the buffer zone under its command, so I want to know what you have done." Purpose."

"You come to me and ask me what my purpose is?" Magnus first pointed at the other party, then at himself, and then deliberately laughed loudly: "Hahaha! Ms. Quan, this should be the first thing I have heard this year. The funniest thing ever!
  We welcome customers to visit us, but this does not mean that we allow customers to overwhelm us. So Ms. Quan, I will only ask you one last time why you are here. "

Through psychic perception, he can naturally determine that the other party is related to the PPDC (Pan Pacific Environmental Protection Corps) incident.

However, before the other party takes the initiative to reveal his purpose, Magnus needs to ensure that the other party's emotions are "real".

"Sorry, I was abrupt." The woman surnamed Quan immediately apologized and continued: "According to our recent observations, we found that your gang is very good at management and operation. Even though some gray industries have been banned, they still maintain with rapid development momentum”

"Please tell me the key points."

"Sorry." The woman apologized again, without any major emotional fluctuations, but finally brought the topic to her real purpose: "

We also learned that your gang enjoys a very high reputation in the three buildings. The residents call you "judge mercenaries". For only five yuan, you can be hired to intervene in cases that are difficult to solve. Once you find that a certain party is involved in the case, For clear mistakes, judgments and penalties are imposed on the spot.

In addition, you also accept employment from residents in other areas to help them solve the more crazy gang organizations. Coupled with your strong strength, we believe that your gang is an excellent target for cooperation. "

"What kind of cooperation? By the way, please organize your words as well as possible before you speak. I mean speak directly, don't make so many twists and turns." Magnus raised his hand and rubbed his temples. "Okay." The woman took out a plastic file bag, put it on the table, pushed it hard, and sent it to Magnus, then said in a calm tone: "We need to hire you to perform a task that is almost equivalent to death. At the same time, he will be branded a traitor by the entire city."

Magnus did not respond in a hurry, but opened the file bag and began to read the plastic document with a large number of black "█" squares and strips painted on it.

These documents briefly described the information of more than a dozen PPDC generals, as well as a structural diagram of the military prison located in the southern area of ​​the Steel City. They also used a highlighter to draw the cells where the generals were detained and where the patrolling soldiers were.

It was obvious that the woman was here to hire Magnus and the others to rob the prison.

"You hired us to die, Ms. Quan." Magnus returned the documents to the file bag and tried harder: "And you told a gang leader the secret of the prison robbery. You are really not afraid of being ganged up by our giant gang. Sold? Should I call you naive, or should I praise you for being mentally retarded?"

"We can only gamble!" The woman's mood fluctuated violently, and her speech speed increased a lot: "Those guys have already expected that we are planning a prison robbery, so in three days, all the generals who have been wronged will be broadcast on live TV. The death penalty is imposed! And the current PPDC cannot gather strength in a short period of time, so we have to rely on mercenaries who look passable on the surface. Either the bet is right! Or die!"

"."

Magnus sensed that the other party was releasing extremely strong emotions at this moment, which were a mixture of anger, unwillingness and sadness, mixed with a hint of hope, but there was no sign of fraud.

At this point, he was certain that the other party was not a spy, but a soldier who was in trouble and unwilling to give up hope.

Then he stood up, walked towards the other party and extended his right hand: "In view of the difficulty of this task, the commission needs to be raised. I wonder if Ms. Quan Ling and you can accept it."

?

!

"This is the most basic. I wonder if you have any other requirements? Or need to ask." The woman who reacted quickly stood up and stretched out her right hand to shake Magnus's hand.

"It's easy to say." Magnus let go of his hand and continued: "I need to know your detailed plan. At the same time, I also need to know the detailed intrigues between your senior leaders, and what actions you are doing that lead to you PPDC has ended up in this situation.”

Hearing this, the woman named Quan Ling pondered for a few seconds before nodding and saying, "No problem."

"Very good! Then please sign the employment contract first. After all, verbal promises are not binding."

".good."

The two left the reception room.

When they came to the floor hall outside, they saw two other PPDC officers wearing dark green uniforms quickly stepped forward and asked Quan Ling in a low voice what the outcome of the conversation was.

Surrounded by the Herring Gull's concealed transport, ARS, AECS and some related personnel were secretly deployed inside the Oak Building. One of them was the first to lead Hunter and Magnus into the Steel City, and kept Payne with neat short hair.

The second lieutenant glanced at the three PPDC people who were talking and asked Magnus: "How is it?"

"It's okay. If the situation is too complicated, we will seek help from others."

"it is good."

Due to the undecided situation, the conversation between the two stopped short.

After a while, Quan Ling and two PPDC officers seemed to have reached a conclusion after discussion.

The two people also chose to agree, so under the leadership of Second Lieutenant Payne, they signed the "Terms of Employment between the Titan Gang and PPDC".

After everything was ready, the group came to the conference room on the same floor.

Then, Quan Ling used the holographic player of Human Zero Six to show Magnus, Payne and several ARS and AECS officers disguised as gang leaders the floor plan of the southern prison and where the PPDC generals were imprisoned. prison area.

After everyone had a general impression, Quan Ling, who was sitting at the front of the conference table, began to talk about the stakes in order to avoid the gang members being ignorant of politics:

"This is the Southern Prison No. 12, which is exclusively run by conservatives. As for conservatives, that is the internal name of our PPDC, but you should have seen it on TV often. It is the group of people who constantly preach to residents that peace is hard-won, don't do it. Officials who easily start wars.

Their leader, Devin Duke, once served as the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and is also a major member representative of the Iron Federation today. He controls 12% of the city's total military strength. Our PPDC is a product of the old era, an independent organization jointly formed by all countries in the world. I think you all know something about the branches of the military. "

"Of course." As soon as Quan Ling finished speaking, a young ARS second lieutenant echoed: "If it weren't for the PPDC pilot controlling the mecha to defend the Antarctic defense line for a whole day, my relatives would have been swallowed into the belly of the giant beast. This kindness will never be forgotten.”

These words immediately made the two PPDC officers puff up their chests unconsciously, and they also had a certain degree of recognition of the second lieutenant.

"That's it." Quan Ling nodded, and then continued to elaborate:

"We at PPDC have never forgotten the threat of behemoths, so six years ago, we began to submit plans to the federation to restart the construction of mechas. However, those conservatives were unwilling to take risks, for fear that we would continue to use mechas to carry nuclear bombs. , trying to destroy the wormhole located on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, so it has been reluctant to pass the plan.

Until three months ago, the conservatives actually forged a recording of the PPDC's attempt to seize power, and carried out arrests without verification. Moreover, most of the PPDC's barracks were under strict guard and there was no chance for them to assemble. The available troops were less than three hundred.

This makes us start to wonder why we are trying so hard to block it. Is it for profit? Or greater power? Or a mutiny? "Quan Ling paused for a moment, and his tone became heavier:
  “We speculate that conservatives may have defected to the mastermind behind the creation of the beast, but due to the lack of substantive evidence support and the difficulty in determining who is the enemy and who is the friend among high-level officials and generals, we can only Relying on outside forces like your gang to assist.”

After listening to the explanation, Magnus asked rhetorically: "According to your statement, the conservatives have been almost completely infiltrated, right?"

"This is just speculation on our part."

"That's enough." Magnus said, turning to look at Payne and others and saying, "This situation is far beyond what we can handle. It's time to call for support."

Then, he looked back at Quan Ling, who was gradually falling into confusion, and the two PPDC officers and said solemnly: "Three of you, Atlas will be responsible for the rest of the matter, for your personal safety, and for the sake of the subsequent rescue and cleanup operations. , please three of you stay in the Oak Building and have a good rest for a while."

Quan Ling and three others:? ? ?
