Extreme germ phobia

Chapter 28: Fortress of Doom?

The two sides reached an agreement. Ou Yang breathed a sigh of relief and shook his arm, which was fixed on the armrest. "Can this be untied?"

He planned to strike while the iron was hot, testing the other party's tolerance while striving for better treatment.

The doctor waved his hand and the bearded man untied himself.

Ou Yang let out a long sigh and stood up. He smiled and was about to speak when a huge force suddenly came from behind him, pushing him to stagger and almost fall.

Ou Yang turned around angrily, but only saw a bearded man with a calm expression.

The bearded man didn't say a word, pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Ou Yang.

Ou Yang's eyelids twitched, and he swallowed back the curse that was about to come out of his mouth. He very tactfully walked out according to the other party's instructions.

The doctor's happy laughter came from behind, like a cat that successfully tricked a mouse.

Ou Yang gritted his teeth: Damn bastard!
We were talking nicely just now, but in the blink of an eye, we turned hostile.

villain!

Walking out of the laboratory, a narrow corridor leads to the depths of the basement.

On one side of the corridor is a rough wall, and on the other side is a plastic film that hangs from the roof to the ground and is firmly fixed.

Behind the plastic film were separated laboratories. He saw a row of sealed beakers on the laboratory table. The gelatinous culture medium was filled with milky white mycelium, and mushrooms of different sizes and without any characteristics grew out of the culture medium.

There were also several glass jars the size of a human head, filled with lungs covered with brown spots soaked in an unknown liquid. Clusters of hyphae poked out of the lungs, swaying gently like water plants.

Ou Yang's scalp tingled. Could this be the true form of the mycelium?
A chill ran through his heart. Although he knew from the beginning that this was not a proper laboratory, wasn't this too outrageous?
What kind of doctor is that lame guy?

There is also this place, which is more like a small underground fortress than a basement, and seems to be a doomsday shelter.

He heard that there are many survivalists who are always prepared for danger in this land. He really wants to know if this place originally belonged to the doctor, or if he took over the place after the outbreak of the epidemic?
The bearded man urged from behind: "Hurry up!"

Ou Yang suddenly felt an urge to break through the plastic film and rush into the experimental area, pressing the bearded man's head directly into the culture medium and rubbing it hard, and rubbing it again!
But he could only think about it.

Continue forward, passing the living area and storage area, and finally arrive at the dungeon at the deepest part of the basement.

Ou Yang looked hopeless, but he was well prepared?

The dungeon was not large and was divided into three cells by iron bars. On the right side was a young man in his early twenties, still a bit immature; in the middle sat a woman with loose hair, whose age could not be determined; only the left side was empty.

The bearded man pushed Ou Yang into the dungeon and locked the door with a bang.

The young man peeked in curiously, and the girl with disheveled hair suddenly raised her head as if frightened.

The bearded man left without looking back. Ou Yang sighed and his eyes fell on the bottom of the railing.

The railings are not inserted directly into the ground. Instead, a series of irregular holes are first made in the ground with something, a piece of steel bar is fixed in the holes with cement, and then the railings are welded to the steel bar.

The solder joints are crude and the workmanship is amateurish.

Back home, I definitely wouldn't have any hope of getting a welder's license... Huh? Why am I thinking about this?
Ou Yang rubbed his forehead, thinking that his mind was always going astray. It must be the sequelae of being exposed to a large number of spores!

Shaking his head to put aside unnecessary thoughts, Ou Yang glanced at his two cellmates and greeted them in a friendly manner: "Hi..." The girl with disheveled hair suddenly shook her head, her movements as stiff as a rusty machine.

The young man was quite friendly. He smiled and then waved as a greeting.

Ou Yang was thinking about how to get some information from his cellmates, so he took the initiative to introduce himself: "Hello, my name is Ou Yang, from Dongda, they call me No. 13..."

Before he could finish his words, the girl with disheveled hair suddenly jumped up like a hunting leopard and slammed into the railing in front of Ou Yang with a bang, which scared Ou Yang so much that he instinctively took a step back.

What's wrong with this?
Just as Ou Yang was in doubt, he suddenly smelled a faint, fresh scent, and his mind suddenly became clear... Spores? Coming from the woman who was emitting them?
He couldn't help but be stunned. Could it be that this woman was a severely infected person in the budding stage?
It seems much more serious than isolating those infected people in Area A!
The young man seemed to have anticipated this result and immediately smiled happily. "Hello, I'm Jamie, they call me Number 7."

His voice was so low and soft that it was barely audible.

Ou Yang looked at Jamie, then at the girl with disheveled hair, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Jamie took the initiative to introduce: "This is Shirley. Her condition is quite serious. A few days ago, she was lucid and confused at times, but since yesterday, she has been completely confused."

"Shirley?" Ou Yang called out tentatively.

The girl with disheveled hair rushed over again and hit the railing again.

Ou Yang's heart sank: "What happened to her?"

Jamie pursed his lips and shrugged. "She's photophobic and phonophilic now. She pounced on you because she heard you talking too fast and too loudly. You just need to slow down and be gentle like me."

Ou Yang suddenly realized, no wonder Jamie's tone was so light... This kid is not a good guy either, he didn't even give him a warning, is he planning to laugh at him?
However, Ou Yang didn't want to pursue the matter further. He thought for a moment and covered his nose: "What's that smell on her?" His expression showed neither disgust nor liking, but a kind of indifference between the two.

The doctor said that he was the most special immune person. He wanted to know what made him special. The most direct way was to find out the difference between himself and Jamie.

Jamie smiled: "You'll get used to it."

Ouyang...

He really wanted to ask you directly what you smelled, but after hesitating for a while, he decided not to.

I can't reveal my situation. No one knows if this guy is in cahoots with the doctor!

Ou Yang sat down, leaning against the railing, and asked quietly, "Were you also captured by them? How did they capture you?"

Jamie tilted his head and shrugged in a very Michelangelo way. "I'm a freshman this year. I just arrived when the epidemic broke out. The school locked down the campus, but unfortunately, they couldn't contain the virus... Everyone around me got sick, but I was the only one who was fine. Then, I don't know how these people found out, but I was inexplicably brought here... What about you?"

"Me?" Ou Yang thought about it and decided to tell the truth, briefly recounting his experience.

He still suspected that this guy was sent by the doctor.

The doctor said that he had read his test report, but whether it was the physical examination a few days ago or this morning, it was conducted under the leadership of the US military. The communications in Brown Bear City were blocked by the military, and it was impossible to obtain the physical examination report through the Internet or other normal means.

In other words, there must be some special connection between the doctor and the US military, especially the US military that blocked the airport!
The US military discovered that his situation was special, so they sent him out of the airport. The doctor and his group of militants ambushed a US military vehicle. The doctor had unclear connections with the US military, and the relationship between them was so complicated that it was a mess that could not be sorted out.

Ou Yang wailed in his heart. He was just an ordinary person, not the smartest one. Such a brain-burning relationship was almost life-threatening.

In short, fabricating his origins was not a good option, and he didn't want to arouse any unnecessary suspicion before finding a way to escape.
