#834 - Chapter 834: Cold Disaster Returns
Night.
Close to midnight.
At Green Origin headquarters.
All Green Origin combat units dispatched today have returned!
This mission, launched at dawn with the explicit purpose of killing and destroying evidence, was extremely successful!
Several forces that had previously troubled Yao Lei and Liu Qing were uprooted and erased from history.
And that's not all!
The equipment jettisoned by Air Force One before it crashed was also successfully located with Liu Qing's guidance!
Finding these items before the snow completely covered the ground was naturally the best outcome.
After the helicopters returned at night, these items were immediately handed over to Li Xu and Man Wu in the research and development department for processing. Qin Jin has high expectations for what they can produce in the future.
The remaining task, of course, was to have others go to Fuhai City to find survivors and confirm the truthfulness of what Captain Xian said.
The straight-line distance between Mentang Town and Fuhai City is over a thousand kilometers, which a helicopter can cover in four to five hours at normal cruising speed.
Zhong Yu ultimately captured five survivors and brought them back to the base.
These individuals were located in different areas, randomly encountered and captured during his flight.
They have now been sent to the base's interrogation room for processing.
Qin Jin isn't cruel enough to use innocent people and then kill them.
As long as these people cooperate, they will be granted freedom again in Guangnan Province after the necessary information is obtained and the Fuhai base is dealt with.
If they perform well, they might even qualify for Green Origin Level 1 personnel status.
Overall, today's mission was very successful. They successfully cut off potential leads that could expose the Green Origin base, eliminated those who had offended the combat units, and retrieved several people to gather information.
Sitting in his office, Qin Jin stared at the increasingly heavy snowfall outside the window, a hint of gloom flashing through his mind.
Today, Zhong Yu and the others mentioned that the helicopter's flight in the snow was already showing signs of danger.
If helicopters are to be the main combat unit to defeat the Fuhai base and seize their useful resources, this undoubtedly increases the difficulty considerably.
A helicopter can only carry a dozen people and a limited amount of weapons at a time. Even with nearly ten helicopters at Green Origin's disposal, it's hard to say for sure they can take down the enemy.
Because, according to the intelligence extracted from Captain Xian, the Fuhai base has an air defense system!
If they rashly fly helicopters over there, they might be shot down directly by the enemy's anti-aircraft missiles.
Therefore, they must find a way to bypass these weapons and approach from other angles.
At this moment, the Fuhai base feels to Qin Jin like a large alligator snapping turtle.
The target poses a certain risk.
But with his full strength, he can solve the problem.
However, he values the meat it possesses even more.
Qin Jin would be heartbroken if he couldn't completely devour the Fuhai base and those precious data, technologies, and research talents sank to the bottom of the sea.
This is also what makes it feel tricky to him.
"We haven't been discovered by them yet, and this heavy snow is helping to cover everything up. The Fuhai base probably won't know someone is coveting them for a while. We should have enough time!"
He muttered to himself, looking out the window.
This heavy snow has helped Green Origin to some extent.
As long as the enemy remains unaware of Green Origin's existence, the planning can be done at leisure.
Qin Jin returned to his desk and opened a report from the laboratory analyzing the mutated fish meat obtained from the Fuhai armed forces.
After Zhong Yu and the others rescued Team Leader Li and the others that day, they naturally didn't forget to collect the weapons and useful supplies from the rooftop. The supplies preserved on the enemy's damaged helicopter were also unceremoniously taken.
As members of the Fuhai base's armed forces, they naturally brought fish meat that had been detoxified by the base when they came out on missions.
After Captain Xian revealed this information last night, Qin Jin had people quickly find the fish meat and take it to the laboratory for analysis.
A simple examination didn't take much time. Zhou Qihang and the others produced the results in less than a day.
With his learned knowledge, Qin Jin easily understood the information provided by the laboratory.
As he had guessed, the Fuhai base had indeed found a way to transform the mutated fish meat, which originally contained a large amount of unknown toxins, into something that humans could consume in small quantities.
As long as it doesn't exceed the human body's absorption standard, which is about 100g, the slight toxins can be excreted from the body through metabolism.
This is indeed a food that can be used in the apocalypse!
Never mind slight toxins, if the survivors outside knew about this, they would definitely cry and beg to trade for it.
Including the Green Origin base itself, it would be good for personnel of all levels to supplement their protein.
Qin Jin put the information aside and picked up another report from the laboratory.
It listed several follow-up treatment plans for Li Bowen. It seems that the solution to the virus couldn't be extracted from Captain Xian, so they can only save Team Leader Li through other means.
"Let's sleep for now. It shouldn't be too long before we find a way to wake Bowen up!"
Qin Jin is still very confident about this.
The laboratory just got a big shot like Elder Sun, and all kinds of new achievements appear every once in a while. Even the D-Serum and regenerative fluid are constantly being improved and iterated.
As long as the base continues to develop, Qin Jin believes that they will definitely find a way to completely solve the zombie virus!
The night is long.
Qin Jin, who hadn't rested last night, still maintained his vigorous spirit and pondered the next development plan.
A powerful physique gave him the confidence to persevere.
He will definitely build an even stronger base.
The next day.
The sun was still nowhere to be seen in the morning.
The snow is still falling.
Even more violently than yesterday!
At seven or eight in the morning, the Green Origin people who woke up and were about to start a new day of work couldn't help but shiver when they saw the constantly falling snowflakes outside.
"Damn it!! Why is it even colder today!? These days are hard to get through!"
Someone who had just walked out the door felt the unbearable cold outside.
A team member on duty looked at the thermometer and the temperature had dropped to minus thirteen degrees!
A sharp drop in temperature overnight!
Coupled with the unrelenting blizzard, the Green Origin base's cadres realized that the situation was becoming more severe.
The leaders of various departments quickly arranged for new deployments, transferring some outdoor work indoors as much as possible, and preparing to officially begin dealing with the arrival of the severe cold.
Even the large and small residential areas outside were notified to reduce outings and remain silent in the residential areas to work unless absolutely necessary.
Not only Guangyuan City, but the entire Guangnan Province, and even the entire Hua Nation, have entered a major cooling mode!
Severe winter has arrived!
