'Key, I need a key. '
Deng Ximei listened to the new information brought by Wu Shiyu and started to think. She looked at the black fog again and came up with an answer.
It was the connection with the foreign world. That was what was missing.
She was a Spirit Child from Afterlife Cult, so she was born with that connection, but the others here did not. The black fog should be the border between Earth and the foreign world. To cross the border, one would need the key or else they would not be able to enter.
Since Gu Jun had given such a warning, if they tried to force their way in, the consequences would be dire.
After the command central received the report, Tong Ye immediately stopped the suicide squad. The old man trusted the two female generals at the frontline.
As for the 'pregnancy radiation' and 'Gu Jun is pregnant' that Wu Shiyu mentioned … everyone hoped that was just her intuition.
But now, a question was placed before the command central and those who knew the truth. Where could they find the 'key'?
The foreign world or Carlop World, there were not many people and things that existed in this world.
Gu Jun's Carlop autopsy instruments were one of them, but he had all of them with him. Carlop midwifery was a skill, the members could try to learn it immediately. Perhaps that would help strengthen their connection. Other than that, there were some other ideas.
"Lai Hwa Tree." That was Wu Shiyu's first reaction.
The Lai Hwa Tree, the Lai Hwa Tree that had once made a great contribution, had grown less than 10 cm. It was still a small sapling, and it was still at the headquarters' Spell Department base at Da Hwa City. The Lai Hwa Tree was a plant from the foreign world, Gu Jun had mentioned that to the organization.
Both Gu Jun and Wu Siyu treasured this little tree very much. When they were in Da Hwa City, they would often take care of it and watch it grow bit by bit.
They still had no idea how the Lai Hwa Tree worked, but every time they looked at it, they would feel refreshed.
Now, there was no doubt that it had a strong connection with the foreign world.
If it was airlifted to Eastern State, it could be done in two to three hours. However, Tong Ye had another concern, and Deng Ximei agreed with him. To place the Lai Hwa Tree in Eastern State, especially in Anfu Village and the black fog …
"Will this strengthen the connection between the two worlds?" Tong Ye asked. "Will it expand the area of the black fog? You helped the Life Society of Negative Choice instead? "
Wu Shiyu could not give an explanation for this, and the strange dream did not give him any clues in this regard.
However, as she thought about it, she felt a little uneasy. It seemed possible.
Therefore, it would be best for the 'key' to be in the Eastern State. It would be a part of this strange event to reduce the possibility of it aiding the enemy.
And it wasn't that there weren't any who met the requirements.
At the medical base, Wang Ruoxiang, who was involved in the planning, thought of the corpses of the Afterlife Cult members soaked in formalin. There were the heads of the Red Shirt members, the limbs of the Black Shirt members, and the Necro-skins. She wondered if they counted as keys.
Deng Ximei, on the other hand, was thinking of the exact opposite …
The abnormal babies born with the shadow of the foreign civilization.
"They might be … the best key." She shared her thoughts with Tong Ye. "Shub-Niggurath is the Goddess of Dark Life, and the closest connection to life is life itself. The abnormal babies can come from there, and the abnormal babies can also return there. If every member of the team brings one abnormal baby with them … "
Naturally, she understood the biggest flaw of this method, and it was also the scariest part.
They were called abnormal babies, but in reality, they were babies that were less than a month old. Some were even born today, so they were still young and fragile.
Even without considering the danger, just leaving the nursery and coming into contact with the virus and bacteria from the outside world could cost them their lives.
Every abnormal baby was a life, a life that was born without any sin.
'We shouldn't do this, we shouldn't …'
Deng Ximei was still trying to come up with other solutions.
As the commander, Tong Ye was at a loss even when he had to make some ruthless decisions. "Let's first ask the children's parents for their opinion."
The bottom line of morality and ethics had to be upheld. That was what they sacrificed themselves to protect, or else they would be no different from cultists.
They risked their lives to neutralize the abnormal energy that caused the abnormal babies' misfortune. They wanted to free all the babies, children, and young lives from pain and fear, not to bring them into the battlefield.
No one could accept this kind of 'key'.
The key could only be a special abnormal baby that had a connection to the foreign civilization. The number of these abnormal babies was very small, especially after the introduction of Carlop's midwifery. Currently, there were only 7 of them in the Phecda of Eastern State.
This type of abnormal baby had a very high negative selection rate. Of the 7 babies, 5 were negative, 1 was positive, and the last one was a draw.
In the first unit that was called off at the last minute, one of the three warriors, Sun Yu, had a daughter that was a negative selection abnormal baby.
She was born one week ago. Her limbs were perfect, and her eyes were bright when she opened them. She looked perfectly fine.
But in the delivery room, Sun Yu personally heard the newborn say the word 'negative selection' before she cried. At that moment, his heart wrenched with pain.
The baby had gone through many tests, but there were no health problems. However, there had to be something wrong with her body. In today's environment, this was a negative selection.
Furthermore, she could suffer from fatal symptoms at any moment.
The patients with Alien Hand Syndrome were walking into the abyss. Artificial coma could not solve the problem, so the Medical Department decided to perform experimental amputation on some of the patients whose sepsis did not improve. However, even after amputation, some of the patients' sepsis could not be effectively controlled. There were already three deaths. All of the patients suffered from severe phantom limb pain, which was far worse than the postoperative symptoms of BIID patients.
Now that he heard the latest news, Sun Yu's heart felt like it was going to burst.
He looked at the black fog and hesitated to speak to Uncle Dan, who came to communicate with him. He could not make a decision.
"Uncle Dan …" Sun Yu looked helplessly at this man who was familiar with even the Special Mobile Force at Eastern State. "Should I bring the baby with me?"
Uncle Dan sighed. The usual smile had disappeared from his face. His expression was tense. "The number of such children is too small. If we really do this, the higher-ups will prefer to send more powerful members. They will have a higher chance of success and survival, and they will be able to protect the baby better."
"I understand, I understand …" Sun Yu mumbled. His face was ashen. He hated his own helplessness. "I understand that no one wants to do this … The original intention was to save the baby, not to put the baby in danger alone … but … I …"
Uncle Dan patted him on his shoulder. He could not help. "The higher-ups are hesitating. It will depend on your opinion."
"I need to discuss this with my wife, I need to discuss this with my wife …"
