"It's a success …"
Everyone returned to Robert Neff's residence. After that, there was nothing for them to do. Robert Neff and Chu Hao started to get busy. The two of them talked about various academic terms mysteriously. They even asked Xi Kong and Zhang Heng to capture several mutants and bring them back. They stayed in the underground laboratory all day long. No one knew what they were doing.
Three days passed slowly. During these three days, the rest of them ate and drank well. Occasionally, Zhang Heng would bring Tom, Ao Qi, and the others out to hunt. It could be considered as adding delicious game to everyone's menu. This made Xi Kong's already terrifying appetite even more terrifying …
It was not until the evening of the third day that everyone saw Robert Neff and Chu Hao come out of the underground laboratory. Their eyes were red, and the dark circles under their eyes were extremely heavy. At first glance, they looked like they were about to die of exhaustion. So, Robert Neff only said three words before he went back to his room to sleep.
Chu Hao was slightly better. He forced himself to speak and said, "Basically, the design is complete. Regarding the problem of the antidote being vaporized, there are still some major problems in the experiment. For example, the airtightness and volatility, and the need to be dense enough to kill the virus, and so on. The most crucial problem is that we don't have enough equipment and materials here. We can't produce a large amount of the antidote, so the next battle plan is …"
At this time, Ao Qi finally could not help but say, "Chu Hao … you should go to sleep. How is it? Look at you … I'm really worried that you'll faint or die immediately. Don't talk about it anymore. How about we discuss the battle plan tomorrow? "
Chu Hao furrowed his eyebrows. Initially, he wanted to continue speaking. However, since the others were nodding their heads continuously, he didn't force them. He said, "Alright, we'll discuss this in detail tomorrow morning. I'm really tired …"
After saying that, he went straight to his room. After a simple wash, he fell into a deep sleep on the bed. The next morning, everyone gathered in the dining room. They ate breakfast and discussed the next battle plan.
Chu Hao seemed to be in high spirits. He didn't look tired at all after working for a few days. However, Robert Neff couldn't do the same. He kept yawning and was very tired.
"… As mentioned before, there are a few major problems that we need to pay attention to after the antidote is vaporized. First, the density of the antidote is the problem. This is different from the liquid antidote because it is in a gaseous state. Moreover, the antidote is not fully designed. Therefore, when the antidote is vaporized to a certain extent, its killing effect on the mutants will decrease rapidly. It will only cause them to faint for a short period of time. This is the second problem we need to vaporize the antidote.. This is because we don't have enough antidote..
"With all our equipment and materials, the antidote can only be used in the internal space of the research institute. As long as it is diluted by the air outside, the entire battle plan will fail. Because of this … everyone, look here."
Chu Hao pressed a button on a laptop. The laptop displayed layers of the design framework. Chu Hao pointed at it and said, "This is the internal space of the research institute in my memory. Most of the rooms have been destroyed. Only a few rooms with high-end equipment are still there. They are closed by alloy doors and password locks. Let's not talk about these for now. The entire internal space has a total of four vents and an open passage to the outside world. Of these four vents, two of them are damaged. Although they can still be ventilated, the degree of damage is very small. This can be ignored, but the remaining two vents must be dealt with."
At this point, Chu Hao clapped his hands and said, "That's the basic situation. What's left is the battle arrangement … First of all, all of the antidotes that we've produced must be placed in the deepest part of the research institute. I've marked out three locations. All three locations can be used to place the antidotes. As for which one to place, we'll decide based on the situation. This is the most important point of the battle. Place the antidotes according to the location."
"Secondly, these two vents must be completely blocked and buried. Otherwise, as long as one of the vents still exists, our battle will be declared a failure. This is also one of the key points."
"My plan is like this. We have to act at night and sneak into the research institute."
Their vision is more developed than ours. The same goes for their sense of smell and hearing. In the night, they can still see things in the dark, but we can't. Moreover, they are extremely strong and extremely fast. Even if we attack them with firearms, as long as we don't hit their vital parts, we won't be able to kill them at all. Entering their nest at night is suicide! "
Chu Hao shook his head and said seriously, "Even though that's the case, they're hunting at night. Due to the accelerated metabolism of the mutants, their need for food is much higher than us humans. The same goes for water. Therefore, they spend most of their time hunting outside at night. There are only a few mutants in the entire nest, or maybe none at all. It's not realistic to sneak in during the day. Although they're sleeping at that time, as long as there's even the slightest noise, we'll have to face the few mutants who are guarding the nest. Instead, we'll be surrounded by thousands of mutants. Other than planting the antidote, we'll also have to blow up the vent. Therefore, it's impossible for us to not make any noise. Our only chance is at night!"
After that, Chu Hao ignored Robert Neff and said directly, "When everything is done, we will retreat immediately. At the same time, we have to eliminate all the smell we left there. Then, when the day comes, the mutants will return to the nest. Even if some of them have evolved intelligence and find traces of us or the mutants we killed, they will be alerted. During the day, they will not be able to walk under the sun and immediately find a new nest, so they will definitely stay in the research institute. Once the antidote is activated and evaporates into gas, the entire research institute will be filled with the antidote gas. Because there are no vents, the antidote inside will almost never be diluted. In this way, the battle will be a success!"
At this time, everyone silently thought about the entire battle plan. Apart from the fact that it was indeed very dangerous to act at night, the plan itself was actually quite good. Even Robert Neff had to admit that this might be the only way to eliminate all the mutants in the research institute. However, it was really too risky. If they were not careful, everyone would be wiped out there. According to his thinking, since they had endured so many years, it would not hurt to endure for another half a year, right? Why did they have to take such a risk?
However, to his surprise, other than himself, no one else present had any objections. This was simply unbelievable. Although it was the duty of a soldier to obey orders, there would definitely be soldiers who would oppose and raise objections to such an obvious act of suicide. This was not a war like World War II. After such a long period of peace, the commander would probably be court-martialed for sending soldiers to their deaths. As expected of the soldiers from Area 51, they were very obedient.
However, Robert Neff misunderstood. What he did not know was that it was not that everyone did not want to object, but this matter concerned their life and death. If they could not complete the mission, the only outcome would be obliteration. Moreover, such an infiltration operation had a certain success rate. Although it was also very dangerous, it was still better than waiting for death, right?
Just like that, after the battle plan discussion was completed, it was decided that the infiltration operation would begin tonight. Aside from Robert Neff, who was still hesitating, Chu Hao had already begun to arrange the tasks.
My team will be responsible for placing the antidote. Xi Kong and Zhang Heng, the two of you will blow up the ventilation ducts. The operation will start at … 2 am. The total operation time is half an hour. After the operation is over, we will gather at the entrance of the research institute. I want each of you to calculate the time accurately. After half an hour, regardless of whether there are still people who have not arrived, I will lead the team and leave. So, do not delay. Our mission is not to kill the mutants, but to complete our respective tasks. "
"From now on, you can choose the weapon you want to use. Any weapon is fine as long as you can use it. At the same time, Xi Kong, you are responsible for making a trip to the various government military warehouses shown on this map and find the personal night vision goggles inside. Everyone will get a set. In addition, look for bombs. I don't need them to be too powerful. Just do your best. Next, I will begin to assign the names of each group."
Just as Chu Hao was about to assign the names, Robert Neff suddenly said, "Wait a minute, I want to …"
Chu Hao frowned and looked at him, then said, "Colonel Robert Neff! Maybe you don't agree with the danger of this operation, but please remember, we are soldiers. I won't talk about what a soldier's duty is, but please remember the purpose of your struggle in New York for several years. Maybe there will be sacrifices, maybe there will be danger, but what we are doing is the same as your purpose, so please don't stop us. "
Robert Neff sighed and said, "No, I think … I can go with you. Yes, this mission is indeed very dangerous. Although it's different from what I expected, I can't just watch you take the risk while I stay in this house. So, let's go together. This is the antidote I made, and I know its characteristics. Moreover, I have fought with the Mutants for many years, and I know their strength and fighting style. In that case, I don't understand why I won't go with you. What do you think? Count me in. "
Chu Hao suddenly smiled. He reached out and shook hands with Robert Neff and said, "Understood, then …"
"Welcome to join us, Colonel Robert Neff."
