The entire minefield should be about one or two hundred meters away, but it took Lin Rui's team nearly forty minutes to pass without any danger.
Lincoln, who led the team, relied solely on his eyes. If he was really unsure, he would use a thin wire with a magnet attached to it to test it. The metal fragments of the mine will attract the magnet. Although the attraction is not very strong, some clues can be found from the vertical thin lines. There was no other way, because they had never thought that there would be a minefield in this dense forest before.
Deep inside the base, several people got off the landing helicopter. The leader was wearing a red hood, which stood out in the green rainforest. Everyone unconsciously kept a certain distance from him, as if this man was like a blazing flame, and if you got too close to him, you would burn yourself. Few people know his name, but his code name is shocking - Red Baron!
The Red Baron and several followers strode towards the door of the experimental center. This is an experimental center built entirely with steel frame structure and various modern materials. There were strict guards at the door, and they all wore full protective clothing. One of them stretched out his hand to stop the Red Baron from advancing, "I'm sorry, sir, the professor is at work."
The Red Baron shrugged and said, "I don't want to go in either. You go and call him out."
"This Your Excellency, no one can interfere with the professor's work except his team members." The guard whispered.
"Inform him that no matter what he is doing, I will see him in five minutes." The Red Baron said coldly. His words were unquestionable, cold and devoid of any emotion.
The guard did not dare to neglect at all, and immediately used the phone outside the laboratory to notify the inside. Then he said to the Red Baron, "Professor Schmed said he will be out soon."
After a while, Schmeide, who was wearing protective clothing and the disinfectant liquid on his body had not yet dried, came out and said angrily, "What on earth is going on that you insist on disturbing me at this time?"
"Professor, I'm afraid I have to interrupt your research." The Red Baron said coldly, "I remember I gave an order that you must evacuate today."
"Today? Today is the day to evacuate?" Professor Schmed seemed a little confused.
"Yes." Red Baron said calmly.
Schmeide immediately shook his head, "This is impossible! The research is at a critical moment when it is about to make a breakthrough. If the research is stopped at this time, do you know how much damage it will cause? All the efforts I have made in the past few years will be in vain. The damage caused will be immeasurable.¡±
"But you must also understand that this place is no longer safe. We have eliminated three groups of intruders in recent months. It is obvious that the US military has locked onto this place. They may take action at any time." Red Baron Leng Leng Di said, "The evacuation is for your own good."
"They dare not carry out air strikes because it is very likely to cause the virus to spread over a wide range. The only thing they can do is to keep sending some people over to harass me and hinder my research progress." Schmeide took off his head. Wearing a protective helmet, he said loudly, "And if we evacuate now, we will play into their hands. I must continue my research. You must give me another week. In just one week, I will be able to enter the stage of human trials." .¡±
"So the research has been completed?" the Red Baron said with a look in his eyes.
"We are almost on the doorstep of success. Now we only need one step to cross the threshold. I have solved some key problems. The Ebola virus genome has a tight structure and efficient organization. I can use genetic technology to cultivate new The mutant virus makes this virus more efficient and more lethal.
But now the problem we need to solve is here, because this virus is so powerful that it is fatal almost a week after infection. This makes the virus less transmissible. Because the infected host dies too quickly, it will not be able to cause greater infectivity.
¡°If we can slow down the death of people infected with the virus and control their death time to half a month, or even a month. Then the contagiousness of this type of variant Ebola virus will sweep across Africa in a short period of time. So I need more time to experiment, collect necessary data, and use it to verify my ideas. "Professor Schmed kept saying.
"What will be the impact if we leave now?" the Red Baron frowned.
"Leaving now will affect the accuracy of the experimental data and make many previous experiments in vain. If we want to continue the research, we have to start all over again. God, give up all this? This is simply a nightmare." Shi Med said angrily, "I'm not going anywhere until I finish this phase of research."
The Red Baron carefully consideredAfter a moment, he frowned and said, "What if I only give you five days?"
"Five days is a bit too anxious, but I will still try my best. I hope nothing will go wrong again during this period." Schmed complained with some dissatisfaction. "Are you a little too cautious? I feel that it is very safe here and there is no need to worry too much about raids.
This is a war-torn area in Zaire. Even if the US military launches a raid, only a few personnel will infiltrate, and it is impossible to dispatch large-scale troops. There are at least a few hundred people guarding here, so it should be very safe. "
"I can only give you five more days. Once this deadline is up, you and your team must evacuate immediately with your research data. We have found a suitable location in Europe. You can continue to complete this work there. job." The Red Baron said solemnly.
"Well, if you insist. I have to get back to work. I don't have much time to waste on such stupid conversations." Schmeide shook his head and said, "Sorry, Your Excellency."
"Well, mark my words, you only have five days to complete the work." The Red Baron said coldly.
Schmeide put on his protective helmet angrily, turned around and walked into the laboratory again.
"Baron, you just let him go like this?" A member of the secret society next to the Red Baron whispered.
"It's just another five days of delay. Dr. Schmeider is right. It would be too costly if all the previous experimental results were wasted. We have invested a lot of money in this project. It's all overthrown. If we come, even we will suffer heavy losses. Since this guy is so determined, we might as well let him delay for another five days.
The member of the secret society nodded and said, "I think it may not be such a coincidence. Something will happen within five days. Besides, we are here to guard. Even if something happens, we can protect the professor and his team." .¡±
"I hope so." A trace of worry flashed in the Red Baron's eyes.
