Latent Syndrome

Chapter 279 278. Herd immunity

Section 4 underground base.

Since the isolation area has not yet been built, some dangerous infected people are detained here as research subjects.

Luca took over all of Harris's work. He was tall and stooped. He walked with the scientific researchers in the research room and reviewed the real-time situation.

There were no problems with the guards. These infected people were also soaked in glass vessels filled with green liquid and had thick pipes inserted into them.

"I rarely come to the research room."

"I don't really understand these studies."

"Are these people conscious?"

Luka couldn't help but asked a female researcher.

"It's conscious."

"These tubes fill their brains with a unique pheromone that keeps them stable."

The woman nodded.

Since the research of the second department requires a large amount of data support, each regional department also has a research room with professionals, just like Irina in the eleventh department, to observe some subtle data and then feed it back to the second department. Section 2.

"What kind of pheromone is it specifically?"

Luca's face was almost pressed against the glass vessel, and the curved surface of the glass reflected the concave distortion of his face. In the eerie light reflected by the green chemical liquid, this face was beyond terrifying.

The evil eyes with unknown emotions were staring straight inside, observing the expression of the sleeping infected person.

"A pheromone that stimulates the hippocampus in the medial frontal lobe can evoke past memories and anchor more closely to the symbolic world, thereby delaying the progression of the disease and obtaining more data."

The woman answered truthfully that it had always made her very uneasy since she started working in the fourth department, because Harris didn't care about anything, put the world in crisis, and read a spiritual book all day long. The person in charge made her feel relieved. This ultimate power of the first department was very responsible for everything, no matter how big or small.

Luka looked at the face that was wandering with its eyes closed, the facial muscles twitching slightly, feeling a little satisfied.

"I see."

"very good."

"Keep it up."

Luca's face turned away from the vessel.

His words were quite puzzling to the female researchers. Although they couldn’t say there was anything wrong with them, they still felt a little out of place.

At this time, an agent walked up to Luca and whispered something to him.

"Is this so..."

"This is important information."

Luka nodded, hunched back to Harris' office, used the base terminal, and dialed a number, which was Colin's.

…

…

…

Stormtrooper activity room.

The liaison officer of Section 1 asked his men to control the tanks and rockets and take them to a secret stronghold on the outskirts of the city. The people of Section 1 began to interfere with the operations of Section 4. However, due to conflicts with the high command, they could only do so secretly. conduct.

"Who's calling?"

the liaison officer asked.

Colin made a silence gesture to tell him not to speak, and then answered the phone. Surprisingly, it was not Harris's voice, but a completely unfamiliar voice.

"Thank you for taking the time to answer my call, Agent Colin."

"Because Mr. Harris, the head of Section 4, unfortunately died due to an accident."

"I will temporarily take over this position."

Luca has taken care of one of the five things, now it's the turn of the next one.

"what's your name."

Colin asked casually, thinking it was a bit clever. He didn't expect that Harris would be dead without doing anything himself. Was he an accidental death? After all, he is a person with the qualities of a sergeant. There must be another reason for this.

"I'm really sorry for not introducing myself."

"I am one of the most powerful people in Section 1. Just call me Luca."

"But if you have to strictly follow the process, except for the high command behind the scenes."

"You can also call me, Deputy Director."

Luka's voice, although gentle, had an invisible pressure.

Colin frowned, deputy director? Deputy Director of the Countermeasures Bureau?

The liaison officer's physique is also different from ordinary people. After hearing the conversation in the terminal, things are getting worse and worse. If this person comes to Liberty City, it is basically certain that the herd immunity plan will begin to be implemented.

"What's the matter with you?"

Although the other party's identity was a bit scary, Colin didn't care. After Randy's battle, he no longer had an ideological stance, and he didn't care about senior officials of the Countermeasures Bureau.

"Please pay attention to your attitude, Agent Colin."

"In other words, you are more accustomed to the name K."

"There are some things that I want to interview with you and let me see what tasks you are performing."

Luca checked the database.

"The information shows that you are assisting Section 4 to defend against SCT intrusions, but as far as the record is concerned, you have been neglecting your duties."

"Although the agents of Section 1 are free, they may have something important to do and can be forgiven."

"Time is running out now. I must explain some of the next combat details to you face to face."

Luca's calm, emotionless voice came from the loudspeaker.

The liaison officer shook his head at Colin and motioned for him not to go. He probably guessed what Luca was thinking. Colin was currently the only neutral person in the first department, and Luca now wanted him to take sides.

"Sorry, I'm not free right now."

"I'm following the events in the South Pacific, which are also quite important."

Colin understood what the liaison officer meant and made up an excuse to fool him.

"you……"

"seem……"

Luca said every word.

"I don't understand the situation."

"This is not an invitation, but an order from the deputy director of the Countermeasures Bureau."

"Do you want to defect from the Countermeasures Bureau?"

"Maybe it's just my wild guess, but I have to think so, because you do have such a criminal record."

"At three o'clock in the afternoon, I will send the address to your terminal. In terms of process, the priority of the order I give is above the priority of everything else."

Luca lays out some facts.

Colin's eyelids twitched. Is it herd immunity? The deputy director of the Countermeasures Bureau cannot kill him before he tastes it.

He checked the time on his phone, and there was still more than an hour left.

"very good."

"wait for me."

Colin hung up the phone directly, and then immediately called Irina to make sure that the woman was safe, and after tampering with the record, he felt relieved.

Because Colin was too afraid, he asked Irina to fake the death of his ex-wife, which was absolutely safe. In this way, Colin did not have any constraints and only needed to let go and solve the matter.

"It's better to be careful..."

"Luka once had a battle with Ogi."

"It can be said that they are evenly matched."

"It's... Hagi in his heyday."

The liaison officer believed that there must be some conspiracy involved. Although SCT was composed entirely of madmen, their madness was the same. The Countermeasure Bureau was still fighting among themselves.

To be honest, he no longer had any hope, it was nothing more than continuing his final destiny in this world that was about to be ruined.

"I have my own sense of proportion."

Colin didn't say much. He was on guard against everyone in the Countermeasures Bureau. Because he had covered up, the whole world was looking for someone who knew the truth.

He left the activity room covered in blood.

The liaison officer was left alone looking at the world map and city map in the room, lost in thought.

They were completely unaware that those who had shaved their heads were slowly recovering.
