Chapter 20 Going to the Research Institute(1/2)
Ten minutes later, the "Challenger" landed at the Upper Island Airport.
Compared to when they left, the airport runway had been cleaned up. Several armored vehicles were shuttled around the airport, and the base special service personnel wearing black combat suits were cleaning the remaining plants on the runway.
After Mo Yun and his group got off the plane, they saw a young man in black uniform standing next to the runway. After seeing them get off the car, the young man immediately came over, saluted, and stood beside him with a decent look.
"You are... Barry Lund." Leng Shanhong greeted.
"Commander, welcome back!"
Barry said respectfully, "In the past two days, I sent someone to clean the airport and evacuate the runway. That kind of plant is very afraid of fire, so I sent a special service team to light a bonfire nearby to disperse that plant."
"Very good, what is your plan?" Leng Shanhong asked.
"Start at the airport and gradually retract the ground," Barry said. "When you find a solution to phytochemical disease, you will start to formally remove the plants, drive them back to the depths of the island, or eliminate them."
"Very good." She nodded.
"What is this?" Barry noticed the little girl behind Leng Shanhong and asked in surprise.
"This is Ellie, the person who can be immune to plant spores."
"That's great, she is our hope!" Barry said excitedly.
"Oh?" Leng Shanhong looked at him, "Is there any good news here?"
"Yes." Barry said hurriedly, "We just received news from the institute that they have made new progress in research on phytochemical diseases. As long as they find the blood of the immunized person, they have great hope of developing a vaccine."
"What's going on with them now? Is it safe?" Connor asked.
"Staying safe for the time being," Barry said. "The experimental equipment in the institute is intact, but there are some shortages of daily necessities, which can only last for a few months."
"Several months..." Mo Yun was stunned for a moment.
"Yes." Barry nodded, "The institute on the island was originally the place where the organization was used for confidential research, so it was established according to the specifications of standard shelters. In order to deal with emergencies, they usually keep their daily necessities for half a year."
"Then let's go now." Leng Shanhong said, "No further ado."
"Okay." Barry nodded, "I have prepared mountain motorcycles and off-road jeeps for you and a few adults. Although it is not far from the base to the institute, it is not easy to walk on the road and may be attacked at any time."
"Okay, give me the map again, I want to take a closer look." Leng Shanhong said.
"yes."
Barry quickly ordered people to drive three motorcycles and a black jeep, and delivered a paper map and an electronic map to Leng Shanhong.
"At our pace, it will take about two hours."
Connor looked for a while and estimated.
"Two hours..." Mo Yun thought for a while, "It's better for us to ride motorcycles."
"That would probably be able to shorten the distance to an hour and a half."
Leng Shanhong turned her head and was a little hesitant.
She looked at Ellie next to her, "Allie, have you ever been on a motorcycle?"
"It's okay, sister, I'm not afraid!" Ellie said firmly.
"you……"
"I know what you have to deal with is very important, so you can't delay it." The girl said in a childish but firm voice, "I won't drag you down!"
"Okay." Leng Shanhong nodded and turned to everyone, "Let's go now."
"Okay, I haven't ridden a motorcycle for a long time." Connor nodded.
"There are actually motorcycles here..." Leng Shanhong looked at Barry.
"It was a member of our special service team before. He usually likes to play mountain and off-road. After the phytochemical disease broke out, he drove his treasures into the base in advance." Barry said, "I have filled you with oil, which is more than enough for two round trips."
"It's done well." Leng Shanhong gave a thumbs up.
“This is what I should have done.”
Everyone didn't say anything more.
Although Mo Yun stepped onto the motorcycle, he had never driven it, but fortunately his physical instinct made him easily familiar with this kind of vehicle.
I believe Mo Yun in this world must be a person who often rides motorcycles. As soon as he touched the handlebar of the motorcycle, he felt like he had touched the silver sword, and he felt a special feeling of intimacy.
"We're leaving." Leng Shanhong waved to Barry.
"I wish you success," Barry said respectfully.
Leng Shanhong picked up Ellie and tied the little girl behind her back with a seat belt. After confirming that she was firm, she took the lead in starting the engine.
The tires made a harsh friction with the ground. With the rumbling sound of the engine, the three motorcycles started side by side and headed towards the research institute in the northeast direction.
The oncoming wind is very cool, and the sun is just right at this moment, and the road in front of you is clearly visible.
Breathing fresh air, Mo Yun felt much more relaxed.
Although this world made him feel a little confused and uncomfortable, he soon adjusted his mindset. No matter what, he is not himself in this parallel world. He does not need to worry about factional battles in the "New Century" organization, nor does he need to consider the origin of the awakened person. He currently only needs to complete the task of "solving phytochemical disease".
As the saying goes, you have to walk step by step and eat at a sip.
It is unnecessary to worry about things that are invisible and intangible. Just do the things in front of you well.
Thinking of this, his mentality gradually adjusted and began to observe the natural scenery along the way with a relaxed attitude.
According to the information he learned after coming here, the first development of the island was because of the rich local mineral veins, but because of the excellent natural scenery in the region and an island near the ocean, it was slowly developed to establish a tourist attraction. Then, many people came here to settle down and gradually developed into a gathering place for humans.
The motorcycle ran across the highway like lightning, leaping over the soil slope along the way, crushing the plants blocking the road.
Connor, as the leader, drove at the forefront.
Whenever a plant blocks the road ahead, he releases flames and clears out a path.
"call--"
The red flame swept across.
At first glance, he looked like a human-shaped flamethrower.
"Brother is spitting fire again!" Ellie seemed to adapt to the speed of the motorcycle and happily pointed at Connor ahead.
"Ha ha……"
Leng Shanhong responded with a smile.
There are jungles that cannot be seen at first sight, and there are many dangers.
However, among the four, Mo Yun, Leng Shanhong and Connor are all special physiques. According to the name of this world, they are awakened. Although Little Ellie is an ordinary person, she can be immune to plant spores and is not affected by phytochemical diseases.
If ordinary people join this team, they will definitely be afraid of being parasitized by plant spores.
But Mo Yun and others didn't care at all.
Therefore, their speed was much faster than Barry. About an hour later, Mo Yun and his men approached their destination.
Soon, a small town appeared in front of him. The jungle on the roadside gradually became sparse, and some single-family villas with orange exterior walls appeared on both sides of the road, but they all looked empty and overgrown with weeds.
Although they were sure that they were close to the town, they looked almost full of green forests, and there was no trace of the town at all.
“According to Barry, the institute is located about a kilometer outside the town of Uejima.”
Several people parked their motorcycles on the highway outside the town, which was about to be covered with bushes and weeds. Leng Shanhong took out the map and half-squatted beside the car to show it to everyone.
"That's just..."
Connor turned his head and looked to his right.
Mo Yun looked over and found that there was a gray-white rectangular building about three hundred meters away. The house was surrounded by fences and surrounded by entangled vines and leaves, which almost blocked their view.
"No wonder we can't see, the growth rate of these plants is so terrible."
Leng Shanhong sighed.
"Is that there?" Mo Yun asked.
"I think so."
"This place is very suitable for scientific research." Connor looked at the surrounding environment, "and also suitable for elderly care."
"Let's go." Leng Shanhong didn't chat.
They rode on their motorcycles again, left the road, and drove up the grass on the right.
Soon, a few people approached the tall gray-white building.
After getting closer, Mo Yun saw clearly the three words "Study Institute" posted outside the gray-white brick wall. They drove the motorcycle directly to the exterior wall of the institute and then approached the main entrance of the institute.
The main door is an automatic door made of special alloy, and there are two cameras with opposite angles directly above the door. As soon as Mo Yun and others approached, they heard a gush.
The door slowly opened.
Several people immediately walked in quickly.
A middle-aged man in a white coat and thin body stood in the hall to greet them. The man was wearing glasses, holding a pistol in his hand, and holding the remote control that switched the door in the other hand. In terms of appearance, he had a typical Western appearance, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a pair of dark blue pupils.
After seeing him, Mo Yun automatically recalled the image of a doctor of medicine.
"Welcome to you." said the middle-aged man politely, "and Your Excellency Commander."
