Wasteland Code Survival

"The whole army is annihilated?" Qi Lin squinted his eyes. He really didn't know the news. The organization strictly sealed all the news related to Vault 444. It was he who had just escaped from Vault 444. People have no right to know.

"Yes, the entire army is annihilated. Strictly speaking, all people who entered Vault 444, except for the number five that you and your team returned to report early in the morning, are dead."

"Has the organization given up its plan to retake Vault 444? Then what will the Edas consortium give?"

"This is not something we need to care about... But, having said that, since you came back from Vault 444, you should know about the gene collapse, right?"

"I can only guess that gene collapse is related to gene medicine, and the other is not very clear." Qi Lin said, the other party is obviously testing himself, in this case, it is impossible for him to tell all the guesses at once. , And you can’t pretend that you don’t know anything, that would be too fake-so he only said one of the most important factors: genetic medicine.

"Yes, you are very smart, and the organization has not disclosed any information about this to you, but you have guessed that the cause of the gene collapse is genetic medicine. Based on this, you are already qualified to be my assistant. "The executive grinned and pulled out a smile.

"But I still have one question." Qi Lin said.

"Say, I will never hide if I can tell you." The executive seemed quite generous.

"If there is a problem with the genetic medicine, why hasn't it been detected by the organization before, but now it has erupted on a large scale like a plague...Take a step back, even if time is tight and no clinical trials are conducted, then the injection of genetic medicine is also In batches, the first batch of injections will definitely show signs of genetic breakdown at the earliest, which should arouse the vigilance of the organization at that time, but for now, the situation is clearly not the case."

"The analysis makes sense...So, do you remember the last meal you ate before you set off on the mission?"

"There was a problem with that meal?" Qi Lin felt a little bit in his heart. He had guessed that there might be an "incentive" before. So, could that meal be an "induction"?

"Yes, simply injecting genetic medicine will not cause the gene to collapse. It is like a bomb. If no one triggers its fuze, it will lie there quietly and never explode. But if the gene If the drug injection person takes a special "interfering agent", the originally normal gene sequence will be instantly disturbed, causing symptoms of gene collapse."

The executive paused and continued, "Due to regulatory negligence, a batch of'interfering agents' were added to the food cans. This'interfering agent' is the fuse of the bomb, which leads to everyone who has eaten it. The bomb in the body of the canned food was detonated at about the same time."

"Who did it? Mastermind?"

"Behind the scenes, the BOSS must be the mastermind, but this matter is done by humans...In the current refuge, human forces have faintly divided into two camps...Tsk tsk...It is really a headache to think about. Fortunately, I only need to deal with the matters in the sixth district."

"Someone has taken refuge in the main brain?" Qi Lin is not surprised. After all, there is never a shortage of people who are greedy for life and fear of death in any era or anywhere... For them, perhaps the virtual world constructed by the main brain is the most The perfect "utopia".

"There are not only people... but there are many people." The executive looked at Qi Lin carefully again. "After talking so much, it's time to talk about business. Since I am my new assistant, let's start with simple things. Start your work."

He snapped a finger, and a cardboard box was immediately brought to Qi Lin's feet.

"what is this?"

"Work clothes."

Qi Lin opened the carton, and saw inside it was a set of fully enclosed thermal insulation and fireproof clothing, as well as a matching helmet and breathing device.

"What am I going to do?" Qi Lin couldn't help but frown slightly. He really couldn't think of any job other than the firefighters and the workers in the steel mill that needed to wear such clothes...

"Disposing of corpses, now there are more than 80,000 corpses accumulated in the entire sixth area, and there are also a steady stream of them being transported in from various places. The sixth area cannot'digest' so many corpses, and these corpses cannot be transported. Go elsewhere... Although it is a pity, we can only dispose of these corpses in an extremely ancient way."

"Cremation?"

"BINGO!" The executive said with a smile.

In the refuge, the corpse is also a kind of resource-flesh and blood, internal organs, bones, nails and hair, etc., which are essentially protein. After recycling, they can be used as fertilizer for crops and feed for livestock; and in many refuges There is a very low-priced jerky on the black market in Japan. The shopkeeper will only tell you that it is only a new variety of pork, but in fact, what kind of meat it is, whether it is the seller or the buyer, is actually very concerned. Tacitly.

Generally speaking, more than 70% of the corpses are thrown into the decomposition tank in the recycling plant, and about 10% of the corpses appear on the cutting boards of the butchers in the black market. Only about less than 20% of the corpses are cremated.

This cremation field in District 6 was obviously built not long ago. It has a separate "compartment" different from the cremation field of the old era. The treatment here is more extensive-Qi Lin only needs to have a heavy one. Throw the body bag into the pit nearly ten meters in diameter, and then pour it with a fuel similar to asphalt.

An equally large metal lid will cover the entire cremation pit. On the lid, there are two thick pipes that are held together by one person. One carries the oxygen required for combustion into the pit, and the other is responsible for exhausting the waste gas. The corpse, in case the internal air pressure is too high to cause an explosion.

Qi Lin pulled down the control gate forcefully, and the flames ignited. The plastic body bag melted almost instantly when it hit the fire. The exposed corpses were swallowed by the flames all at once.

There are a total of eight corpses like this in the entire cremation site, and each pit can incinerate nearly three hundred corpses every hour.

And Qi Lin’s main job is to use a shovel to shovel the ashes at the bottom of the pit into a sack after the incineration is completed-these are all high-quality flower fertilizers, but in view of the large amount of resources that are needed to burn the corpse , And only the rich areas can afford such things.

However, what made Qi Lin a little uncomfortable was... he was clearly arranged to be an assistant to the executive officer. After a few minutes of chatting, he was thrown here by the executive officer who was not much older than him?

What does this mean?
