"Wazefa?!"
Seeing that his frantic mother was still committing suicide, Hudson couldn't help but yelled, "You irresponsible scum!"
"Okay."
Hicks Seeing that the other party's pupils had dilated, he closed his eyes and shook his head, then stood up with a stern face.
And use the high-power communication that comes with Individual Equipment to report to the base on Mars:
"This is Corporal Hicks Dawn stationed at FC336. It has been confirmed that an abnormal phenomenon that can affect the human mind has occurred on FC336.
The entity with no abnormality has been found yet. I judge that it is hidden and processed by Chief Corporation. Containment Unit needs to be dispatched for assistance. Please reply after receiving it."
"Bah... bah..." The current is busy.
When Hicks heard the news, he frowned. Vision's subordinate said in a deep voice, "The communication has been blocked."
"Made." Hudson held the M41A tightly with both hands and cursed, "It must have been done by the Chief's gang."
Gina, who was guarding the door, turned around and asked, "Sir, what should I do?"
"The destination remains unchanged, continue to Control Room." Hicks closed the M41A safety in his hand, walked outside the house and said calmly:
"Chief Corporation definitely has the specific information and location of the abnormal phenomenon. More importantly, Control Room can also restore communications and call for support."
On the other hand, Hudson, who was following Hicks, suggested hesitantly:
"Hicks, this anomaly is so weird. Yesterday it was just a violent incident, but today it has developed into a mass suicide...
How about we take Escape Pod to leave the colony first, so that we can restore communications, and then notify Mars Base to send reinforcements?"
"No." Hicks immediately objected:
"Because we may also be affected, before we know how the abnormal phenomenon is transmitted, we must not let it leak out from this asteroid."
Then he shouted in a low voice, "Marine Corps, do I understand?!"
"Huha!"(x2)
Hudson and Gina also roared in response.
"Very good, let's go!"
Hicks raised the M41A in his hand and walked out of the house first.
Hudson is in the middle and Gina is behind, keeping a distance of two meters between them and heading towards Control Room.
On the way.
The colonial houses and corridors are full of families of miners who committed suicide, and the circumstances of their death are unbearable to look at.
Either cut the neck or hang yourself.
As Hudson said.
The colony was still violent last night, which only attracted their attention, but today it turned into a mass suicide.
This shows that this abnormal phenomenon has an extremely rapid impact on the human mind.
However, the three of them were not affected by any infection for the time being.
This...
Very strange.
However, there is an explanation circulating within Umbrella, that is, the company's employees are protected in some way, and the abnormal phenomena cannot control the minds of employees at all.
This statement has been increasingly recognized by everyone since 'FuckoffCult' was taken into custody.
However, Hicks, who is cautious by nature, does not dare to let down his guard due to rumors, thus causing the company and mankind to fall into crisis.
Soon.
The three of them came to the office area of Chief Corporation's senior employees. The decoration style was far different from the miners' living area, clean and bright.
Garden of Nurgle, with its square and flat layout and a grassy view in the center, seems to be used to relieve visual fatigue.
But it still has something in common with the miners' living quarters.
There are corpses of people who committed suicide everywhere.
.
Hudson glanced around, shook his head and sighed, "It seems that all the people in the colony are dead, and the miners who entered the mines are also in danger.
Hey, Dead Space?"
"Oh my god... people are going crazy... crazy!"
However, as soon as Hudson finished speaking, a chief employee wearing a shirt and suit pants appeared in the field of vision covered in blood stains.
The employee staggered as he walked, covered his face with his hands, and finally collapsed on the lawn, muttering nervously to himself:
"Crazy... all crazy... oh my god..."
Upon seeing this, the three Marine Corps immediately pointed their guns at the chief employee and slowly moved towards him.
At this time, Holographic Glasses, which was connected to the helmet, also completed scanning the employee.
His name is Edward Jones, one of the few Chief Corporation executives in the colony.
Looking at the data in front of him, Hudson pointed the muzzle of his gun at Jones's forehead and said with a ferocious smile, "Humph, since he is the chief's scum, there is no need to treat him nicely.
(Looks at Hicks) Do you want me to pry open his mouth for interrogation?"
Hicks raised his left hand and waved it, and ordered in a low voice, "Okay, he is a survivor anyway, you two should be on guard around."
"Yes."(x2)
Hicks approached Jones and asked in a cold tone, "Mr. Jones, may I ask..."
!?
However, before Hicks could finish speaking, Jones suddenly raised his head, looked directly at Hicks with his red bloodshot eyeballs, and said in panic:
"Corporal? Oh! My God! Great, you are not affected. Quick, run quickly, we have to escape from here!"
With that said, Jones quickly stood up and stretched out his hand to drag Hicks towards Escape Pod's position.
But Hicks dodged away with contempt, and also reached out to grab Jones' collar, closing the distance between them, and then...
"Crack!"
He slapped Jones with control and asked again, "Please wake up and report the situation to us."
After being slapped, Jones' condition improved significantly, and he nodded with some exhaustion:
"Okay... Corporal, could you please... let me go first?"
Hicks let go of his hand and gave the other party freedom.
Said: "Did you do this to cause communication interference? Also, what exactly did you dig up?"
Jones unbuttoned a button on his collar to breathe easier, looked in the direction of Control Room and said:
"Sergeant, the communication jamming was turned on by the supervisor himself, and I also know the permission password.
I can help you solve it. As for what I found... there is also image data in Control Room. I just hope you can protect my safety!"
"No problem." Hicks certainly had no objection to Jones' surrender and ordered:
"Gina open the way, Hudson, you will protect Mr. Jones' safety throughout the entire process."
"Yes." Gina, holding an M56, walked ahead.
"Yes, sir." Hudson responded with a strange voice and came to Jones' side.
.
Thanks to the help of Jones, the three of them opened the password door of Control Room without using violence.
Enter.
There was no one inside, and it seemed that the chief technicians were affected by the abnormal phenomenon before they even entered their posts.
As he said, while assisting Marine Corps in restoring communications, Jones also played back the 'things' data that the chief had dug up.
I saw that deep in the mine, that is, in the cavity inside the asteroid, there was a giant double-helix structure object with patterns carved on it.
An anomaly that is obviously a man-made object, 'Marker'.
