"We've got it back, come and take a look." On this day, when Qin Heqing stayed at home as usual, watching TV, writing, replying to all kinds of consultation questions in the shrine forum, and teasing all the women in the VIP customer group of the club to talk about the world and colors, Mr. Tanaka's phone came in again, and he said in a heavy and light voice.

"Where?" Qin Heqing asked in surprise.

"Here in the main department, call me when you arrive, and I'll ask someone to go down and pick you up."

"Yes."

Then Qin Heqing hung up the phone, briefly packed up his things, and left the apartment with Yue'er and Ayukawa, who he had summoned from the pot world, and took the subway towards the headquarters building of the countermeasures bureau in Chiyoda Ward. Moments later, they appeared underneath the building.

"I've arrived." Qin Heqing sent a text message to Tanaka.

"I'll send someone down to fetch you." After a while, Tanaka replied.

Then Qin Heqing put away his mobile phone and waited downstairs......

Soon I saw someone coming.

"Qin Jun."

Qin Heqing turned his head and looked at the other party, "Apricot, did Mr. Tanaka ask you to come down and pick me up?" ”

"Yes. Mr. Tanaka has been waiting in the lab for a long time, so let's hurry over. Apricot smiled slightly, first politely bowed to Qin and Qing, and then spoke quickly.

"The research room? What are you looking at the victims? Qin Heqing nodded, followed Apricot Zi's footsteps and walked towards the annex building where the research room was located, and said in surprise.

"Yes, after all, that person's condition is quite weird, and he still has a certain degree of contagion, so for safety and treatment considerations, the person was transferred to the 5A-level special protection research room as soon as he was picked up from Nanguo, and was examined and treated by the staff of the research room." Kyoko replied without the slightest concealment.

Obviously, this should not be classified information, otherwise no matter how stupid and sweet she is, she would not be so blatant to disclose this kind of content to Qin Heqing, an outsider.

"So is your research fruitful?" Qin Heqing asked curiously.

As for why he was so confident that the countermeasures bureau hadn't just brought people back......

If it was really just picked up, with the pride of the countermeasures, I wouldn't have called myself so early.

Otherwise, where will they put their face?

"Nope." Sure enough, Kyoko Yokoyama shook her head and replied with a somewhat gloomy expression.

Qin Heqing nodded slightly, didn't ask anything more, silently followed Hengshan Kyoko into the annex building, took the internal elevator, and came to the floor where the special research room for the infected was located, and walked into it.

Suddenly, an environment that was more exaggerated and full of science fiction than a special laboratory for the restoration of cultural relics at the national level that Qin Heqing had visited by chance once in his previous life came into Qin Heqing's eyes, and the research equipment that looked novel and unnamed was lined up for a researcher wearing a white scientific research coat with a solemn expression to use and fiddle with, detect and observe the same things they wanted to identify.

The hall was almost silent, except for the hurried footsteps of researchers and the constant movement of figures echoing through the laboratory.

It wasn't until Qin Heqing was led by Hengshan Apricot through a heavy isolation gate made of special glass that two figures dressed up differently from scientific researchers and some pictures that looked like evil experiments really entered Qin Heqing's eyes.

And it was none other than Mr. Tanaka and his administrative secretary who had called Qin Heqing to inform him, as well as a group of infected people who were being studied in heavy all-round isolation suits.

"Only this one?" Qin Heqing, who walked slowly and did not attract Tanaka's attention, walked up to him, looked at the infected person who was being tossed and studied in the space on the other side of the isolation window and asked softly.

"Heqing, you're here." Tanaka was taken aback, turned around, and saw that the person who spoke was Qin Heqing, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and pulled out a faint smile and said.

"Didn't you say there were two infected, and the other?" Qin Heqing smiled politely, and continued to look at the scene in the isolation laboratory and asked rhetorically.

"The other one is still in the Southland." Mr. Tanaka sighed.

"In the Southland? Because of the bald eagle? Qin Heqing raised his eyebrows and said unexpectedly.

"After all, there were only two infected people at that time, and as members of the investigation project carried out by the three parties, they also had the right to let the infected people stay in the southern country." Mr. Tanaka explained.

"At the time? In other words, there are new infected people now? Qin Heqing keenly grasped the key words revealed in Mr. Tanaka's words and asked again.

"Yes. Soon after our members had problems, the investigators on the southern side also went berserk for some inexplicable reason, wantonly attacking their companions. Although it was suppressed by everyone's joint efforts in the later period, the plan to enter Miryang was completely shelved...... Soon after, the evening of the day after our people showed symptoms of infection, three more members showed mild symptoms of infection, and one member developed a mutated ......"

"Mutation, didn't you just get infected, why did you still mutate?" Qin Heqing said in astonishment.

The expression on his face was incredible.

"We don't know." Mr. Tanaka shook his head and said, "So the entire investigation team has stopped its work now and is being placed in a temporary isolation point in Gyeongsangnam-do Province for observation and disposal." ”

"And how did you get this man back?" Qin Heqing wondered.

"The whole process of isolation and special plane transportation, plus the destination is an island country, so it took a little effort to get people back." Tanaka explained.

"Then why don't you get all the infected or the members of the investigation back." Qin Heqing asked more and more puzzled.

Anyway, one gets it back, and a group of people get it back, so why leave most of it behind and bring only one, which is not the most precious mutant to come back for research?

There are many bodies that are not disliked for studying this kind of thing.

"We were transporting people on the morning of the second outbreak, and the members of the investigation team had not yet shown signs of anomaly, and then the outbreak ......," Tanaka replied.

It also explains why only one person was brought back, and not all of them were brought back.

"Then those people are left in the Southland?" Qin Heqing questioned.

"I still have to pick it up. But before that, we also need to master the corresponding methods of disposal, purification, and treatment, otherwise getting them back now will be a group of unstable time bombs, and if something really goes wrong, then the responsibility cannot be fully borne by a single countermeasure bureau. ”

"So?"

"So, I would like to ask you and my colleagues in the laboratory to research together to find a solution to the infection and alienation, and strive to bring back those companions who are still in the southern country."
