- Chapter 34 Square
The purpose of the negotiations is very clear: we hope to provide technical support with the German government in vaccine development and biotechnology. In exchange, China will fully open its trade market, increase the export quota of various strategic reserve resources, and promise that German oil companies will develop oil and gas fields in the South China Sea.
These extremely generous conditions are not without purpose. According to information obtained by the Ministry of National Security from special channels: a biogenetic technology recently developed by the German pharmaceutical company Merck will be of great help in the development of anti-infection vaccines.
"We must get it at all costs¡ª¡ª"
Lin Xiang clearly remembers what the Chief of General Staff said to all members of the delegation before leaving: "We must win this biological war. For this, we are willing to pay any price."
Faced with the favorable conditions offered by China, the attitude of the German government is unclear. They seemed to want to agree, but were a little hesitant.
This made the delegation not only surprised, but also deeply worried.
¡°Obviously, it¡¯s not that the Germans don¡¯t want to accept it, but they have some unspeakable troubles.
"I have no doubt about the sincerity of your government. Personally, these clauses can indeed promote trade and cooperation between the two countries. But you have to understand that some things cannot be solved solely through diplomatic means "
The German Minister of Commerce was full of praise for the conditions proposed by China. At the same time, he also very implicitly hinted that the key to the problem did not seem to lie in the conditions themselves.
He was not the only one. All senior German government officials who had contact with the delegation expressed regret to varying degrees.
As the leader of the delegation, Wen Hanyuan did not expect such a situation to occur. According to his point of view, mutual support between countries is actually a naked exchange of interests. In order to obtain this biotechnology that will help develop vaccines, China has made major concessions. What is strange is that the German government has turned a blind eye and even used various excuses to avoid similar topics.
This is not normal.
The Spree River in autumn is quiet and gentle.
The cool river water flows slowly through the gray stone steps, occasionally rolling up beautiful whirlpools. The gloomy sky reflects on the mellow blue river, covering it with a layer of haze. The water plants growing on the bottom of the river swing happily along the flow, like the long and soft hair of a girl, making people want to lean down. Go, reach out and touch it gently.
"Please note that in front of you is the famous Brandenburg Gate. It is also the pride of Germany and the symbol of Berlin."
The tour guide¡¯s encouraging words and enthusiastic attitude failed to resonate with tourists at all. After taking a look at the majestic buildings standing in the distance under the hazy sky, Lin Xiang shook his head gently, stood up and walked out of the tourist bus.
There was a deadlock in the negotiations.
¡°Obviously, the reason is not on China¡¯s side. In response, the rather embarrassed German side responded that "internal discussions are needed." At the same time, the German diplomatic department also diligently arranged sightseeing tours to famous scenic spots in the city.
"You seem unhappy?"
Without looking back, Lin Xiang knew that it was Hogan who asked the question. Lieutenant Colonel Hoffman.
He is about forty years old, his gray hair is meticulously combed, and his speech always reveals the unique arrogance and indifference of the Aryans. The combination of his high nose and deep-set eagle eyes exudes a standard military temperament. .
As a military escort appointed by the German side, Lieutenant Colonel Hogan obviously did not have much interest in such social activities. But for some reason, Lin Xiang felt a strange aura of affinity from him.
Perhaps, this is because he can speak fluent Chinese!
"At this time, no one would be happy."
This answer seemed to be expected by the lieutenant colonel. He took out a box of blue Marlboro cigarettes, tore off the seal on the surface and handed it over: "Want one?"
"Thank you, I can't." Lin Xiang waved his hand politely.
"Men should learn to smoke. This is the only enjoyment besides women and alcohol."
The lieutenant colonel carefully moved his body into the yellow line on the ground that represented the smoking area, took out a lighter and lit the cigarette, took a slow drag, turned his head, and observed him carefully with sharp eyes. Suddenly he said in a very strange tone: "You shouldn't be here."
"Why?" Lin Xiang was a little surprised.
"The negotiation can't be fruitful. No matter what price you pay, you can't get what you want." The lieutenant colonel's deep eyes squinted at the other people in the distance, deliberately lowering his tone and saying that only theySaid a voice that can only be heard by an individual.
Lin Xiang turned around suddenly, his eyes full of shock and vigilance.
He was surprised that the lieutenant colonel would talk to him about this. This is obviously beyond the authority of the accompanying personnel. If it is not an official instruction, then what is the purpose of Hogan's words?
"Actually, I am the same as you"
The lieutenant colonel seemed very satisfied with the effect of his words. Just when he wanted to continue the conversation between the two, he unexpectedly discovered that the black pupils in Lin Xiang's eyes suddenly shrank into needles, and the focus of his sight also changed. Not in myself at all. Butat the end of the square in the distance.
On the "March 18th" square paved with blue-gray stone slabs, a rickety figure staggered towards the square.
It was a man wearing a dark black coat and a cloth of the same color and texture on his head. He staggered, dragging his seemingly very heavy legs, and slowly moved his body forward step by step. The arms hanging from his shoulders swayed feebly, like a puppet that had lost control of its strings. Occasionally, the wind blows up a corner of the hood, and you can faintly see the deathly pale face covered underneath.
? Judging from the appearance, this should be a patient suffering from some serious disease.
But Lin Xiang doesn¡¯t think so.
His eyes kept following the man¡¯s footsteps. The surface of the opponent's already somewhat chipped leather shoes was covered with a red viscous liquid. It was squeezed out from the gap between the shoes and ankles and flowed to the ground, forming bright red and clear footprints.
That¡¯s a living corpse.
"We are in big trouble" Lin Xiang, whose expression suddenly changed, stood up straight, walked around the lieutenant colonel's broad shoulders and murmured.
Hogan's face was ashen, he clenched his fists, his white lips trembled nervously, and he murmured almost like a moan.
¡°No, it shouldn¡¯t be like this¡ª¡ª¡±
The piercing screams of police cars came from the other end of the square, and you could clearly hear the roar of people and the screams mixed with them. Immediately afterwards, there were slight vibrations on the flat ground. Soon, countless panic-looking people came under the tall round Docker columns of the Brandenburg Gate.
"Help¡ª¡ª"
"Hurry, run away quickly¡ª¡ª"
¡°My God, what are those?¡±
The scene in front of me seems a bit familiar. Aren¡¯t the civilians fleeing in Chengdu and Kunming the same as they are now?
The members of the delegation were obviously not mentally prepared. Wen Hanyuan stared blankly at the crowd of people rushing past, his face full of surprise and confusion.
"Those who have never witnessed the tragedy of an infected city with their own eyes cannot imagine what a horrific disaster it is.
"Hurry up and get in the car¡ª¡ª"
Except for Lin Xiang and Hogan, Fang Yujie responded the fastest. She couldn't help but grab the back collar of Wen Hanyuan's clothes, dragging and turning his body over, and quickly ran to the parking lot in the distance.
Although she has never seen the hellish scene of a virus outbreak, she knows the power of r12 better than anyone else.
The group of people stumbled away from the square. As they approached the parking lot, a tourist bus with a government license plate tilted its body and rushed out of the square, knocking over the red and yellow wooden poles in front of the entrance. smashed into pieces and drove onto a busy highway.
Compared with losing his job, the driver is obviously more willing to choose to survive.
¡°Go to the Capitol Building, that¡¯s the nearest emergency evacuation area¡ª¡ª¡± Although somewhat distraught, Lieutenant Colonel Hogan did not forget his responsibilities.
Lin Xiang calmly took out the "Special Six" pistol from his waist. As a special foreign affairs officer, this is the only sidearm he can carry.
The heavy magazine was filled with six rounds of large-caliber bullets.
He lowered his body and ran forward at a slightly faster speed than normal running. Doing this will not only allow others following you to keep up, but also ensure that your own physical strength will not be exhausted too quickly.
Parasites are the natural enemies of mutated organisms. However, a strong man who exhausts his strength will be swallowed alive by thousands of ants.
The Capitol Building is on the west side of the square. The distance between the two is about one thousand meters.
The Brandenburg Gate has been submerged by a sea of ??corpses. Countless pairs of withered arms stretch out into the hazy sky. Their dull and empty eyes radiate a desire for fresh meat and a hunger for human blood.
"Speed ??up and rush over¡ª¡ª"
The group of corpses coming from the north is less than 200 meters away from here. Only by rushing out of the square with all our strength can we cross the road and enter the Congress building on the opposite side.
¡°Click¡ª¡ª¡±
Fang Yujie took off her black high-heeled shoes, gritted her teeth, picked up the slender heel, and broke it off hard. In full view of everyone, the graceful conical heel was completely pulled off, and the snow-white toes wrapped in jade-colored stockings were inserted into the flat shoe body. Although her beauty and image collapsed in an instant, she had a little more chance of survival.
Two mounted policemen who had apparently just received the order came running from a distance. They had no experience in dealing with such incidents. They were at a loss. Sensing the approaching danger, the horses subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away. Unexpectedly, a living corpse rushed in front of them. Tighten the tail hard and drag it to the ground. Seeing this, the extremely hungry corpses immediately swarmed forward, using their sharp nails to cut open the skin and flesh of the prey, pulling out the fresh liver and smooth intestines, and hurriedly stuffed them into their mouths and chewed them wantonly. In an instant, all that was left of the two mounted policemen and their horses were a few white bones that had been licked clean. - Didn't finish reading?
