Section 34 Square
Chapter 34 Square
The purpose of the negotiation is very clear: I hope to provide technical support with the German government for vaccine development and biotechnology. In exchange, China will fully open the trade market, increase the export quota of various strategic reserve resources, and promise that German oil and gas fields in the South China Sea will be developed by German oil and gas fields.
These extremely generous conditions are not aimless. According to the intelligence obtained by the Ministry of National Security from special channels: a newly developed biological gene technology by Merck Pharmaceuticals in Germany is of great help in the development of anti-infection vaccines.
"It must be obtained at all costs-"
Lin Xiang clearly remembered what the Chief of 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 generous conditions offered by China, the German government's attitude was not clear. They seemed to want to agree, but they were a little unstable.
This surprised the delegation and also deeply worried.
Obviously, it is not that the Germans do not want to accept it, but that they have some kind of trouble that cannot be expressed.
"I have no doubt that your government is sincere. Personally, these terms can indeed promote trade cooperation between the two countries. But you must understand that some things can not be solved simply by relying on diplomatic means..."
The German Minister of Commerce praised the conditions proposed by China. At the same time, he also made a very obscure hint that the key to the problem does not seem to lie in the conditions themselves.
Not only him, but all senior German government officials who had contact with the delegation expressed regret and regret to varying degrees.
Wen Hanyuan, the head of the delegation, did not expect such a situation to happen. According to his thinking, mutual support between countries is actually a naked exchange of interests. In order to obtain this biotechnology that is helpful for the research of vaccines, China has made major concessions. Strangely, the German government turned a blind eye to it and even repeatedly used various excuses to try to avoid similar topics.
This is not normal.
The Spree River in autumn is quiet and gentle.
The cool river water flows slowly over the gray stone steps, occasionally rolling up beautiful vortexes. The gloomy sky shines on the mellow blue river surface, covering a layer of faint haze. The water grass that is born at the bottom of the river swings happily along the flow direction, as if the girl's long and soft hair makes people want to bend down and reach out to touch it gently.
"Please note that the famous Brandenburg Gate is ahead, which is also the pride of Germany and the symbol of Berlin."
The tour guide's inspiring words and enthusiastic attitude did not resonate with tourists at all. After looking at the majestic building standing under the hazy sky in the distance, Lin Xiang shook his head gently, got up and walked off the tourist bus.
There was a deadlock in the negotiations.
It is obvious that the reason is not on China. In response, the embarrassing German side made a reply that "internal consultation is needed". At the same time, the German diplomatic department also diligently arranged sightseeing activities for famous attractions in the city.
"You don't seem to be very happy?"
Without looking back, Lin Xiang also knew that the person who was asking was Lieutenant Colonel Hogan Hoffman.
He was about forty years old, his gray hair was meticulously combed, and his words always showed the unique arrogance and indifference of the Aryans. His high nose bridge and deep eagle eyes combined to exude a standard military temperament.
As a military accompaniment appointed by the German side, Lieutenant Colonel Hogan obviously did not have much interest in social activities on this kind of scene. But for some reason, Lin Xiang felt a very strange aura of affinity from him.
Maybe, this is because he can speak fluent Chinese!
"At this time, no one can be happy."
Such an answer seemed to be expected by the lieutenant colonel. He took out a box of blue Marlboro cigarettes, tore open the seal on the surface and handed it over: "Come on one?"
"Thank you, I won'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 representing the smoking area on the ground, took out a lighter and lit the cigarette, took a sip, turned his head, and observed him seriously with a sharp look. Suddenly, he said in a very strange tone: "You shouldn't be here."
"Why?" Lin Xiang was a little surprised.
"The negotiation cannot have a result. No matter what the price you pay, you cannot get what you want." The lieutenant colonel glanced at the others in the distance with deep eyes, deliberately whispering in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Lin Xiang turned around suddenly, his eyes filled with shock and vigilance.
He was surprised that Lieutenant Colonel would talk about this to himself. This obviously exceeded the power of the accompanying personnel. If it were not for the official instruction, what would be the purpose of Huo Gen's words?
"Actually, I'm the same as you, all..."
The lieutenant colonel seemed very satisfied with the effect of his speech. 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 was not on him at all. But... at the end of the square in the distance.
A hunched figure walked over the "March 18th" square paved with blue-gray stone slabs.
It was a man wearing a dark black coat with the same color and texture on his head. He staggered, dragging his seemingly heavy legs, and slowly moving his body forward step by step. His arms that fell from his shoulders shook weakly, as if a puppet had lost the control of the line. Occasionally, the corner of the hood was blown up by the wind, and a pale face that was covered underneath could be seen faintly.
Judging from the appearance, this should be a patient with some serious illness.
But Lin Xiang doesn't think so.
His eyes kept following the man's footsteps. The surface of the other party's leather shoes, which had some gaps, was covered with sticky red liquid. They were squeezed out from the gap between the shoes and the ankles and flowed to the ground, forming bright red and clear footprints.
It was a living zombie.
"We are in big trouble..." Lin Xiang, whose face suddenly changed, stood up straight and walked around the lieutenant colonel's broad shoulders and murmured.
Hogan's face turned pale. He clenched his fists tightly, his white lips trembled like a nerve, and his mouth was almost moaning.
"No, it shouldn't be like this-"
The harsh police car screamed from the other end of the square, and the crowds of people could be clearly heard. Then, a slight vibration came from the flat ground. Soon, countless panic-looking people came from under the round Doc pillars of the tall Brandenburg Gate.
"Help--"
"Hurry, run away-"
"What are those, my God?"
The scene in front of me seems a bit familiar. Aren’t the civilians who fled the way in Chengdu and Kunming cities the same as they are now?
The members of the delegation were obviously not mentally prepared. Wen Hanyuan stared blankly at the crowd rushing past him, his face full of surprise and confusion.
Those who have not witnessed the tragic situation of an infected city can never imagine what a fearful disaster it was.
"Get on the bus quickly-"
Except for Lin Xiang and Hogan, Fang Yujie reacted the fastest. She grabbed Wen Hanyuan's clothes and collar without saying a word, and turned his body over, and rushed to the parking lot in the distance.
Although she had never seen a hellish scene of a virus outbreak, she knew the power of r12 better than anyone else.
The group stumbled and fled from the square. When approaching the parking lot, a tourist bus with a government license plate tilted its body and rushed out of the field, smashing the red and yellow wooden poles in front of the entrance to smash the red and yellow wooden roadway, and drove onto the crowded highway.
Compared to losing his job, the driver is obviously more willing to choose to survive.
"Go to the Capitol, which is the closest emergency shelter area-". Despite his own indifference, Lieutenant Colonel Hogan did not forget his duties.
Lin Xiang calmly took out the "Special Six" pistol on his waist. As a special foreign affairs officer, this was the only carry-on weapon he could carry.
The heavy magazine was filled with six large-caliber bullets.
He lowered his body and ran forward slightly faster than normal running. Doing so will not only allow the followers to keep up, but also ensure that his physical strength will not be consumed too quickly.
Parasites are natural enemies of mutant creatures. However, strong people who exhaust their power will be swallowed up 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 flooded by a sea-like corpse group. Countless pairs of dry arms stretched to the hazy sky. In the dull and empty eyes, the desire for fresh meat and the hunger of human blood were emitted.
"Start up and rush over—"
The corpse group coming from the north is less than two hundred meters away. Only by rushing out of the square with all your strength can you cross the road and enter the opposite Capitol building.
"Click--"
Fang Yujie took off the black high heels on her feet, gritted her teeth and picked up the slender heel and broke it hard. In front of everyone, the beautiful conical heel was completely pulled off, and the snow-white toes wrapped in jade stockings were put into the flat-soled shoe body. Although the beauty and image collapsed in an instant, they had more chances to survive.
